Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire NRA endorses McCain over Hayworth?

McCain is electable in Nov, JD is not. The NRA, as much as I dislike it, got this one right.

Well, now did you all notice in the latest issue of the Rifleman magazine old Harry Reid gummin it up with the NRA Kahunas at some new range in Nevada? Yeah there was old Dingy Harry just suckin up all that praise and cutting ribbons on that celestial range He earmarked to to us peons.

So would you vote for him? I sure as hell wouldn't

I loathe how it's tossed around that "you're not dealing like the big boys if you don't compromise your principles"


when I was a kid the big boys I admired didn't compromise on much of anything. They stood their ground.

IMO we've become mostly a nation of bedwetters, we've got to give to get.

believe that's how we ended up at this juncture, good folks compromising. YMMV

================

I have.

The NRA used to endorse Arlan Spector for years also. Pro or anti 2nd amendment, he didn't care. As long as they dangled the contributions in front of his nose to get re elected, that was his position.

This is exactly why the Tea Party is going to fizzle. Some of y'all are astounding. You're going to let the NRA money-grubbers talk you into voting for a proven dickweasel again. Then there will be all the high-fives and obligatory reach-arounds after McClown wins. Then six months down the road when he gets his Domestic Terror bill passed where they can detain you as an American citizen, someplace like Gitmo and waterboard your asss because they deem you a "terrorist", you'll wonder who elected this assclown.

This is exactly why we keep circling the drain. Democrats push their agenda. Their idea of compromise is you giving something of yours up and them taking it. The Republican idea of compromise is the same thing. Us giving something up and the commies taking it. You can't compromise inalienable rights.

Cole, I think you got it exactly right.
Stand by your conviction win or loose. This is why I belong to GOA (NO COMPROMISE) as well as the NRA, though my NRA support is waning due to this sort of stuff and Im a NRA certified RSO.

Cole...speak to the voting population of Arizona. It's their election!

Amen brother!

Just because some one says that person "A" is more electable than person "B" doesn't make it so unless you "the voter" believe it and are given no other choise. You can always write in your vote.

Unless "winning" is more important to you than voting your beliefs.

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is insanity."

So is losing to the dem candidate.

The only reason you lose is because Palin and the NRA endorsed the big money/commie-lite candidate.

If that were the case, then you should expect Hayworth's polling numbers to shoot upwards between now and the primary,right? Remember, I already posted my feeling that hayworth was a worthy candidate and he had a good shot at winning the primary. I also think he cold beat the dem candidate. As of now; however, the voting population of Arizona seems content in having McCain continue. I simply stated that with the NRA's and Palin's endorsement, Hayworth had some serious headwinds ahead of him.

See what Rasmussen has as the polling numbers for each GOP candidate versus the dem candidate. Therein may lie some of the reasoning.

Thge real issue might become what the pouters and moaners will do with their vote if their GOP Arizona wish doesn't materialize.

McLame is a disgrace.

If he were a "true patriot" as he tries to paint himself, he'd step his old, tired, sell-out ass out of the race to do the best thing for AZ and America.

I don't know much about Arizona politics. Can somebody please tell me why JD Hayworth is unelectable?

I've never been a John McCain fan but did vote for him for President, simply because he'd be better than what we've got.

That's disappointing. GOA is a much more principled outfit.

On that note, the WaPo is reporting that Harry Reid is now favored for reelection because the flake who managed to win the GOP primary has so much loony material in her background and platform that Dingy Harry will be able to pull it out.

I guess that's what you call standing for principle, if your priciple is to reelect Harry.

Yep.
McCain is a slippery SOB as this immigrant stuff makes clear.
I still support the NRA, but damn, I wish they wouldn't have endorsed him.

Something is very seriously skewed with the NRA leadership if they're endorsing McCain over *anybody*.

He has proven to be a bigger threat to the 2nd amendment than the vast majority of democrats in congress.

Is the NRA now the "Judas goat" leading the sheep to slaughter?

It sure seems that way.

If you single out just one member of Congress who symbolizes all that is wrong with the Republican party, it would *have* to be McCain.
