I am so sick of this mentally-challenged McCain/Palin ticket that I cannot take it anymore. When they will finally shut up? They will grab support from anybody including their ‘fellow prisoners’. What a disguising and desperate pair of losers!

Y|To Vegas Barbie!

I will dance on the street in the Netherlands on 5 nov.
What a day of joy it wil be not only for the Americans
but for the whole world. He realy gives me hope for
a better world.
My expectations of Barack Obama are very high and I
know he will not disapoint us all.

With love from The Netherlands

Well, Duh...

Steve from New Braunfels- you do realize the Dems don't believe that the 2nd amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms, don't you?

It's much easier for Obama to tell us what comeercials we can have on TV when the populace is defenseless and cannot repulse a tyranical government. How quickly people forget history, or else think 'it will never happen here.' Scary that people are so naive; thank God or founding fathers weren't that naive and were foresightful enough to protect us against our own stupidity.

Well now, there's a shocker!

Is this news. NRA always endorses a republican.
Boy all we need with McCain with a gun during a temper tantrum.

The story isn't that the NRA endorsed a Republican ticket. The story is that it took until October to do it.

I am so tired of waiting to Vote I just requested my absentee ballot so I can get it mailed in ASAP.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 I can not fallom how anyone can vote any other way considering all that is at stake.

Like Michelle said, Gifted people must take a stand and use their gifts for the Greater Good. I know how inspired Obama has made me become to get more involved as a Citizen. Neighbors helping Neighbors its the only way to bring this Country forward.

May God Protect Barack Obama and Joe Biden and families from harm of the "radicals" that have firearms and I am not referring to Hunters or true Gun lovers just the crazies that have them to show there Power because they might have little pee pees. May God Keep them Safe and Guide them!!! Amen

So we're supposed to be surprised? I guess we could consider it a positive article for McPalin. Or not. At least the gun ownership (non)debate has been good for the economy at local gun stores. You should see all the panicked people lined up to purchase guns, ammo, hi-cap clips, night vision scopes etc. before Obama "takes them all away" (which he won't).

Geee, now there's a big surprise.

Just as gun manufacturers are shocked and surprised when their automatic weapons are used to kill a whole bunch of people, so too will McCain and Palin profess to be surprised when one of their rabid right-wing nutjobs, incited by the McCain/Palin line of utter bullcookies, tries to take out Senator Obama.

McCain and Palin are the worst excuses for Christians I've ever seen.

Guns is right up there with Gay Marriage as an issue that should concern anyone considering the economy...What good are guns if you can't afford the ammo?

i just cancelled a 23 year membership with the NRA. they are full of liars, now. noone will ever take my guns! and joe and barack have no intentions of doing so. we do need to have some common sense rules to keep these guns out of the hands of lunatics like columbine. too many school shootings!

AMERICANS ARE THE MOST PATRIOTIC PEOPLE ON THE PLANET..
"MCCAIN'S MOTTO OF PUTTING "COUNTRY FIRST " MEANS BEIGN WILLING TO LAY DOWN YOUR LFE FOR OUR GREAT COUNTRY WHICH HE DID. MCCAIN AND GOVERNOR PALIN ARE PRO GUN OWNERSHIP AND ENDORSED BY THE NRA.
CALLING YOURSELF AN NRA MEMEBER AND AGIANST THE REPUBLICAN S IS A DISGRACE TO OUT COUNTRY IF YOU PUT YOU GUN ONERSHIP ABOVE YOUR OWN COUNTRY, AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE. THE BRAVE ARE OUR SOLDIERS IN IRAQ WHO FIGHT, BLEED AND DIE FOR AMERICA AND FOR YOU AND ME AMERICANS. I AM MORE SURPRISED AND DISSAPOINTED TO FIND SUCH AN UNPATRIOTIC PERSON AS YOU

Well this endorsement changes my vote... and such a complete shock too.

Was this really worth reporting? You might also mention the sky is blue.

Noah ...you sir are a blowhard! Mostly an idiot.

Which party has urinated on the constitution again? Oh that's right had to be the psycho liberals.

You and idiots that believe this are certainly supporting "George W. Shrub" and see him as a great president.

I'd like to turn my weapon on the stupid Dems and Liberals on this blog.

Political ticker why is my comment always awaiting moderation. Obama will win this election, so NRA it's ok you that you support the looser. I have to make a comment of Cindy McCain. Cindy you should take some advise from Michelle Obama, instead of attacting people when you know that it was not true. God help us all if you become first lady.

Nothing new here – just as some have rightly pointed out.

John Mcbush/ Sarah Mcpalin believe that the only way to show your patriotism to them(not to America – after all, they talk and act like they and their families are the only true Americans) is by having your self killed in Iraq for the Rebublican Party's(GOP) cause – any thing else is unpatriotic and not worth talking about.
The Gun makers will lose if American's are convinced that keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, the mentally unstable -who take advantage of the freedom to bear arms, deprive other people their most fundamental of all rights...............the right to life!!!!
How many horrific acts have been carried out because of lax laws, laws that practically puts a gun into your hands if you can just show the dollar bills!
The NRA is a cohort of gun manufacturers, the Rebublican Party is the cohort of the NRA – if you ask me, that's birds of same feather flock together!
God bless Israel, God bless America!

Shocking!!!!!!!!

Whooptie DOO!!!

All I want to know is, how can people go on hunting trips if they can't afford gas? How can you afford a gun when you don't have a job? The same Same ole Republican strategy....Gods, Gays and Guns, will not work this year, the stakes are too high!!

I am a gun owing Independent, a majority of my friends are Democrats and we all have guns......No one is even talking about taking guns, besides one must have jobs to buy bullets...OBAMA?BIDEN08

Guns are for hunting and surviving. Asult rifles belong only in the military. I love my shotguns.

Obama 08. Baby

Of course I bet Palin was one of the Girls of the NRA 1986 Calender.

And what's wrong with the NRA endorsing McCain/Palin. It's their right to do so. How about ACORN Endorsing OBLAHMA especially when they are being probed ofn Voter Fraud in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Indiana, Nevada....

As a Consitutional scholar, Senator Obama supports a citizen's right to own a weapon. He also believes that some people give up that right when they commit a crime. If you agree that there are some people who, because of their actions, should not be permitted to own guns, Obama's your guy.

Apparently the NRA disagrees and wishes to put guns in the hands of violent criminals. Otherwise, they'd be endorsing Senator Obama instead of their knee-jerk endorsement of the right winger running against him.

NRA = Not Real Alert

I guess this means that McCain is going to win the election. I didn't see this happening.

Duh!

Mary from Texas –
Have you even read the Constitution? Biden is correct as to the powers of Vice President. For your reference: Article 1 Section 3 Clause 4.

Purpose of negative campaigning is not to get the candidate to vote for the other but to disgust the people enough from voting.

ACORN, hahahah nice try.

How about voter caging?

Only way the GOP can win is for a low voter turnout.

