The NRA is, "incumbent friendly"
« on: October 06, 2010, 07:28:43 PM »
I know we talked about this some awhile back when it envolved Harry Reid. This article says the NRA is endorsing 14 incumbent Democrats.

I think some of the comments on this page are interesting. Especially the ones about dumping the NRA for GOA.

they quit getting money from me a few years ago. I didn't like their direction then, and it doesn't appear to have changed any.Them and aarp seem to be on the same side anymore.

NRA membership is a required in order to be a member of the gun club I belong to. If it were not the case I would tell the NRA to go screw.

I cant abide by them endorsing ANY democrat considering the party's track record on 2nd amendment issues. Its only a matter of time before a "pro 2nd amendment" democrat politician will turn on you in order to advance their career.
Hi NSA! Can you see how many fingers I am holding up?

I have been GOC [parent of the GOA] for many years and I believe it to be worthwhile. I keep them listed in my banks 'bill payer' list and inject cash as it becomes available. They have been swimming upstream here in CA but they are swimming.
