Those who are familiar with this site will recall that the National Rifle Association (NRA) has been on the Seeing Red AZ blogroll since the inception of this website in June 2007. Take a good hard look, because the link will soon be coming down. Yesterday we posted the endorsements U.S. Senate candidate J. D. Hayworth received from former NRA President Bob Corbin and from the Gun Owners of America. Yet the NRA, which has previously referred to John McCain as “one of the premier flag carriers for the enemies of the second amendment,” inexplicably gave McCain their endorsement. In endorsing Hayworth, the Gun Owners of America (GOA) said: “John McCain has gone out of his way to earn the ire of conservatives and gun owners in his 20-plus years as a U.S. Senator from Arizona.” Watch this GOA ad exposing John McCain’s efforts to constrain our First and Second Amendment Rights. Then read what GOA’s Political Victory Fund says about McCain here. This indefensible approval is akin to the shameful endorsement of McCain by Arizona Right to Life (AZRTL) which resulted in members of the board and PAC leaving the organization and calling the endorsement of McCain an “egregious affront.” AZRTL acknowledged that J.D. Hayworth “had a perfect pro-life voting record during his service in the U.S. House of Representatives,“ but it was evident McCain’s financial support via buying tables at events meant more. ARTL said the determining factors in their endorsement decision were “incumbency and electability,“ both political considerations — neither of which incorporate the fundamental principle of protection of the unborn. And the equally hypocritical NRA? Here is their July 20, 2001 First Freedom magazine cover story and accompanying article titled, What’s Happened to John McCain? The tag-line accompanying the damning photo of him with Democrats Chuck Schumer and Joe Lieberman accuses John McCain of “jeopardizing the freedom of law-abiding gun owners.”

No surprise. The NRA thinks its backing the eventual winner. Just another example of why I dropped my membership back around 89 or 90. Like it or not, barring some really huge meltdown, McCain will win reelection. And of course immediately after he'll drop any pretense of being a 'conservative'.

======================================== No, I don't like it, he won't win it, and yes he would morph back into Lieberman's whore on Novermber 12th (if he won). There is a lot more going on in Arizona squeezing McCain's little ass than SB1070. He's got over two decades of magnificent lying to backpedal out of.
FYI: Juan Hernandez is the same man that arranged private meetings between (then) Gov. George W. Bush and Mexican President Vicent Fox in 1996 in MEXICO CITY. He was also John McCain's chief adviser on Mexican affairs in McCain's last bid for the president, and would have carried over nicely into McCain's amnesty had he won it.
