Dems & the NRA [View all] Kaleva Jun 2012 OP

I'd vote for an NRA-endorsed Dem over a Republican every time. DanTex Jun 2012 #1

McDowell has a very strong pro-union record. He's endorsed by the AFL-CIO Kaleva Jun 2012 #3

In a primary, though, an NRA endorsement would be a negative for me. DanTex Jun 2012 #18

Which is certainly fine as that is what primaries are for. Kaleva Jun 2012 #19
