Even the NRA is turning on Bush

[thatsrightimirish]

Hell is freezing over

"SEATTLE -- After years of close association with the Republican Party and hard-nosed opposition to federal land-use regulation, the National Rifle Association is being pressured by its membership to distance itself from President Bush's energy policies that have opened more public land for oil and gas drilling and limited access to hunters and anglers."

Wow. Just wow.

:wow:

2. W's policies are extreme. He is not a friend of the U.S.

nor it's environment. He's world corporate king and the stupid bushbots didn't have the common sense to recognize that.

3. A lot of hunters are for conservation...

I just hope the Dems are willing to pick up this cue and move in to get these guys in red states.

4. Even conservative Idahoans are considering stopping

the canned hunts. Shooting tame animals shouldn't be considered a sport. It's an act of cowardice.

But then Cheney never defended our country and showed any bravery.

6. Yeah, then there's Cheney hunting pet bunnies in his back yard.

I don't even know what to call that. He probably doesn't even eat the meat, either...

5. Well, you know, global warming and all

:)

Hell freezing over in this instance is a very, very good thing!

7. oh, this is so RICH!

maybe the NRA will ratchet up its support for Bernie Sanders with money they take away from the Republicans( oh, the irony. BTW, Bernie gets a 100 rating from the NRA. He's one well-armed Socialist).

[pinniped]

8. Those dumbasses would vote for him no matter what.

9. Perhaps They Finally Realized

That a pResident that thinks he is a dictator is the most likely to disarm them.

10. that article also says something that makes me want to say too fucking bad

"We find that our members are having a harder time finding access to public land," said Schmeits, who recently pushed the NRA to lobby for congressional protection of the game-rich Valle Vidal forest on federal land in New Mexico. "

there is a part of me--a gut reaction--that wants to say too bad--you shouldn't be killing anyway!
