NRA dumb endorsements

Like I've said in the past, the NRA loses credibility when it does not look at the big picture with it's endorsements.

Just got a post card and my "American Rifleman" magazine from the NRA.

The Rob Portman and Ted Strickland endorsements make sense. However, the Charlie Wilson endorsement does not.

Portman is running against one of the biggest anti-gun democrat ever. Lee Fisher was actually on Handgun Control Inc's board.

Strickland is and has been pro-gun since his first stint in Congress. He has not changed his position. Kasich voted to ban semi-automatic guns. so, this endorsement also makes sense.

The Charlie Wilson endorsement is the one I have an issue with. Yes, Charlie has not voted to restrict our 2nd amendment rights. However, he does vote for and support other democrats that do. For instance, he votes to have Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House. She is an anti-gun freak from San Fransisco. How is that helping the NRA's mission?

Bill Johnson (running against Wilson) is also pro-gun. There should be no endorsement in this race. The policy of supporting and campaigning for pro-gun incumbents, against other pro-gun candidates is a waste of time and is surely a waste of money. Since, in these cases, no matter who wins, the NRA gets a gun friendly congressman.

Buckeye Firearms Association just as short sighted as the NRA

Why do neither the NRA or the Buckeye Firearms Association care that Zack Space just endorsed Lee Fisher for US Senate? Fisher being a past board member of Handgun Control Incorporated????

What am I missing here?

NRA and their ill conceived endorsements

Who wants to wager that the NRA will endorse Zach Space for Congress in 2010?

What always gets me about the NRA and their short sighted endorsements is this:

Look at who Zach Space endorses and supports, Lee Fisher. Sarah Brady's evil twin, the most anti-gun politician Ohio has ever had.

Yet the NRA can't stop loving on this guy. Seems like they are missing the big picture here....same with Comrade Charlie Wilson.

Comrade Charlie endorses Fisher for Senate

Regarding Wilson’s support, Fisher said: “Congressman Wilson and I have worked together to revitalize the economy of eastern Ohio, and I am grateful for his endorsement.”

Right, we don't need any more of your "revitalization". What we need are jobs, not words, higher inflation and more spending.

A point to the NRA and their endorsements of Comrade Wilson, here he is endorsing one of the most anti-gun politicians in the nation, are you still going to support him? Look at who he supports!
