Poll: NRA endorsement of candidates carries most weight

Posted by David Hardy · 18 December 2007 11:07 AM

Story here, from a Chinese source. For some strange reason, other media seem to be ignoring it.

The poll asked whether likely voters would be swayed by various endorsements. The conclusion:

By NRA: 27%

By Bill Clinton: 25%

By G. W. Bush: 23%

By AFL-CIO: 16%

By Oprah: 9%

By Barbra Streisand: 4%

Maybe a better link to original press release:

This means nothing since the NRA only endorses candidates who they think will win.

If an "A" rated candidate is up against a "F" rated candidate who is a sure thing, the NRA will decline to endorse the "A" candidate.

On the other hand, they'll endorse a "C" candidate who is unopposed every time.

The Swift Boat Veterans were helpful. I also look at who the La Raza Council (spanish for the race) endorses or who your far left public employee union endorses and make sure NOT to vote for that candidate.

The ChiComs have been funnelling a lot of money to the Clintons. Who do you think they want? An NRA endorsed candidate. Al Queda and their allies the Democrat Party would also probably go with Clinton or Obama.

Do you believe the Second Amendment is an inherent human right?

Then how about a Human Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that fortifies the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights?

Then I need your help with my PRIVATE BILL in Congress:

"By NRA: 27%"

Then I suppose Romney is our next President!

NRA VICE PRESIDENT ENDORSES ANTI-GUN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.

"On the major issues, Romney is 'right on,' " David Keene said.

actually, didn't Romney just get busted for fabricating an NRA endorsement?

I think if the NRA endorses anyone, it will be Fred Thompson.

The NRA is by far the biggest lobby on our side however they lean too much (any is too much) toward the sporting side of the second ammendment. They are better then nothing but not good enough.
