From the linked article:
It was cautious about breaking that pattern..."
And therein lies the problem: the NRA... the N-freaking-RA... one of the most powerful lobby's in DC... BLINKED. The anti-gunners smelled blood in the water, and now the NRA is about to be castrated by the media as "ineffective." See what happens when you try to play "nice"...?
Asked whether he was worried about ruining his perfect NRA score and endorsement by opting to vote for Sotomayor, Nelson paused and said with a smile, "I'd probably have a good rating regardless."
Smile when I do everything I can to ruin your next election, Ben. I don't give a rat's hind end what your "rating" is... I WILL get involved with whoever is running against you and donate time and money to get your sorry @ss out of DC if you vote to approve Sotomayor.
But it stopped short of saying it would include the vote on her confirmation in its political ratings.
Why the hell not?!?!?! THIS IS THE PROBLEM, PEOPLE! The NRA is playing "nice," when the Dems are playing for keeps. After all these years of playing hardball, they've finally fallen into the DC "let's just all get along so we all get invited to the right parties" mentality.
In the days since, other senators have inquired privately as to how much they could hurt themselves by supporting Sotomayor, only to be given an ambiguous answer: It's too early to tell.
HEY NRA!!!! I'm not paying your membership fees so you can be cute. Lay down the law like you used to: a "yes" vote is going to hurt you. Period."
Good Lord, is LaPierre paying attention to what his people are saying? This woman is a MAJOR THREAT to 2nd Amendment rights!

Well, let's hope the NRA backs up its threats and these turncoats get booted out next election (assuming there's someone better running against them).
