The NRA is not endorsing their good friend, Senator Harry Reid, of Obama, Pelosi and Reid fame in his battle against Sharon Angle in Nevada. So as not to offend him, they're not voting for Angle, either. The NRA will tell you that they are single issue, 2nd Amendment, and their criteria is myopic. Cast votes in favor of it and you have our endorsement. One could argue that the NRA is a 'useful idiot' on steroids.
No one is pro-gun if they vote in favor of Obama appointed left wing Anti-American Justices, including that sissy, Lindsey Graham. The Supreme Court decides our laws in this country, at least until Republicans grow some. 'Pro-gun' Democrats hide under the robes of these bolsheviks, and allow unabated laws and regulations to eviscerate the 2nd amendment.
Electing any Democrat adds to their ranks and risks making them the majority as we have now where they set the agenda and control what bills are brought to the floor and which are passed; and your 'pro-gun' Democrat representative writes to you back home that he fought the good fight. That's why a RINO is always better than any Democrat (just work really hard during the primary to elect Jesse Helms or someone). The RINO, at least, adds to the more conservative Republican majority where they will set the agenda with their majority pro-gun members and help elect Antonin Scalia's to the Supreme Court. And they will protect the 2nd Amendment for the NRA.
As we found out with Joe Sestack and the other 'pro-life until it counts' Democrats, if it ever came down to their agenda or your gun, you'd lose. With Obama in the White House, Democrats controlling the House and Senate, we are one Sotomayor or Kagan away from kissing our gun rights goodbye. And the NRA's 'pro-gun' Democrat won't have voted on a single gun issue, other than "Yea" to confirm.
update: just rec'd my !st Freedom mag from NRA. Right on the front cover, based on zip code, is printed the candidates for Senate, House, and Gov the NRA endorses and supposedly will protect your and Amendment rights. You can bet that the Nevada cover is blank regarding the Senate race because the NRA loves schmoozing with Harry Reid. If one of the 4 conservative Supreme Court judges dies or retires under Obama; if Justice Kennedy dies or retires, GUN LAWS WILL CHANGE AND HARRY REID WILL HAVE VOTED TO CONFIRM THAT NEW LIBERAL JUDGE JUST AS HE DID WITH SOTOMAYER AND KAGAN. Welcome to reality, NRA and thanks for nothing.
