that's pretty much bipartisan to them - "everybody does it" Or, in this case, "they donate to everybody"

I suspect those Democrats have been referred to as "DINO" on occasion.

Perhaps the NRA started as a bipartisan organization decades ago, but it has been a mouthpiece and blank check for the Republican party for years. That became crystal clear during President Obama's administration (if not before). If you contribute to the NRA you are funding Republicans like Roy Moore, Tom Coburn and others of their ilk.

according to 46% of idiots that don't bother voting and 25% of idiots that vote for the GOP and the 5% of the idiots that grudgingly vote for the democratic candidate.

he was obviously a dem, and a strong union member, but he was also an nra wet dream

member
gun safety instructor
certified all the ways possible a person could be by the nra

so he ran against a gop clown who i swear would have trouble telling you which end of a rifle the bullet came out

long story short...nra endorsed and supported the gop slime....
i had warned him that would happen but he was still shocked.
Even with his very extensive nra resume they did not even consider him.

Dale took it as a personal insult which it obviously was and cut off the nra cold turkey

politics are interesting
