If they NRA always endorsed only Pubs, they would just be another Republican group. They would lose all their clout, and a lot of members. Their power comes from the fact that politicans know they have influence on independents and “bitter clinger” Democrats who care about gun rights, who are the very folks that decide elections.

My guess is they hedge their bets, and won’t endorse anyone.

OK, then tell reid: “Harry, if you vote against Kagan and do all you can to keep her off the Court (and do the same with the next anti-2nd Amend. nut job obama sends over) then the NRA will not endorse your opponent in this election. Otherwise, we are going to help defeat you. Deal?”

Naw, the NRA knows Harry is Hussein's boy and every S.C. judge we get under obama will be anti-gun. They also know 4 out of 9 justices just voted that the 2nd Amend. SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST. I have no prob with an occassional kudo by the NRA to a dim who truly is pro-gun (rare as hell), but to not vigorously support the opponent of POS reid shows stupidity or arrogance. I'm done.

That’s true and I’ll go one step further. If the NRA refused to endorse any democrat despite their voting record, we would have a new assault weapons ban right now. The democrats had a supermmajority and the presidency for 2 years and they wouldn’t touch gun control.

Let the NRA look after their issue, the 2nd amendment, and we can all make our own choices about who to vote for based on the whole picture. For the record, I hope Reid goes down in defeat.
