Tuco, none of the issues you mention requires the courage you think. Nobody has lost their seat for opposing gun control, though you can lose for supporting it. But the debt limit issue can result in shutting down the government. There is a perception that shutting down the government is a sure loser, though I don't think that is an accurate perception.

B.T.W. Tuco, I am not denying your premise that there is a good deal of hypocrisy involved too.
