They're experts at playing the political odds. With all gun factors being equal, back the incumbent because if you don't and the odds are that he'll win again he might vent his anger on your cause.

Interesting, because I quit the NRA for the very reason that they support RINOs; and DIMS.

That's absurd. The NRA gives money to candidates, they don't get money from them.

Every election we go through this same thing. The NRA is a single issue organization. They don't care about other issues, unless those issues affect their ability to do their job like McCain-Feingold. Given two candidates with pro-gun records they support the incumbent, because history shows incumbents are far more likely to win. The NRA has been very open about that policy, yet the same people here always post offended messages to the effect of "that does it, I'm never giving them another dime". I think some folks here have "quit" giving them money about 100 times, if they ever gave any at all, which I doubt.

If you don't like that policy, there is a solution. The NRA is a grass roots organization. The leaders are elected by the members. Get involved, go to your local Members' Council meetings, and vote people who share your opinion into the Board of Directors. Or bitch on an online forum and feel self righteous.