If you take the time to go to Senator Obama's website and access the "Issues" link, you will find Senator Obama's stand on the 2nd amendment. He supports it. He has never went back and forth on this issue just to get votes, he has always supported it. He has also supported jurisdictions that have a high volume of violent crimes committed with guns adding restrictions to prevent this violence. That is not advocating taking guns away from citizens are not supporting the 2nd amendment. Remember, Senator Obama is a constitutional lawyer. What it does mean is he supports proper use of and safety of guns, the same as the NRA. The NRA always supports the republicans so they are twisting Senator Obama's views on the issue to maintain their status quo support.

One [American] car
One House
One Spouse

One Smart Man with One Smart Backup

I'm voting for THAT ONE.

Definition of a 21st Century republican:
Race baiting, hate mongering white guys (and gals) wrapped in an American flag with a bible in one hand, an M-16 in the other moronically chanting "USA, USA" or "drill baby drill" who belong to some finge "christian" cult church and keep their pointed white hoods in the closet…And are gonna vote for the geezer and the princess

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'RE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE NRA HAS ENSORSED THE REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER SAW THIS COMMING.

The NRA endorses a Republican ticket with a wolf-hunting nut as a VP? Shocking.....almost as shocking as the NRA misstating Obama's positions on guns.
So, don't foam at the mouth too much right wingers. Obama will not take away your guns if they are legal. Obama has judgment, a quality that appears to be lacking in McCain and seems to not have been a part of Palin's make-up.

And Tony.....enough with the tired stuff about the Democrats in congress ruining the country. This stuff did not just magically happen in the last 2 years. We have been on this road for a long time. I think Bush was just hoping it would happen to the next guy. 8 years of a Republican president....Republican congress from 1995-2006. Think about it.

"With the economy in shambles and people losing their homes and jobs this shouldn't even be an issue."

James- it's scary that you're willing to sell your freedom a better return on your mutual fund. You are an Obama folower, no doubt.

Personally, I believe being stripped of your Constitutional rights is a pretty big issue.

Who says I don't understand the NRA? The NRA is an organization of paranoid rednecks that twist and manipulate the constitution until it resembles a fun-house mirror, who can't see past their own nose, and who compensate their miniscule reproductive equipment with large caliber bullets. Im not kidding here either. People of lower intelligence feel that guns give them "power" and so when you try to take that away, they kick their blocks across the room and tantrum until they get the attention they need. This whole "Defeat Obama" campaign is really asinine also.

Of course they DId!!!

I would vote for Bush again before I vote for McCain, it is not President Bush fault things are the way they are its the people around him like McCain.

haha – NRA backs a republican? Say it ain't so! : )

You know...

There is a newspaper who has not endorsed a Democratic President in like 70 years who is endorsing Obama.

THAT'S news.

Oh man!! Trouble for Obama! What's next, Cindy McCain is going to endorse John McCain????

ARE YOU KIDDING?? WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG! IT'S LIKE THEY LOOKED AROUND AND JUST REALIZED THAT THEY FORGOT TO ENDORSE HIM AND THOUGHT WE'D BETTER HURRY UP! WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THAT WE WERE EVEN THINKING ABOUT ENDORSING OBAMA!!!

STUPID!

Endorse away. I would rather have a place to live, food on the table, a job and a future for my grandchildren as opposed to having some kind of gun....This isn't the wild wild west anymore people. Get over it.

Who is John McCain? Tom Loeffler, the national finance co-chair for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, resigned from the campaign because of his lobbying ties. His top political adviser, Charlie Black, was the head of a Washington lobbying firm. Black retired from the firm to stay with the campaign. Davis ran a lobbying firm for several years but has said he is on leave from that firm. Regional campaign manager Doug Davenport and Republican convention chief Doug Goodyear departed after acknowledging having represented Burma. Eric Burgeson, who lobbies the federal government on energy issues, left. GOP consultant Craig Shirley parted ways with the campaign because of his ties to stophernow.com, an attack site created to target Sen. Hillary Clinton that is now aimed at Sen. Barack Obama.

Newsflash: "The sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic and the bear still craps in the woods."

I am still waiting to see if they get the KKKs endorsement since they seem to be lining up almost all of their memberships at their rallies.

AK47s for everyone!

Why isn't the media taking about the first dude and his meetings with terrosit who cursed the US and wanted to separate themselves from th e US? Why isn't any one talking about McCain and Shannon, who si currently still incarcerated?Those are the real terrosist! Obam has never been brought up on ethical charges.

Those silly NRA folk – clinging to their guns and religion. Gee, I wonder who ACORN will endorse?

Where the hell do the 277 electoral votes on RealClearPolitics come from? It seems that the "uphill battle" for John McCaine is becoming the Mount Everest or even higher. Does a gun make any differences?

Does he even have an anti gun record. Everything I've heard is that all he would be willing to talk about is taking ak47's from urban gangs and such.
Normal members/owners wouldn't be touched.
So the NRA are full of it.

There's no doubt that Obama is not a friend to gun owners.

It won't only be PA. residents clinging to their guns it will be everyone clinging to their guns. Things will be so bad, you'll need one. People will be robbing to put their children's food on the table.Obama is now in Ohio, I wonder if ACORN is there registering voters. They have already found 1800 illegal ballots, but that's expected. Acorn had a good teacher, OBAMA, that's the way he works. socialism is not a choice for america. MCcain -Palin is for reform and reform is very badly needed. If you want Pelosi and Reed running this country,vote Obama. Obama can not make a decision, he'll have to have somebody else making them, and the ones he'll choose are not good for america. DO YOU WANT AYERS COMING TO THE WHITEHOUSE FOR TEA, AND THEM PLANNING TO BOMB YOUR HOUSE, WHO KNOWS WHO'S NEXT.

If ACORN endorses Obama, it does matter. Because by that he will get hundereds of thousands of Illegal votes, thats a must to win in battle ground states.

Teas Lady...your showing your ingnorance. Every election the NRA starts spouting off how voting Democratic will take away our guns...and it never happens... now this person who goes by the name Texas lady left a comment if they are elected, they will take away our guns...it has never happened and will never happen...get a clue and a brain. I have a gun, although I see no use for semi automatic rifles..I mean really..what do you hunt with that?? Oh no...if I vote democrate, they will take my gun...get real...I am so tired of the undereducated ignorant americans in this country...I can imagine how other countries look at us, when they read the ignorant blogs some people write.

If the NRA supports McCain...Shame on them. This time they would be voting for someone who doesn't have a clue on how to fix this countries Economy. That is unAmerican!

I will hereafter vote against any of the NRA gun policies.

Big whoop. There's a surprise.

Why is this news?

The NRA never endorses anyone other than the Republican candidate.

Must be a slooooooooooooooooooooow day at CNN.

Who cares? The NRA endorsement is probably the ONLY action the McCain ticket has received in the past several months. AND it is just an NRA endorsement. McCain just bow out gracefully, if you have it in you.

