... They did give $4K to [Harry Reid's] campaign ... STOP RIGHT THERE! /Meatloaf

Sorry Joe, there is no way to pour sugar on that to make it better. There isn't enough sugar in the world. That is a great big freaking line and they jumped it.

[Joe Brower]

I'm not pouring sugar on anything -- I've already stated I oppose giving Reid a dime.

As for a line being crossed, the ironic thing there is that the NRA has operated in this fashion for decades; it's only now that it's been noticed. Or that people have become so politically polarized that it now has become an issue. Or both.

I don’t want to expend resources supporting Dems through a political organization. I also don’t think other conservatives should support political organizations that support Dems as the NRA does.
Free Republic is primarily about promoting conservatism. Of course 2A is a part of that. However, the good that the NRA does in promoting 2A is torpedoed by the bad they are doing by supporting Dems who, along with rinos, are destroying this republic.

"The NRA never endorsed Reid. They did give $4K to his campaign, but no endorsement ever."

Non Sequitur.

[Joe Brower]

"Non Sequitur."

Not at all. You simply don't want to understand the term "endorsement" when applied to politics. Which is what we're discussing.

"You simply don't want to understand the term "endorsement" when applied to politics."

We don't support him but we will kick four thousand dollars in his direction. This makes sense to you?

[Joe Brower]

Doesn't matter what makes sense to me -- I'm telling you how it works, like it or not. Don't be like our liberal adversaries and simply insist that because you refuse to acknowledge something means it doesn't exist.

You still refuse to recognize the difference between a "donation" and an "endorsement". While a donation to a campaign (a primary campaign, specifically) does have the semblance of an "endorsement", in political terms it is not.

Perhaps you could look the two terms up in the dictionary. Or, better yet, call the NRA and ask them. If you hadn't thought of that yet, it's a good idea.

I'm done repeating myself to you -- I have work to do.

"I'm done repeating myself to you -- I have work to do."

As you wish.
