NRA Steps up Anti-Kagan Campaign

[Spok]

As much as we’d like to see it, a Democrat nominee will never get ‘Borked’, because Senate Republicans are mostly little girls.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Seriously? Isn’t this a little late? Or am I confused (always a possibility)...

[Drill Thrawl]

I see the NRA is exercising their 1st amendment rights as provided for in the DISCLOSE Act.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

Does Harry Reid know the NRA is doing this?!

[Dayman]

“...Sonia Sotomayor, who seemed to back the Second Amendment in confirmation hearings...”

No she did not. She never backed the true meaning or the straw men meanings of the second amendment and that info was widely known at the time. The NRA backing her was the NRA backing gun control.

[patton]

Yep. Once again, the NRA is wasting money on show, with no substance...

[Oldpuppymax]

Apparently the NRA figures it’s SAFE to FINALLY challenge Kagan, given the fact that enough super RINOs are voting to confirm!!! Or, maybe the organization simply wasn’t able to make another under the table deal for its own benefit!!

NRA Steps up Anti-Kagan Campaign

Total waste of time and money. Probably just doing it for "show". Jerks!!

[South40]

The NRA opposes Kagen yet they're just weeks away from endorsing Harry Reid who's sure to vote to confirm her.

I've been a Life Member since age 15. If they endorse Reid I'm gone.

[ANGGAPO]

Come November, those Super RINO’s will be looking for a new home. To even a moron, the Second Amendment says what it means and means what it says. I suspect that the people that are against the Second Amendment are all for the Mosque at Ground Zero.

Back her? Why did the NRA score that vote? They opposed Sotomayor. All the rats in the Senate have that vote on their record. Now those rats are in a bind with Kagan's vote.

FOR THE FIRST time in its 138-year history, the National Rifle Association is counting the votes on a Supreme Court nominee in its ratings of senators. That means senators -- including members of the Judiciary Committee who are due to vote on Sonia Sotomayor on Tuesday -- will have to choose between voting for the first Hispanic nominee and getting high marks from the premier gun rights organization, which opposes her confirmation.

Its too late. The Dems have the votes. Its a fundraising ploy by the NRA. All organizations including both political parties use these controversies to raise money. Next case.

Where's the appeal for donatons? How do you think the NRA, GOA, etc. determine their ratings of politicians? I'll give you a hint. Besides what the politicians say, their votes count too.