The documentary "The McCain-Palin Mob", about pre-rally goings on before a McCain rally recently is a REAL eye-opener. It tells you a great deal about the remaining hardcore McCain hangers on.

With the economy in shambles and people losing their homes and jobs this shouldn't even be an issue. Unfortunately, for millions of people I'm sure it is. McCain had their support the second he picked his moose-killing running mate though so I don't see how this changes the race. If anything, it might help Barack with Independent women.

I am sure everyone is surprised by this endorsement... "who woulda thunk it?!?"....Please...

Obama/Biden '08!

As a Republican and supporter of SOME of the legislation put forth by the NRA, I'm actually extremely pleased to see some NRA members voting their conscience even though I'm no Obama supporter. McCain says "country first", but double talk (instead of straight talk), hypocrisy and lack of integrity is what I'm seeing coming out of him and his people lately.

My son is an avid hunter...and like me...voting for Obama/Biden.

Obama/Biden 08/12

If the Chicago Thugs take over the White House we will be more then “Clinging to our guns!”

With a Weak Economy and a Weak President, those of us living near our borders will be shooting at our enemies who smell our blood and come on in for the final kill.

If I thought this wasn't actually a True possibility I'd LOL!

I can see Tina Fey with a rifle and a six pack of beer. I wanna discuss the real gangsters and thugs of AIG and Lehman about how they robbed from the poor and gave to the rich.

There is no doubt that the McCain camp is posting on CNN to take away from the message Obama is spreading so well.Ours eye's are wide open McCain camp and we do see what you guys are trying to do.....It won't work.You are behind in the polls and are going to lose no matter what kind of trickery you pull,try or say. Your man if you can still call him that is a lost cause.Face the facts and enjoy the ride.

Gee, I am shocked!

Wow, I'm shocked! Never saw this coming!!

Just like I never saw Donald Trump endorsing McCain...does CNN not think we're smart enough to figure some of this out on our own?

Brenda, you're willing to vote for McCain just because he wants and allows guns?! You're willing to put the economy, my son in Iraq, and millions of American's at risk just so you can have your gun? Just goes to show you just how shallow some people are. For the most part, they are all McCain supporters. I'm sorry, but my son, the economy, the future of my grandchildren and millions of American's would prefer not to have a gun if it meant giving up the important things I just mentioned. Grow up!

I'm a gun owner, but the NRA is a bunch of nut jobs. Of course they will endorse their fellow lunatics, McCain & Palin. Did we expect any less?

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! Your idiotic comment is full of B.S.... you automatically believe everything O'Bama's cronies tells you.

Boisepoet October 9th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

No surprise here. They were calling me with lies about Obama months ago. As a gun loving and carrying Idaho Democrat I let my membership lapse a few years ago due to personal financial reasons, but after the lie-laden calls I received I will never ever reinstate it.

Not a surprise when you consider their membership pool, track record and historical origins.

Well did we really expect them to endorse Obama-Biden?

Joe Biden is a staunch supporter of gun rights. Obama isn't going to touch Biden's guns, and Biden would never let Obama touch my guns.

But is that really what we should be worrying about, in this time of severe economic crisis? Obama will help keep my family members employed with the right tax policies and the right stimulus plans to keep the economy humming. That's all I care about right now.

Funny...we own close to 10 guns (mostly inherited, my father was a duck hunter) including shotguns, rifles, and a pistol. We never use them, and never intend to do so. It's also funny that no democrat has ever tried to come take them away from us.

Why do conservative gun owners have such a persecution complex? Why are they so paranoid?? NOBODY IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY!!

Doesn't matter if I own a gun, the only one who is not displaying hatred and trying to get somone killed (MC/Palin), is OBAMA. I always go for integrity, personally.
Remember last summer when Cheney and Huckabee were stumping at a rally for McShameful Loser and what Huckabee told all the members to do?? This is truly appalling.

McSame will try whatever he can to win! HaHa!!

HOW PATHETIC!!

Butter, not guns.

NRA. What a looser. All the members of NRA is not only GOP. You can not represent all the members.

The only question is why did they take so long to do it? Answer is even they aren't sure Palin (one of their members) is qualified

and this should come as a surpise because???

Charles Heston must be dancing in his grave. WHO CARES ABOUT THIS?

No surprise here. They were calling me with lies about Obama months ago. As a gun loving and carrying Idaho Democrat I let my membership lapse a few years ago due to personal financial reasons, but after the lie-laden calls I received I will never ever reinstate it.

As the owner of 4 rifles, a shotgun and a handgun I would never join the NRA. A tunnel visioned agenda like theirs keeps them blind to the fact that they are shooting themselves in the foot on other issues (yes, pun intended).

So screw the NRA and screw McCain/Failin'

Why wasn't my last comment posted? As I stated, I think Obama haters need to do their research on Palin and McCain. McCain and Shannon, who is currently serving time for bombing and shooting.Sure give the guns to the nuts and McCain's hand on the red button!

Im a Gun owning Obama Supporter...

All you Repubs repeat the same stuff over and over again, where's my violin...just like McCain/Palin...Ayers, Acorn, blah, blah. Why don't you either take this time to educate yourself or come up with better/truthful information. I hope you are no Christians ...1) Thou shall not LIE 2) LOVE one another just as I have loved YOU.

Gun nuts great that what we need for this country more nuts getting their hands on guns School shootings, church shootings, employement shootings, great! innocent people die everyday because guns end up in the wrong hands!

Your blaming the wrong people-
We have only be in trouble for less than 2 Years–Exactly since the Congress turned DEmocratic-
Repubs are to blame too-
Remember Bush's approval Rating is just south of 30%–
Congress is less than 20%-Thats PELOSI and REID !!

Be careful

Dont listen to this radical right wing crap.Obama does not want to take your guns away! But he does want more stringent background checks to keep guns out of the hands of criminals! WHICH MAKES SENSE PEOPLE!!! Im a lifelong hunter by the way and i own lots of guns! Am i worried? NOT IN THE LEAST!!!!!

Plus the nra endorsed a nut with a ak47 in his hand, probably a new sport who knows

No kidding? 'McCain-Palin mob' on youtube shows a recent pre-rally portion of a documentary. Now THAT is shocking.

We better enjoy that right while we've got it – the Dems are going to take away the law abiding citizen's guns and ensure that those who don't care have plenty of time to get all the illegal guns they want.

And for those of us who are alone and unprotected – yep the government is going to be able to save us from being raped, robbed and killed.

As Gomer Pyle used to say: "surprise, surprise, surprise!"

Well, the people in the Palin/McCain mob called for the shooting of Obama – that may have tipped the NRA over to McWar because evidently, there is a new customer base!

The NRA is supporting McCain...now that's news! Problem is you not suppose to give guns to crazy people...like McCain, that is at least he goes thru anger management first! Check out You Tube McCain's Anger Issues...the guy's nuts! McCan doesn't smile , he snears!

