I agree. They endorsed Kagen in the 8th Congressional district. Fortunately, he lost. NRA wants to be a single issue organization, but that isn’t realistic when they endorse statists and collectivists.

Where's the damage to the Second Amendment from endorsing rats? Why do you think there's been no serious gun grabbing since the rats took Congress in Nov. 2006? GWB said he would have signed a renewed so called assault weapons ban. IIRC, 64 rats in the House wrote Holder and told him to pound sand after he started talking about a renewal of a so called assault weapons ban. The NRA didn't endorse any rat senator for the U.S. Senate last month.

I'm in the 8th, and that NRA endorsement really pissed me off. A lot.

Clearly the NRA strategy of endorsing pro-gun incumbents, even if they are Dems has had an upside over the last 4 years. Even though they controled both houses for four years and had an anti-gun president for 2, pro-gun Dems either stopped the gun grabber bills in caucus, voted them down in committee, or refused to bring the bills to the floor for a vote (yes, I do mean Dingy Harry). Is there a downside also? Sure. But look at the bright side: the NRA policy of favoring pro-gun incumbents over pro-gun challengers will now help a whole lot more Republicans, and a lot of them will be TEA Party Pubs at that.
