They backed Reid instead of the Republican challenger, Sharon Angle (sp)

The NRA backs the candidate with the highest pro gun rating. Some win and some don't. Is the NRA responsible for the defeat of those they support that don't win?

“The NRA backs the candidate with the highest pro gun rating. Some win and some don’t.”

Ok, let’s do away with this bogus claim once and for all...the Harry was really a hight rating for pro-gun legislation.

They were able to claim that because his opponent did not have a Senate voting record because she had not been in the Senate. They backed him because he was Sen. Majority leader and likely to win, in their view. Lobbyist are always defaulting to “back the incumbant”. And they knew very well that when it comes to gun control, Harry WILL cave and we’ll be stuck with muskets before it is all over.