Correction- let's not insult sportsmen and sportswomen who have the sense to back away from the NRA and support Obama. Didn't mean to leave female gun owners out of my original post. The Democratic tent is big and cozy- everyone is welcome!

Surprise!!!!

Nobody saw this coming... it's a real GAME CHANGER for the election!!

This endorsement has just tipped the scales in favor of McCain now... he will obviously win solely on this endorsement alone because the NRA has SO much power and pull that THEY now decide who does and doesn't win the Presidential Election nowadays!!

I can't wait to see the new polling numbers now that this endorsement made the front page... and the new numbers are?????

McCAIN IS STILL LOSING!!!! HOW CAN THAT BE???

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!! VOTE SMART.... NOT SENILE!!!

Thank God–!!That's right , God !! That they have this blog for all you lunatics who believe what you preach–
Thats why they let you yack on this sight-
You folks are actually entertainment–

The only news here is that the NRA waited so long to make their annoucement. Perhaps even they had doubts about the Eratic One.

Jim in KC..

The only people who don't know Obama's accomplishments and his detailed plans for how the country is bein run (i.e. "change")

ARE THE PEOPLE WHO "DON'T WANT" TO KNOW.

But i give you credit for admitting you would never have voted for Obama anyway. My sense is, you would never vote for a Democrat under any circumstances.

But, I 'do' hope you are well off, financially. Because as I often state; there are only two kinds of republicans.... millionaires..... and suckers.

This news is like the air we breath ... it's so obvious, you don't even think about it. Duh!

I would say "No Big Deal" but what concerns me is if any of the people shouting "terrorist, kill him, treason" feel the NRA's endorsement of McCain / Palin has other opportune meaning.

I own a gun but I don't agree with calling a US Senator a terrorist and raising such issues for people that have a palpable hatred for Barack.

I hope McCain and Palin dial the hate rhetoric back a bit. Many of their supporters seem willing to result to violence rather than have Barack "Hussein" Obama become president.

If something happens to Barack, I will never forgive the Sen. from AZ nor his cheerleader from AK..... and the hatred of America

WOW, what a shokcing turn of events!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palin is a gun toting, wolf shooting, polar bear clubbing, moose hunting danger to the world.

Who better to represent the NRA's values??

I am a gun toting redneck ! I will fight to the death for my right to keep arms ! I will never give up my guns ! I AM VOTING FOR OBAMA-YES OBAMA, why ? because I don't trust the republicans anymore on anything. It will be the republicans that take our guns away not the democrats and they will tell us it's "for our on good". Another reason the republicans would disarm the people is because they are afraid of us and they should be. A just goverment should not fear it's people.

I value freedom. That is why I am voting for Obama.
If John McCain will not allow us to talk with our enemys, we are not free. By the way. Obama only wants to get machine guns out of our cities. Any American would know that makes sense.

I am a Democrat and I will vote for Obama, BUT...

When our founding fathers called for a "well regulated malitia", they were speaking of an armed nation that could be called upon (or simply take up arms) AGAINST a authoritarian state that would seek to relieve us of our liberties. "Armed" AT THAT TIME ment a musket: the same weapon that was used both for hunting & warfare.

We as American's SHOULD be asking questions as to WHY, IF WE ARE SANE, LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, we should not be afforded the same right to arm ourselves as the people who are "supposed to be" enforcing laws (police) and protecting us (the military). The left likes to talk about facisim and authoritarian regemes. Do you REALLY want to be unarmed of and when the police decide WE are the problem? Have you SEEN what the police carry these days: the same hardware as the Marines, people...

I do not hunt. I do not carry a gun. I AM a community organizer, and I HATE the Bush administration.

THAT'S WHY I HAVE A GUN.

Gun owning U.S. Airman for Obama!

Gun nuts always vote against their own interests. John King had showed this in a graphic after the last debate on CNN. There's a county in Northern Ohio (Ashland?) in which most people vote republican (based on guns and abortion). In the past 4 years, a factory closed laying off 4,000 people. Now they're voting for Obama.

Thomas Frank wrote about this in "What's The Matter With Kansas?" People will vote against their own economic interest based on single issues or because they want to have a beer with a candidate. They deserve no sympathy when they lose their jobs.

Wake up people!! Did Clinton take away your guns during his 8 years??

Country first I'm voting for Obama/Biden. I don't want Palin's views she wants to change jews to charistian. What is she talking about? Who put this theory in her mind? Cheny and his advirs may be. Alaska and Arizona is going B-B-B L- L -U-E too.

this just in...the sky is blue!!!

Wow, this news flash is like saying "All the Oceans are filled with water".

Makes no difference as NRA and the lot will not save these losers...

Dear Scott L,

I have thought about it, and Barack is my choice. Why? He wants to make a difference by changing the Bush policies. We have had 8 miserable years, and now it's time to throw the bum out and not invite another bum (McCain) back.

Obama is my choice, Obama is my choice. I can't wait to vote on November 4th. The day could not get here sooner.

Oh, by the way.
Barack sat in a church that preached the gospel. I grew up in a black church and sometimes they were politically incorrect, but so are white churches.

No surprise, but let's not insult those who are gun owners and sportsmen who have the sense to back away from the NRA and support Obama. It's a big tent and we need to welcome people who want in.

not a member of nra, dont have agun and dont like that criminals have guns, and especially teens that buy them off the streets. i do, however, believe in the right to buy one and use it to protect myself if i ever feel the need. got no problem with people having guns for the same reasons. i want to know that i can benefit from this right if i have to so my vote goes to mccain because he believes in constitutional rights where obama does not.

this just in.....the sky is blue!

What a surprise! My friends, patriot McCain knows how to catch Bin Laden and he knows how to fix the economy but he will not tell us and he will keep us "prisoners" until we elect him president so Sarah Palin can subsequently become President and now the NRA is providing Palin/McCain the guns to keep us "prisoners". Seems perfectly consistent

People in the know –realize–OBAMA is a JOKE !!
He knows nothing–
His community ORgainizers ( ACORN ) are responsible for this fraudulent election but I'm sure just like REV. Wright, Tony Resko, Bill Ayers and FR. Flager - he will have an excuse for this too -" I was taken out of context "
Michelle Obama is nowhere to be found - This "strong" woman may be more overbearing than the his campaign would like-

Of course...

Who cares what the NRA thinks. I support the right to own a gun, but let's see...gun vs. putting food on the table now that you're laid off...I think the choice is obvious and the person to elect to make the obvious better is OBAMA!

Hahaha, not surprising. I wonder how significant this endorsement will be in Colorado and Virginia...I know they're red states, but I'd have to imagine that Columbine way back when and Virginia Tech just a few years ago have had to have had some sort of pro-regulatory effect...

Who cares if the NRA supports John McSame,they are just backing a loser.Plus Obama is not going to take you guns rednecks..

what would REALLY be news is if the NRA "ever" endorsed a Democrat. PERIOD.

Why does Camp McCain allow people to shout ugly stuff about Obama? "Kill Him!", for example.

What happens is someone from one of these rallies goes forth and actually tries to shoot Obama?

