This isn't Hubert Humpries Democrat party.

IMHO the NRA should only endorse candidates when it’s clearly a pro-gun vs. anti-gun candidate. If both candidates are pro-gun, just give us the ratings and the reasons for them, and let the members decide.

The NRA is a coveted endorsement in Montana. The Jon Tester/Denny Rehberg race is a key one in a state whose residents are conservative in most issues but also value seniority and tend to reelect incumbents.

I think the NRA should not “endorse” ANY candidate. It is fine with me to give the ratings and the “skinny” on gun grabbers. They endorsed Ton Periello (D)in Va in 2010, who lost to Robert Hurt (R). Periello would have sold his soul to Obama. I called the NRA and raised hell with them but it was a wasted call. I canceled my subscription.

Maybe Tester can ask Harry Reid for some help getting a pork barrel grant for a gun range. It bought NRA’s endorsement of Reid. Should do the trick for Tester too.

The NRA supports candidates who pay lip service to the 2nd Amendment while spending their time in D.C. turning the country into a socialist mess.

If Reid, Tester, and their ilk were truly pro-Second Amendment, they would be calling for Eric Holder’s resignation after the “Fast and Furious” scandal, a botched operation that was intended by the Obama Administration as an excuse to curtail “assault weapons” to “prevent violence.”

That 'A' rating from the NRA is probably from the last time the NRA rated Tester.

With Tester's vote to confirm Holder, Sotomayor and Kagan, and with Rehberg's A+, this should be a no-brainer for the NRA.
