NRA Endorses Embattled Dem Carney

The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund has endorsed on-the-ropes incumbent Democrat Chris Carney in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District over Republican challenger Tom Marino, who is also a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment and who, unlike Carney, has never voted for Nancy Pelosi to lead the House of Representatives.

Ping.

How many Dems are the NRA going to endorse before the members wake the hell up?

[GunningForTheBuddha]

Proves that the Harry Reid flap taught them nothing.

[DM1]

this is why i told the NRA politely off when they called for me to renew my membership
i told them i could not in good conscious be a member while they endorsed Dems who vote for Pelosi as Speaker
he didnt know what to say

[bestintxas]

I have given NRA the last dollar I will ever give them.

Have they become infiltrated by mindless Obama-ites?

[longtermmemmory]

NRA = old politics

Again???

When are people going to realize that the NRA is NOT affiliated with any political party? They back whoever they see as the most pro-gun candidate, period.

Like toying with backing Harry Reid, right?

[Frantzie]

Most NRA members are not dumb. I quit them because they are getting liberal.

Look all the idiots who watch TV and ALL the TV networks including Fox support Obama and is*am. Fox is 7% owned by the Saudis. ALL TV sucks yet the sheeple keep watching. Stupid dhimini sheep.

And that's fine, if say a pro-2A Dem was going against a gun-grabbing Pub.

But how they even think to say that a pro-2A claiming Dem who votes for Pelosi as Speaker is more pro gun than a pro-2A Pub who would not?

Dear NRA(from a LIFE MEMBER),Please stop being a ONE ISSUE ADVOCACY!If there is a”D” behind their name,WE vote for the one with the”R”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to report my experience of the Marino campaign. I sent half a dozen people to sign up for campaign volunteer duty of various types, and not one has gotten any response whatsoever from the campaign. It appears that Marino only knows how to sign donation checks. He won’t be getting another from me.

I have switched all my sports fan stuff to AM Radio and use netflix instant to watch tv shows and movies. I hate cable tv and the “network” news... the Onion has just as many newsworthy stories!

[Rational Thought]

Carney is just as pro-gun as he was pro-life.....

[rockrr]

I ran into this with a different candidate. I don’t believe that it is the candidate himself but rather either the campaign manager or the field coordinator that is repeatedly dropping the ball. Either way they are just damaging their own prospects.

I won’t say that I will no longer support him, but my support is tepid at best now.

[Ingtar]

The NRA is now dead to me.

[panaxanax]

I sent them my card and peeled the sticker off my truck last month. I’m done with them after being a faithful member for over 40 years.

True, or supposedly so. However, I would like to see them consider the larger picture.

The 2nd Ammendment position of each candidate is important but so are other factors that may come into play with their election.

Examples:

• Which party is currently in the majority

• How will the election of a specific candidate affect the majority/minority ratio

• Will the election of a democrat over a republican be more likely to keep a rabid anti-gun liberal as the Speaker of the House? And would the election of the republican more possibly lead to a Speaker more favorable to the 2nd Ammendment?