Would Camp McCain be liable, or part of a conspiracy?

Great. All those with guns, git on the plane to Iraq. Go shoot som'n

Is that not what your votin fer. Go join the young men and women who have to live the reality. See ya. McCain will pay the airfare.!!!!

I'm going to be a gun owner and I will never join the NRA.

hahahahahahahaha....who is the guy on the previous post bragging about having a master's degree in communications......hahahahaha......it took you 6 years to learn how to communicate.

hahahahaha....the whole football team at my school were communications majors....that should tell you all you need to know about bragging about that.

hahahahahaha]

what a joke

BREAKING NEWS:
NRA ENDORSES MCCAIN/PALIN

BREAKING NEWS:
NAACP ENDORSES OBAMA

geez... was this REALLY news?

NRA should have the heads examined for endorsing a person who is clueless and a person who has no clue (dumb and dumber). They should be thinking of the country and McCain and Palin are definately wrong for the country.

Of course the NRA endoses McCain?Palin. Guns only end up in the Black neighborhoods and known crimminals.

Same mentality! Have gun, can kill animals, humans? War – have a big gun can kill also.

BY current DEM political definition all NRA members are now racists.
SO what ARE the black, asian, hispanic and other non-whites members?

Is this any surprise?

NRA would love to see more on campus shoootings, more mall shootings and more innocent lives being lost....

The republican leadership is supporting McCain,
a lot of republicans will support Barack Obama.
The "leadership"of the RNA is supporting McCain,
al lot of his members will support Barack Obama.
Barack Obama is a one in a life time President so,
be proud on that. He will show you something in
the comming years.

But............... you have to keep him safe with all those
guns in your country!

An Obama supporter from the Netherlands.

While I enjoy the spirited debates that a two party system provide, I am been stunned, disheartened and ashamed of the way the McCain campaign has conducted itself. I would have hoped the NRA would see that endorsing a candidate that gives a wink and a nudge to racist, hysterical, xenophobic and religiously intolerant rhetoric diminishes the NRA itself. The NRA would do itself a great service to remember that not all gun owners are Republicans, and not all gun owners think that gun ownership is the most fundamental issue in this country.

Senator McCain, please reclaim your dignity and your honor by denouncing and refusing to approve the disgusting ads that your campaign has put out.

FANTASTIC!!!
Obama is showing very POOR judgement in his selection of VP – Biden did NOT even know the responsibilities of a vice president!!! WHY is the media not eating this up??? Duh – the media is mainly liberal (democratic)!!!!

Mary (Texas) the media is not eating this up because Biden gave the EXACT description of what a VP's job is. Just because Chaney changed it doesn't mean the constitution is wrong.

Try holding that gun of yours with one hand and reading or researching the job of the VP with the other or are you like McCain can't do two things at once.

The NRA is fighting so we can keep our guns.

Trouble is, the finance company just repossessed mine.

Give me an economy where I can at least afford a gun.

Who is John McCain? Who are his friends? S&L felon Charles Keating, convicted of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud, was a close social and personal friend of McCain. Robert Asher, a Republican National Committeeman from Pennsylvania – and a felon convicted on public corruption charges signed on to McCain's campaign in February. Notorious Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy, who at one time plotted to m**der a journalist, has been donating money to McCain for the past decade. Raffaello Follieri (convicted on Sep. 10th, 2008 for conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering) entertained McCain and Rick Davis on his Yacht on McCain's 70th birthday.

I AM A GUN OWNER AND A HUNTER AND I WON'T VOTE FOR MCSAME NO MATTER WHAT THAT RIGHTWING ORGANIZATION SAYS. I LIVE CLOSE TO THEIR WHITTINGTON N.R.A. CENTER IN NEW MEXICO AND THESE PEOPLE ARE SOME SICK PUPPIES.

THE WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY–George W. Bush.

WOW!! I mean, just, WOW!! The 2nd biggest lobby in the country, whose sole agenda is to put a gun into everyone's hands and make this country like the wild west, is supporting the republican ticket??

WOW!!

No surprises here! The Republican way: Gun in one hand, bible in the other. What an oxymoron. Hypocrites!

Nobody cares.

Dispite the fact that Obama clearly doesn't have an agenda targeting guns...
There are very few people that care about this distraction crap when the economy is threatened.

There are bigger issues at hand, and Obama is clearly more able to deal with them then the erratic old man.

Time for PEACE. No need for McCain's military experience!

Any sound minded person would not vote Obama for President. He is friends with a domestic terrorist (Ayers), sat in church for 20 years with anti-american priests (Wright), and will meet unconditionally with our enemies (Iran).

Every time he has to clarify his positions. Wait I wasn't really listening to Wright all those years. Ayers was just my neighbor (even though we wrote stuff together). I never said I would personally meet with leaders, I said the President should. (huh?)

Very scary. Even George Bush with all of his problems, Al Gore, John Kerry, Clinton, nobody can say the 3 things above like Barack Obama can.

Think about it. Not asking you to change your vote for Obama. Just think about it.

You can tell it is a VERY SLOW NEWS day @ CNN!!!!

Bush Memo:

Dear Uncle Dick,
How can I wreck the country before I leave, got any new ideas?

Your pal, Georgie W Bush.

Dear Georgie,
There's still time to tank the US economy, which will mean you can wreck the world economy. First send you buddy Paulson up to get a blank check, and we'll take it from there. Onward and downward, heh, heh.

So, if I vote for the Obama/Biden ticket, I don't value "Freedom?
Hummmmm"

Dah! Can't take Sarah's (aka Guardian of the Northern Frontier) AK-47 from her. She needs it to shoot wolves from helicopters. Afterwards she'll bag and field dress a moose.

Hey Sarah you're missing out on all the hunting fun before the first snows fly.

Big news huh? Of course the NRA endorses McSame. The NRA only endorses republicans. Shock. But let me tell you, there are plenty NRA members who are endorsing Obama...stick that in your gun NRA execs and chew it!

Seriously?

Next you'll be telling me that the NAACP is endorsing Obama.

Wonders will never cease.

The big surprise is that the NRA waited until NOW to support them, usually the NRA signs on to the Republican party earlier in the mix. Either McCain must scare them or Obama must intrigue them either way it is only a lukewarm endorsement at best.

Obama's not against guns, he's against people shooting people.

McCain, as we've seen, is very much in favor os people shooting people.

Sarah Palin is in favor of just shootin' up stuff.

No way???!!!!!!! Really???!!!! This is such big news! Thank God you were on top of it CNN!

I'm a democrat ,but guess what I'll never vote for Obama. Every one has a right to a gun if you want one. If Obama gets president you'll need one. there will be people robbing and stealing, because they can't put bread on the table for their kids.Obama has told so many lies, he doesn't know what he's told. He is in Ohio today, I wonder if ACORN is there registering voters, and letting them vote, they let one woman vote 12 times, that's the way Obama works. They hav found 1800 cases of fraud already. That's how Obama works. Acorn had a good teacher, Obama.

