Read my post 31 to Gator113 for the first assertion. As for the second one, the VP of the NRA talking about Mitt Romney does not automatically extend to the whole NRA. Don't cast aspersions on the NRA for one statemet by a VP. I'm not going to cast aspersions on FreeRepublic or think badly of them because a few freepers may be idiots, right? You should follow the same logic with the NRA.

Fair enough. So, I read the Newsmax.com interview with NRA president (not VP) David Keene. Although Keen doesn't state that his views are those of the NRA, the fact that he heads the gun owners organization and doesn't separate his comments from the NRA, implies that they do. This cannot be ignored. When a non-member of the NRA reads an interview with the new president of the organization and he rhapsodizes about Romney's attributes, that seems like a tacit, if not 'official' endorsement to me.

I don't wish to denigrate the NRA. However, if members like you disagree with what the president of your group is putting out there, you might want to make that known to him.

Oh, I'm sure it will be. Just like last year when the rumours abounded about them possibly endorsing Reid. I know there were people in the higher ups that wanted to endorse him, but pressure from the membership prevented it. I didn't know that Keene was the one who replaced Schmeits. He just got elected at the beginning of May. That's my fault for me not being up to date on who replaced Schmeits.
