| NRA endorses President Bush[QUOTE] WASHINGTON (AP) -- The National Rifle Association endorsed President Bush for re-election on Wednesday, promising millions of dollars for ads, phone banks and other get-out-the-vote efforts. "The Supreme Court is going to be crucial to the future of the Second Amendment, and President Bush will appoint justices that respect the Bill of Rights," NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre told The Associated Press in a phone interview before announcing the endorsement at a news conference in Duluth, Minnesota. Bush also supports legislation to protect the firearms industry from lawsuits and opposes centralizing files on gun owners, LaPierre said, calling the difference between Bush and Democrat John Kerry on guns "day and night." LaPierre also planned news conferences in Flint, Michigan; Youngstown, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The gun-rights group's political action committee has already spent roughly $1 million on TV and other advertising opposing Kerry. The NRA plans to spend about $20 million in all, focused on 10 to 15 targeted states, with efforts including radio, television and newspaper ads, phone banks, door-to-door voter contacts, up to 10 million pieces of direct mail and election messages in magazines that go to the group's 4 million members. The pro-Bush spending will be done by the NRA's PAC, which is financed with limited donations from the NRA's members. The campaign law that went into effect this election cycle cut off a major source of past NRA election spending by broadly barring the use of corporate money in any amount and unlimited donations from any source in presidential and congressional races. Kerry's campaign has derided the NRA's leaders as tools of the Republican Party and said they are out of touch with their membership. Kerry says he has been a hunter from childhood and a gun owner who supports the Second Amendment. But he has voted in favor of gun control and has supported extending a now-expired ban on assault-style weapons and requiring background checks at gun shows. He also opposes granting gun makers immunity from civil lawsuits. Kerry has been endorsed by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The gun-control group said Wednesday that it is joining with the Million Mom March to air a TV ad criticizing Bush's failure to press for renewal of the assault-weapons ban. The ad will air in Philadelphia, Cleveland and Miami over the next week, with an initial buy of $100,000, spokesman Peter Hamm said. White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett welcomed the endorsement and said, "The NRA recognizes that President Bush understands that law-abiding citizens have a right to own firearms as well as to put the focus of our anti-crime policies on those who commit crimes with guns."

Please. As if there was ever any question. The GOP has had the NRA in their back pocket for years. It's not like Michael Moore and the likes really embrace them either. Are you seriously surprised? The assault weapons ban has nothing to do with this. Wipe that frown off your face!

Re: NRA endorses President Bush
yep yep yep.
Republicans and NRA go hand in hand. Why one would be suprised of this is a bit odd. Just cos Kerry 'claims' to be a hunter doesn't mean much...
>JM<
from my dead cold hands 
I found the last debate profoundly funny where Kerry claimed to be a hunter. The only thing he ever hunted was his way out of a hole he drove himself into with his left liberal views.

The republican puppet speedracer should learn to stay on the subject of the forum...much like his Idol he pivots the subject to suit his interests. I wanted to hear about the uneducated; being swayed for a group that lobbies for a party, that does NOT hold them in there best interest. I'm tired of the red-neck republican.

| Originally posted by speedracer_mec 3rd: Something we can argue about is the fact that Kerry is a classic opportunist @the debate assault weapons ban discussion)they were talking about the assault weapons ban, and Kerry said the ban should have been renewed, because just last year (while the ban was in effect) he was hunting with some police chief on his belly who had performed a drug raid, and found an AK47 laying on the guys bed, and said now those guns are legal.......I just said WTF you proved your point wrong, if the law was in effect and the bad guy already had the gun it must not be a very freaking good law..... |
