NRA says they never endorsed Hairy Screed officially but went on to say he has a good NRA voting record.
Hey duffus Fineberg, just where do you think BP gets the money you want to plunder from? Obama’s stash?
Who put out that word, their Chief Sniveler?
I’ve got two words for that whole bunch, the first one is BULL.......
I just found this from the WSJ blogs....
The chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association made an interesting admission to The Weekly Standard following a Wednesday report by RedState.com that the powerful gun lobby might back Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in his general election battle against Republican Sharron Angle.
It’s not that they might endorse Reid—because they might, said chief lobbyist Chris Cox—but that the issue doesn’t appear to be as much about the records of Reid and Angle, but rather the specter of a Senate run by either Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois or New York Sen. Chuck Schumer.
“Truthfully, the two individuals vying for majority leader should Harry Reid lose are the two most rabidly anti-gun, anti-Second Amendment senators in Washington, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin,” Cox said. “Does that give concern to NRA members and gun owners all over America? Absolutely, it does.”
If Reid loses his re-election battle, Durbin and Schumer are widely expected to run for Senate majority leader. Both are more ideologically liberal than Reid on a number of issues, not just guns.
For the NRA, it’s an unusually candid comment on the political nature of their decision. But it’s not he first time in recent weeks the NRA has been in the spotlight for their political decisions.
The group was the target of criticism on the right after it the cut a deal with Democratic congressional leaders to exempt the gun lobby from new campaign finance rules.
Cox dismissed a suggestion by RedState that Reid’s securing of a $61 million gun range in Nevada would affect their nod, but he did describe it as “the most impressive shooting facility in the world.”