Wow, shocker!

What's next? The Republican Party endorses McCentury?

What happened to "drill baby drill", haven't heard McCain or Palin on that band wagon anymore, do you think it's because Alaska residence receive royalties from oil and McCain gives big money to oil companies. If Americans tax payers have to foot for cost of equipment to drill, shouldn't every American receive royalies from the sale of oil? Why are we none Alaskans exempt?

What next? Moose hunters endorsement?

Come on!!!

Obama does not have an anti-gun record. Every freedom comes with some responsibility. Whenever Responsibilities are mentioned it becomes Anti-something.

The free market needed someRegulation, somebody has the title of Mr Deregulation, see where that got all of us today?

Please can we go back to the real issues please?

God bless America.

If you look at the facts and statistics (which I know its too much to bother with facts) folks who own guns leagally do not commit crimes, they are used primarily for hunting and self defense if needed.
Now in other hands violent crimes with guns are usually done by people who aquire them illegally.

I own a shotgun, with licence of course, I am a member of NRA. I would never use my gun to commit crime, however if somebody enters my house without my permission and puts security of my family in question, that will most likely be the last thing he does on this earth.

McCain/Pain '08/'12

PS. I was never gonig to vote for Obama anyways, but I do not understand Obama supporters, he has not given any details about anything, he does not get into details explaining his plans for USA, he is running on HOPE for changing USA.
I admit we need to change some things but by gally I like USA as it is, I am not fore sure that everything should be changed.

NRA is endorsing a PRESIDENT and VICE-PRESIDENT just because the other candidate said he favours some restraint when handing out guns??

It all comes down to being free to own guns and brandish them around? Well, do view movies on TV about some countries in Africa. Makes you envious doesn't it? All those guns...

WATCH THIS AND YOU WILL KNOW

YOUTUBE:
"BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE
WHAT CAUSED OUR ECONOMIC CRISIS"

SEE IF CNN LETS THIS THRU

CLAY AIKEN IS GAY AND THE NRA SUPPORTS MACCAIN-PALIN?
ALL THESE SHOCKING REVALATIONS.

McCain/Palin brings out the HATRED in people...... they will divide and DESTROY our great country if they win. (WATCH)

Duh...only right wingers belong to this organization, so why would they support anyone else?

They say they are a non-partisan group, but they aren't. Just like McCain says he's for the veterans, but he's not.

THE NRA SUPPORTS McCAIN!!!

STOP THE PRESSES, THIS IS INDEED NEWS!!!!!

All of you rural hunters need to understand that where Obama is against guns is in the hands of criminals in the city. Not out in the country used for gaming or feeding your family. THere is a huge difference between that and a sub-machine gun in metro Chicago.

Please disappoint the conservatives and use sound judgement based on fact and not fear based spin.

Mr. Obama does not want to take your guns away. Common sense gun laws apply differently to inner city, urban, suburban and rural settings, and that is exactly what he has stood for over the years in the Illinois legislature and in Washington. So stop perpetuating all the fear and smear, you Charlton Heston types. He may have been an O.K. actor, but he was a little hardcore when it came to the second amendment issues.

Sooooooooooooooooooo unexpected. Whatever next?!
I'd have bet my home that they were going to endorse Obama. LOL

WOW, I am stunned. The NRA backing the GOP ticket? Unheard of. LOL

Country First! Me too... already voted for Obama!

WHO CARES . I HUNT BUT NOT THIS YEAR.

Geez',I didn't see this one coming........

Big surprise. Right wing, gun toting, red-necks. Of course the NRA supports McCain. They only endorse Republicans. Big news huh?

Who is John McCain? Who are his friends? S&L felon Charles Keating, convicted of wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud, was a close social and personal friend of McCain. Robert Asher, a Republican National Committeeman from Pennsylvania – and a felon convicted on public corruption charges signed on to McCain's campaign in February. Notorious Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy, who at one time plotted to murder a journalist, has been donating money to McCain for the past decade. Raffaello Follieri (convicted on Sep. 10th, 2008 for conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering) entertained McCain and Rick Davis on his Yacht on McCain's 70th birthday.

To BM: You say they will set the country back 200 years. Well Bush and Cheney already did that so McCain-Palin can take it back even further to completely re-write the Constitution so that it actually reads they way they want it to and not have to "interpret" its so-called flexibility.

I didn't know that hadn't yet.
WHY ON EARTH IS THIS CONSIDERED NEWS?

McCain will start World War 3, drive the final nail into our economy's coffin, and cause many employers to drop their health insurance coverage, but SO WHAT! Those darn liberals want to take away our guns!

On the other hand, if McCain gets elected, we'll all be broke so we'll need those guns to go out and hunt for food.

If your #1 voting priority is gun rights, seek help immediately.

Hey Folks,

Try not to notice our failing economy behind the curtain.

Don't allow McClueless to change the subject.

It's the ECONOMY stupid.

Surprise, surprise. Next will be People against Polars, Hockey Moms for Palin CHEESE, Moms against teen pregnancy...OOPS!
Doesn't matter, folks. This one is over for McCain and Palin. I wish tomorrow could be November 5 and I would be dancing in the street celebrating the Obama and Biden win on Nov. 4!

I challange anyone to find a Democrat that the NRA has ever endorsed. They will back a republican with a less sympathitic voting record than a democrat with perfect agreement to their policies....speaking from personal experience.....so what's the surprise here?????

AS AN NRA MEMBER, THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY AND I WILL VOTE FOR WHO IS FOR CHANGE.

OBAMA "08"

So why are we fighting Taliban and other people with guns, i thought it If 2nd is that good, why are we fighting people with gun in other places ??

I mean after all they are just protecting their home land...

This is HARDLY NEWS .....

The NRA has ZERO credibility with the folks that are currently undecided. This endorsement is not worth very much at this point.

America, vote for the team that is truly qualified ... with a qualified back up should something happen to the Number 1 guy.

Vote for the smart guys that can proactively address troubling situations BEFORE they become a CRISIS.

America, vote your hopes, not your fears.

Vote for THAT ONE.

What a surprise! My friends, patriot McCain knows how to catch Bin Ladend and he knows how to fix the economy but he will not tell us and he will keep us "prisoners" until we elect him president so Sarah Palin can be subsequently beccome President and now the NRA is providing Palin/McCain the guns to keep us "prisoners". Seems perfectly consistent

CNN what a waste of space...

What astonishes me is that the leadership of the NRA doesn't seem to care about their members who are going broke under the McCain/Bush economic plan.

HOW DUMB CAN YOU GET?

This is news? Doesn't the NRA just have a blanket endorsement in place for all Republicans?

Brace yourselves Dems, this is going to be a very trying month. We have 26 days, and we will prevail.

Right is on our side and we will not be deterred by the same people who put George Bush in the White House TWICE. Stay strong and keep focussed. We WILL take our country back.

