Do Democrats even think when they speak?

Instapundit points and laughs at Terry McAuliffe:  Terry McAuliffe Pledges Colorado-Like Gun Control if Elected.

Seriously.  Are Democrats’ brains simply not connected to their jawbones?  (I hear that cat-call from the back — “What brains?”  Work with me.)  Do they, somewhat like sufferers from Tourette’s, simply spew left-wing rhetoric uncontrollably?  If so, why don’t they ever apologize and retract the silly things they say?

McAuliffe must think that “Virginia” is only the ring counties around the south and west sides of Washington, DC, because from a certain amount of personal experience, I know the rest of the Commonwealth of Virginia doesn’t think like they do up in NoVA.  If he’s elected and actually tries this, I doubt seriously that it will end well.
