I would have never started questioning the GOA until they started their attack emails ect directed towards the NRA to me that was BS. If act a year ago I thought about joining them until this attack bs started. Fazak so your going to drop an organization for something so stupid? I went to the NRA site and the headline for the article SAID: Presidential Candidates ASK for NRA Support.
Since every Republcan Candidate was there except Ron Paul that tells me he did not feel it was neccessary to join in. I really doubt the NRA would snub him if he wanted to participate and several of the candidates that could not make it sent taped messages which Ron Paul surely could have done with all that so called money he has made!
NRA members came to hear and question Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), former Senator Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee; in fact, before the end of the Conference, they heard from Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, Representative John Dingell (D-Mich.), former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore, Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senator John Thune (R-S.D.), former Representative Harold Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.), and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. And there were taped messages from California Rep. Duncan Hunter, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.
I think you Ron Paul guys are barking up a wrong tree it looks to me RP did not want to participate or think it did not matter.