One man
One spouse
One house
One America

We're gonna need our guns cause if McCain gets elected we're going back to a hunting/gathering economy. America will be so broke, we'll be looking to Alaska to supply us with moose meat to survive!

nooo..... you've got to be kidding?

And in other news, trees are made out of wood and water is wet.

The right to own a gun is a COnstitutional amendment. Of course you Liberals are in the practice of urinating on the Constitution so of course you do not understand or support the NRA. You also want to limit the freedom of speech by shutting down Conservative talk radio. If Liberals cannot spread their crazy beliefs to certain sectors then they try to shut them down. They are cowards.

Wow, I am so shocked that the NRA would endorse a Republican.

In other news, the Pope is Catholic.

Yes, Country First

You do the same. Endorse, Endorse and ...

Palin 08

This news comes as a complete and total shock. I would never have guessed by the kind words they have been sending Obama's way lately that they would be endorsing McCain.

And will this fix Wall Street??? SAVE HOMES? mortgages, layoffs? Get a gun and everything will be fine?? Give me a break! Was McCain endorsed by Unions? Please take that idiot Palin with you and head back to Alaska, we need substance not this kind of bull!!!

VOTE-->OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I'm SHOCKED! Paleeeeeeeeeze.

My husband and I are both gun owners from Wisconsin.......who are fervently supporting and voting for OBAMA/BIDEN!!!!

As Barack Obama has stated numerous times, he has NO interest in taking guns away from *law* abiding citizens, including hunters.

We have rifles and shotguns to hunt game animals because they are a food source for our family. That's it. We don't collect guns or use them to shoot people.

My husband is about as redneck as people come, and he feels VERY strongly that there is nothing wrong with making sure that there are laws/policies/systems in place to protect those of us who are responsible gun owners and other citizens who choose not to own a gun from criminals and/or the mentally disturbed who may choose to use a gun for illegal purposes.

Yay!
Go McCain u get those votes !!!!

SIKE !

Obama will crush McCain the Doddering and Palin the Country Risk.

"Not surprising – but I was a Republican who was supporting Obama….but hearing the positions they are offering…which I don't support….I just couldn't….socialism is not the answer….(unless the question was…how to wreck this country)"

When someone reads this type of comment, one wonders where these sorts of people have been for the past 8 years as America's image continues to go down hill!!!

Fact: this country's image has been wrecked by leaders who are not educated; they fight for only guns!

Maverick!! NOT,joe six pack pittbull in the white house NO

NRA
WOW to think that you support people that are so silly and can only bring HATE to the debate. But then you got to support your GIRL gun slinger.

Hay she might turn out just like chaney and shoot someonem, by accident. McCain better not go out hunting with Palin. Hate to see you have one of those ACCIDENTS

Whew!!!

The endorsement comes none too soon for McGeezer.
Most of my gun-nuts I know were on the fence about this one.

It's a real game changer.

We are card carrying members of the NRA – and we are voting for Obama/Biden !!

wow, a right wing organization backing a right wing political party. guess what i also owns guns, and i will be voting for obama.

If I didn't have enough reason before to vote Obama, this would do it for me. No Way, No NRA........

Do I need to say DUH?

What antigun record? Obama simply supports keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. The fact of the matter is that far too many criminals have guns and use them for illegal activities. I support every law abiding citizen owning a gun if they so choose, but the fact is that more and more guns are falling into the hands of those who will not be using them for hunting or recreation. They are falling into the hands of the people lurking in dark corners of society. The NRA is wrong on this issue.

A maverick is– a person who thinks independently; a lone dissenter; a non-conformist or rebel.
–Wikipedia

We don't need another maverick in the White House. Haven't we had enough of the that with George W. Bush? He "mavericked" himself to torture people, which is NOT American.

We want someone in the White House who will follow the law and not bend the rules to start personal wars.

Where can you be a maverick?
On the DANCE FLOOR! Not that we have anything to dance about, yet. But if Barack Obama and Joe Biden win the election, I plan to get "mavericky" on the dance floor. When you dance, you should be a non-conformist and just let the music move you.

On November 4th get "mavericky" folks, and do the "maverick" dance all night long.

Obama/Biden 08

My husband and I own guns and we don't let the NRA or any other group tell us what to do or who to vote for.

It's the economy stupid!

We are voting for Obama/Biden

Really don't make a difference
Who is Obama? Today Up +11 in Gallup
Cindy Unleashed + 5 Rasmussen
McCain ads on Ayers +8 VA
McCain Camp continues
attacks on Obama +7 PA
+3 Battleground
And the good news just keep on coming

And in other news today, the sun came up.

Are we surprised with this endorsement. Hell No this is right up Palin's alley guns and ammunition

Sad day for America and the moose.

Obama/Biden 08

A gun to protect yourself is one thing, a bazooka to hunt for quail is another.

They want to make sure that there's an AK-47 in every household.

"Chris, Middletown, CT October 9th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Not surprising – but I was a Republican who was supporting Obama….but hearing the positions they are offering…which I don't support….I just couldn't….socialism is not the answer….(unless the question was…how to wreck this country)"

-----------–

Even McCain supports socialism. Have you not heard his latest plan ?

So you want everyone who owns a gun to put on a swim and drape an American Flag around their waist and say, I have a gun now is yours bigger or shoot faster than mind. It's okay for the NRA to endorse such a sleazer group. But remember some of the gun slinging maverick sdon't have sense when it comes to gun safety or when to shoot the dam thing. Give everyone the right to carry their guns when and whereever they want NRA and when everyone start using them without thinking then the blood will be on Palin and NRA hands.

My husband and I own guns and we don't let the NRA or any other group tell us what to do or who to vote for.

It's the economy stupid!

Obama/Biden 08

What else is new! It's like saying Bush/Cheney endorses McCain/Palin.

Big change is coming. The consensus among the American people is that 8 years of republlican administration is enough and it is time to turn the page.

Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

What took them so long to endorse someone? Less than a month til the election. It's irrelevent now. That ship sailed.

Wow! I can't believe it! (end sarcasm)

Not too surprising, considering you have biggots at McKlan/aPaulin rallies shouting about killing Obama.

What a surprise! My friends, McCain knows how to fix the economy and he knows how to catch Bin Laden but bt friends patriot McCain will not tell us and will keep us "prisoners" until we elect him and now the NRA will provide the guns to keep us "prisoners". Seems perfectly consistent.

This just in....

The Pope is Catholic.

I am the NRA and I'm with Obama. Not all gun owners are right wing nut-jobs...

Wow NRA endorses trigger happy knee jerk McCain.What a surprise that is worth nothing much like McCains campaign.McCains lies and fraud have already sunk him, so can't see this doing anything but inciting more hate and division.

What took them so long to endorse someone? Less than a month til the election. It's rrrelevent now. That ship sailed.

"anyone who values freedom"...
Homocide in Canada and the USA is the same rate per 100,000 until you include death by firearms, which sends the USA over the top!
Freedom to kill, or freedom to live in peace?
Look at other country's record on this. It is the one truly antiquated policy of the USA in this modern era. No one needs a hand gun, except law enforcement.

