Hi, any ideas as to WHY the NRA chose to stand with Harry Reid this past weekend versus standing with the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, after all, they were all in the same vicinity this past weekend. Please do tell us your perspective on this.

Thank you

Like the man said, piss-poor PR. There was no way to avoid that trap. It was a pure, pre-planned propaganda move by that turkey-necked old bastard Reid, to distract from the Tea Party rally and con the rubes into thinking that he was 'one of them'. A photo op. He was nothing more than a Nazi showing up at a bar mitzvah wearing a yarmulke and claiming he's responsible for the Latkes on the table. The NRA can't back away from making a pro-2nd Amendment appearance at a shiny new shooting park just because they don't like the delivery boy (and all Reid did was deliver the funds to the local government, BTW, not deliver the park itself). And further: this gun park has held three different openings since last August. One of which Wayne LaPierre already attended, sans Dingy Harry. Being rooked like that sucks, yes, but LaPierre can't endanger the entire organization by displaying personal bias. You can bet he wasn't happy about it, either, but Reid is an evil, manipulative SOB with no conscience whatsoever. His day of reckoning is coming, though. It's coming.

Perhaps because the National RIFLE Association chose to support a politician that came out and supported a RIFLE range rather than a generic political movement? Focus on message?

IMHO, when a Democrat or Republican or Libertarian or ANY politician turns out at a pro-gun event it's best to make that high-profile. Not only does it further reinforce the message of the 2nd Amendment, it makes it that much harder for the politician to backpedal and support restriction of 2A rights without the blatant hypocrisy being that much stronger.
