The NRA has falled to radicals. I’m cancelling my membership - something that would have been unthinkable 2 years ago.

I am done with the NRA. They were thrilled with Hairy Reed’s $70 million gun range in Nevada that could have been built for $1 million. It is a pure pork barrel real estate scam that Hairy Reed is know for. The NRA sucks now.

Edwards was allowed to vote the NRA position on legislation that was going to pass with or without his vote to help keep the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives.

If the GOP had solid control over the House, I could see this endorsement; but not now.

And how did this guy vote on TARP?

As promised, here is the response I just received from the NRA about my inquiry into why they are endorsing Chet Edwards in TX. I'm not supporting a democrat here, but merely passing on the information that was sent to me.

It would be helpful to also know what Edwards' opponents pros & cons are, and I have emailed the NRA back telling them this, in addition to letting them know that they need to publish this information on their website and through press releases 1/2 second after making their endorsements, so that the rumor mill doesn't immediately go ballistic.

Click the Gadsden flag for pro-gun resources!

Maybe the NRA should realize that whatever party controls the House dictates the overall agenda.

Supporting a Democrat that may be pro-gun is useless if it serves to keep Nancy Pelosi in power and in charge of the overall House agenda.

Idiots.

There are NO good democrats.

There are plenty of terrible republicans but not a single good democrat. That was confirmed during the health crimes disaster.

WTH has happened to the NRA?

Once again conservative money and muscle are being put behind a liberal candidate (American Conservative Union rating of 16 out of 100 for 2009).

The NRA outsmarts itself with its Machiavellian tactics.

This illustrates why it’s so important for conservative voters not to be endorsement-driven. It is essential that we vote with our heads, not with our “loyalties”.

There’s nothing wrong with supporting the NRA in terms of the lobbying work they do.

But to take their lead in who to vote for... that’s pure folly.

What good is protecting 2nd amendment rights if we are all forced to rely on Government healthcare and Government employment?

What good is a gun when one will never use it against ones benefactors?

The commies don’t need to worry about taking your guns when they know you need them to care for your children’s health and livelihoods!

So will the NRA be supporting Hussein in 2012? After all, he said he was pro gun rights too, and we KNOW he wouldn’t LIE!!!! I dropped my membership a month ago after the last sell-out of the American people by the NRA.

The money I used to sent to the NRA will now go conservative causes.

If Nancy Pelosi needs this guy's vote on a anti-gun law, she will get it. Democrats are only allowed to vote contrary to the party line when the party already has enough votes to win. Case in point, Bart Stupak(D)Michigan. The NRA knows this, but is still trying to lead it's membership astray just like the AARP on the healthcare bill. The NRA is not a public run organization, but a private lobbyist association run by the same jerk that made the “Jack-Boot-Thugs” comment back when GHWB was in office. There is something wrong going on here. Something more than the NRA kowtowing to keep their museum sign up on I-66.

Chet Edwards is the closest thing to being a Republican that any democRAT could be.

However...I say again...HOWEVER, he is still a democRAT.

I knew him personally while I was at Fort Hood and he is extremely supportive of soldiers and the military.

But the fact remains:

He has consciously chosen to remain as a democRAT for many, many years.

I’m done ..... No support to anyone or any organization that supports a democrat in any form or fashion.

Democrats are the majority source of gun control in my lifetme. NRA etc want to ignore that fact they can do it without my support or dollars.

Done....

Sorry, anyone with a (D) behind their name is a solid communist and are enemies of the constitution and the republic as far as I'm concerned, and 90% of the (R) are closet communists, our country is being overrun with terrorists and illegal aliens. Any org that supports a democrat needs to be cut off at the knees.

Chet Edwards had an ACU Rating of 16% SIXTEEN in 09 and an 8 EIGHT in 08. He is SCUM and number one on the Texas hit list. The NRA will get my membership cancellation tomorrow.