NRA??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kill kill kill thats all NRA thinks about to sell more GUNS to kill eachother. Mccain wants to kill people thats why NRA is endorsing him

If you value your right to carry a gun and hunt then Obama is NOT who you should vote for.

Who cares!!!
Keep those guns handy so everyone whom is in real depression over the economy can kill themselves and take a few members of the family with them! How sad!

Suprise, suprise. Go shoot some more caribou.

Who cares fool

Who Really Cares

The McCain/Palin ticket will set this country back 200 years. They are doing a good job of divisiness. They are inciting the possibility of riots and hatred.
McCain/Palin and Cindy have skeletons in their closet. I'm sure Cnn want report that the first dude had numerous meeting with terrorist, attmptempting to separate themselvess from the US. McCain sat in on a meetin with a person who is still incarcerated for shooting and bombing an abortion clinic.

If the endosed McCain, that show me that they know nothing about the constitution that his administration has destroyed.

Yes, after McCain and Palin run this economy in the ground and we're all forced to live in caves, we're going to need guns for hunting and skinning the neighbors dogs for survival.

Prior perception: This woman has effectively removed all “blonde” jokes from the public stage.

New perception: It is now time for brunettes to ascend to center stage!

"anyone who values freedom to vote McCain-Palin on November 4,"

That's just stupid logic, and an absolute wrong vote. If you value your freedoms, do not want big brother taking liberties with them and tossing out those rights, such as reading people their Miranda rights, invasion of privacy, freedom of press, seperation of church and state, and the complete trashing of the constitution...then you will want to go with the 'constitutional professor'...not the dude that's voted in line with Bush to repeal each and everyone of our citizens rights.

As a gun owner, as a veteran, as a christian and as a white male, I'm voting for the man who best represents my patriotic values! I'm voting Obama!

One House,
One Car,
One Spouse,
One Nation!

One vote, that ONE!!

I am so proud of you Obama and Michelle Obama
is an inspirational to me. After listening to Michelle last night,
this morning I felt so positive and good.

Mme. Palin who is a killer and is killing animals in Alaska,
how can anyone like this ruthless creature.

Smart Move NRA

We all knew that they would. I understand about hunters wanting to be able to hunt but there is also another side to people having guns – and that is when people get robbed on the street at gunpoint, people whose home have been invaded by people carrying guns and the list goes on.

Obama will not take your gun away if it is a standard gun... However, if you claim you use your gun for hunting or protection, yet you want to buy 12 AK47's, 3 Bazooka's and other excessive weapons, he'll prevent that. I find NOTHING wrong with clamping down on excessively dangerous weapons – preventing them from falling into the hands of gangs and criminals. Obama advocates RESPONSIBLE gun use, not un regulated gun use.

smart!

obama/biden!

Where are the animal lovers when you need them. Ban all guns.

Why isnt the media talking about Todd and Sara Palin's involvment with the AIP in Alaska ????? It's on Huffington Post–let's hear about it

Sarah P. can go back shooting moose in Alaska. Great future with the NRA.

Good for you "Repub for Obama" Glad to see a member who doesn't walk (goose) step in line with LaPierre and his cronies say.

No worries!!!! Has the NRA ever endorse a democratic candidate. If not, how is this any different and what do you expect from a republican org???

This is one republican who is "putting country first"

I have already voted for Obama!

Now wait a minute. For weeks all we hear are accusations from the McCain-Palin camp about Barack Obama and terrorists. Terrorists are known for their love of guns. So why isn't the NRA endorsing Obama?

Just another reason to vote for Obama.

FANTASTIC!!!

We do not need Obama taking our guns and leaving them only in the hands of the bad guys!!

Obama is showing very POOR judgement in his selection of VP – Biden did NOT even know the responsibilities of a vice president!!! WHY is the media not eating this up??? Duh – the media is mainly liberal (democratic)!!!!

NOBAMA!!!!! NO WAY!!!

McCain/Palin 08
Palin 2012!!!

There's a real surprise.The democrats are sure to be disappointed. Perhaps Palin can bring some wolf paws to her next campaign stop to show her gratitude.

Wow, no kidding! Never saw that coming...

The NRA should be ashame of themselves.It's time to stop and clamp down on guns because all the the weapons are ending up in Canada. It's time for real change-–Vote OBAMA/Biden.

Early voting is the way to go.

Registered Republican voted for Obama/Biden 08

How come things McCain/Palin have been saying about Obama that have been PROVEN lies are allowed to be said over and over? This is NOT freedom of speech, but borders on slander

I'm SOOOOOO surprised the NRA is endorsing the Republican ticket!

Moving on........

Price for plane ticket to niece’s wedding - $372

Price for wedding gift certificate to Macy’s Bridal - $500

The joy of watching my 17 year old niece walk down the aisle in a black empire gown because she is 7 months pregnant, while followed by all 6 groomsmen forcibly carrying the soon to be loving husband to the alter to happily join in wedded bliss - PRICELESS!

Poor gun toting idiots. The NRA is a joke.

wow... thats a surprise!

Idiots

Barry Obama also says he is for guns rights... and anything else he needs to say to get elected. But like all his other verbiage, there is nothing of substance or legislative history to back that up.

watch for RICO charges to be filed against ACORN very soon. The investigation already undway includes Howard '52 state' Dean, Donna Brazzile and the Lord High Obama.

Should make for a very interesting next 3 weeks.

shocker.

So! Like that wasn't expected. What should really be news is McCain blowing up at a woman while he was gambling recently. McCain yelled "Do you know who I am. Do you know who I am" over and over again at an elderly lady.

I owned guns and I will not vote for Senator Stupid and Governor Airhead!!!! NRA's Wayne LaPierre is completely out of his mind if he thinks gun owner is going to vote for McCain/Palin just because of Obama's anti-gun record! It's not going to happen!!!!!!!!!!!

They should all just move to Texas and walk around with their guns if they want them so bad. The rest of the country can then have gun control laws so we can avoid the 12,000 gun murders a year we're up to.

That figures. Shoot em up Sarah and War Monger McSame fit in with the membership of this group.

Really! I'm astonished... Never saw that one coming.

So what? all ends up in Alaska after Nov.4

what a surprise... is this really news?

Of course they are.

really?

rofl, it's not going to matter.

Obama/Biden 2008

What a surprise!!! Who cares what a bunch of RED NECK hillbillies think

Not surprising; the McCain/Palin duo do a good job shooting themselves in the foot.

of course..Caribou Barbie is their poster girl. But ultimately, this has no effect on numbers, so it's a wasted endorsement.

Not surprising – but I was a Republican who was supporting Obama....but hearing the positions they are offering...which I don't support....I just couldn't....socialism is not the answer....(unless the question was...how to wreck this country)

Shocking. I thought this site was for "news".

SURPRISE!

I'm an NRA member but guess what guys, as McCain says, country first so I'm voting for Obama.
