NRA assimilated by the Borg

First it's the DISCLOSE act, in which the NRA capitulated to the Democrats because they carved out an exception for themselves. For ordinary American citizens, this new bill will forbid campaigning unless they are backed by a union sized group. Free speech for me but not for thee?

The National Rifle Association and its supporters are pushing back against conservatives who have accused the NRA of selling out to the left. The NRA worked with Democrats to carve out an exception from a new anti-free speech piece of legislation.

As the Wall Street Journal notes, “Under the NRA carve-out in the House bill, the new rules won’t apply to any organizations that have been around for more than 10 years, have more than a million members and receive less than 15% of their funding from corporate donors. That fits the NRA nicely, though as best we can figure, everyone else, from the Sierra Club to Planned Parenthood, fails to qualify.”

  Then there was the abominable endorsement of Ted Strickland over John Kasich. Why? Apparently some people in the NRA won't forget that Kasich went along with a Clinton era ban of large weapons. I forget where I read that but will try to locate it.

Strickland has earned high marks from the NRA, but Kasich's reputation on gun rights was badly damaged by his vote for the 1994 Clinton assault weapons ban.

  Now HARRY REID??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? AARP, the AMA, now the NRA are all bought off with the right price? 
  You might ask yourself, what's MY price? I'd say my price is dumping an NRA membership. HARRY REID?????

Multiple sources tell me the National Rifle Association is planning to endorse liberal Harry Reid against pro-gun champion Sharron Angle.

Two weeks ago, I told you about the carveout the NRA received in exchange for their support for the DISCLOSE ACT deal.

Then this week, RedState broke the story of the “gag order” the NRA issued to members of its Board on the Kagan nomination.

Now, I’m getting credible reports that the NRA is leaning toward endorsing Harry Reid, even though the NRA is finally saying it will score a vote on Kagan — something that was not a sure thing.
