Is there any valid reason for the NRA to possibly endorse Harry Reid over Sharron Angle ? Other than that a tossed steak is good?
Posted by kotang at 6:56 AMOne fine mess this is.
I voted for Bart Gordon (D), TN 6th District Representative, for over a decade, largely because the NRA endorsed him; he was deemed OK because his moderate 2nd Amendment stances weren't actively anti-gun. I also voted for Albert Gore (D) for US Senator from Tennessee for the same reasons. They, during that 'blue dog' Democrat period were, using the thin sliver of one single facet of political judgment, deemed acceptable enough for the NRA, and therefore for me.
But times have drastically changed.
We cannot continue to support these obviously deeply flawed candidates just because they (maybe in pretense) don't support (for the moment) the anti-gun agenda; support them just because they aren't 'right now' pushing for immediate Gun Control. So what if they seem OK, right now?
Gun Control is a party plank of the Democrat party; just read the NYT or the Chicago Tribune to see these 'real' Democrats wailing for complete gun bans. Flaming leftists like Illinois' Dick Durbin and New York's Chuck Schumer would seize your gun rights in a heartbeat, were they allowed to do so.
We at the NRA must open up our endorsement screening processes to factor in the wider anti-gun, pro-left agendas that now dominate the American failure that is the Democrat Party.
How about starting right now?
You, we, the NRA, must get with the reality that is the new America: Democrats are now far-left, and are the enemy of free peoples.
Seems that we can't ever support Democrats anymore, for any reason whatsoever. They have become The Enemy of Free Peoples; they are now on the Dark Side. Harry Reid supports Elena Kagan, who is an anti-gun pro-leftist-agenda Obama-rubber-stamp Supreme Court nominee. How does the NRA's possible endorsement of Harry Reid over Sharron Angle thwart the eventual success of Obama's Kagan nomination?
Just because Reid owns a shotgun, and gave a few thousand dollars to a Nevada trap club, doesn't mean he's your friend. Ever head of throwing a junkyard dog a steak, so you can get by it to steal what it should be protecting? You, the NRA, are the junkyard dog. This offhand 'donation' Reid gave to Nevada trap shooters was an undercooked steak. Reid the thief is now free to rip out parts with impunity whilst you feast on a lame-ass distraction. You will have failed.
Better that you ignore the steak and go for the jugular.
NRA, it's time you stopped straddling the fence and supporting Democrats. You cannot with any real conviction convince me, a lifetime NRA member, that your endorsement of Harry Reid is the correct choice. You must factor in his other 'qualities', mostly the fact that Reid, one of the leaders of the new far-left Democrat party, is now your, our, enemy. To endorse Harry Reid seems more like accepting that tossed steak, rather than making a calculated, correct decision.
Let me add this:
If you, the NRA-ILA, find your way to support and endorse Harry Reid over Sharron Angle, you will lose my membership. Period. End of story.
That is all.
