NRA shies from all-out fight on Sotomayor

THE HILL ^ | 07/18/09 | Alexander Bolton

It’s a forgone conclusion that she will be confirmed. The Republicans lack the cojones (Ask a wise Latina for a translation) to stop her. Thus one day, NRA lawyers will be arguing cases in front of her. There’s no value having her more pissed off at the NRA than she already is.

[Sarajevo]

NRA are now political wonks. Gun Owners of America are the ones to support.

I seriously doubt you talked to real NRA members. You probably talked to one of those who thinks his mailbox was lined with a minefield becuase he complains of a few letters.

[Shooter 2.5]

Thanks for the laugh. You’re complaining the NRA doesn’t do enough and you sited a group which has never done a single thing on their own.

Laughable.

[Shooter 2.5]

That’s only the opinion of a non-member such as yourself. Go sit in the corner, the adults have work to do.

goa = AWOL

Au contraire. GOA did a fine job of stabbing Fred Thompson in the back during the primaries - and they did it all on their own. Maybe it didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things, but GOA's nonsensical claims that Fred voted "for gun control" ended up being used by Huckabee.

I'm trying to figure out why you put me in this to list where you defend the NRA. I agree with you and have defended the NRA many times on this board from GOA do nothing lovers.

Teh first poster was the attacker and the first person I thought of that’s a good NRA member was you. I thought I could use a little help with the do nothing haters. Thanks for all your support for the NRA.

[Shooter 2.5]

Making up lies again? You sound like you should be on DU with the antigunnners.

The NRA has been fighting the U.N. against global small arms disarmament as an NGO.

goa = AWOL again.

[editor-surveyor]

Apparently, you cannot read?

[Shooter 2.5]

They interviewed two people for this article. One was the NRA hating larry pratt from the AWOL goa.

More divide and conquer from the leftist media.

[Trod Upon]

Where did I criticize the NRA? That’s right, I didn’t. I’m actually a member and plan to renew. I simply suggested an alternative for those who have a problem with the NRA. I’d rather people be involved in some pro-2A organization than none. Get a grip.

We don’t have the votes to stop the vote so everything is just posturing

[Pistolshot]

This vote will tell us who to target for 2010/2012 elections. Use the heavy artillery for when it will really counts.

The NRA is smart enough to not waste capital on Sotmayor. It is a forgone conclusion that the Dhims will confirm her no matter what. Fight the fights you can win, not the ones you lose in vain.

"the first person I thought of that’s a good NRA member was you. I thought I could use a little help with the do nothing haters. Thanks for all your support for the NRA."

Okay, I understand now. You had me puzzled there for a second!!

[Shooter 2.5]

Sorry. The goa members can’t stop their hatred for the NRA and thanks for your support of the NRA.

I wouldn’t bother sending anyone to the goa. They don’t have a track record and the Second Amendment Foundation has lawsuits based on Heller.
