This illustrates why it’s so important for conservative voters not to be endorsement-driven. It is essential that we vote with our heads, not with our “loyalties”.
There’s nothing wrong with supporting the NRA in terms of the lobbying work they do.
But to take their lead in who to vote for... that’s pure folly.
You've got that right. I told the fellow at the NRA that this sort of thing is why I don't donate to their PVF, but only directly to specific candidates. To his credit, the fellow wholeheartedly agreed with me.

Joe, if they were truly apolitical, would they be endorsing anyone? Why lose conservative support by endorsing dems? Vice-versa?
You're swimming against a huge torrent here, man. So many staunch conservatives hold the NRA endorsement in high, precious regard. It's quite understandable if they go ballistic over the NRA's tossing it to a dem who may after all be lying with their record as well as with their words, given the state of "our" dem elected representatives.
