Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) has reversed course and will allow a tough gun bill to be introduced in the Senate.Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) has reversed course and will allow a tough gun bill to be introduced in the Senate.
In 2010 the NRA backed Reid in a close election because they said he had an “A” rating, always defending the right to bear arms. I thought this was a very very bad mistake, as Reid is also a very partisan liberal Democrat, which generally means you can’t trust him on any conservative issue. Lo and behold, we now learn you can’t trust him on this conservative issue.
Had the NRA put its support behind Reid’s challenger, that challenger would have had a much better chance at winning. They did not, and here we are. Thank you, NRA.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Not sure the NRA throwing its support behind Angle would have made a difference but that doesn’t mean they have to support people like Reid who will turn as soon as a safe enough opportunity presents itself.
The ratings they give are for past performance.
They can not read the mind of the candidates and tell who will change their mind.
And they do not make the rating off of campaign promises.
If the NRA’s rating changed your vote then the contest was close even in your mind.
Even though its not hard to see that a democrat will 99% of the time back his party over his convictions and never hold themselves to their campaign promises.
Read the NRA’s history, this is nothing new. They’ve supported lousy pols over and over, and gun regulations over the years too.
There are much better gun rights organizations to support then the NRA.
