I'm not OK with Reid. But I'm person, not a single issue organization. But as a single issue organization, the NRA needs to be careful not to be just another partisan organization. That's not screwing themselves, it's at the core of their effectiveness. If every Democrat pol knew the NRA would oppose them no matter how they personally vote, they would have zero influence on any Democrat. That might make conservative NRA members feel good, but it would make the NRA as irrelevant as the GOA.

As for Keagan, the NRA opposes her. But in fact her confirmation won't change the balance of the court, since Stevens is just as bad.

Where we differ is that it is not ok with me that the NRA would endorse anyone who would undermine our 2nd Ammendment rights, no matter what form; and doing a shoulder shrug and looking the other way on Keagan because the immediate balance of power in the Court will “apparently” not be affected is poor policy for the NRA.

Politics is a rough game and the NRA had better consider the results to their membership numbers if they endorse Reid...Reid is an anti-American, anti-freedom and liberty SOB and the NRA had better carefully consider membership outrage should they decide to endorse Reid.
