You guys really so sure I wouldn't bet my ass on it.
Agreed. If Reid decides he has actively sucked the public teat long enough and is ready to go passive, it's a done deal. The only thing that keeps him "pro" is his power hunger.
One thing I like about the NRA is that tho they are single-issue, they are pretty honest in their ratings. It is up to us to balance things out.
Some decry "litmus test", but I have one myself, not just limited to the 2nd Amendment:
If a candidate has not read the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, does not understand it, cannot support it in it's entirety as written and meant(whether the 1st, 2nd, or 10th Amendments, etc), then I cannot give him my vote.
Colin Powell, whom I admire greatly, will never get my vote for dog-catcher as long as he believes firearms should be restricted to the military and police. A prime example of RINO in a couple other respects, also. A great man, but not one I want making laws.
