Edwards was allowed to vote the NRA position on legislation that was going to pass with or without his vote to help keep the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives.
If the GOP had solid control over the House, I could see this endorsement; but not now.
And how did this guy vote on TARP?
To: SeaHawkFan
TARP is not part of the NRA’s politics, and the NRA is not an arm of the GOP (or vice versa). It is NRA policy to always endorse the incumbent if he has been sufficiently “gun-owner friendly” during his recent terms.
Moreover, if they stopped doing so, it might be ammunition to force a change their non-profit status.
I don't agree with this, but I understand it.
