Re: Jason Altmeyer endorsed by NRA?
Bear in mind, the NRA says up front that if both the incumbent and the opponent have the same A rating, the NRA will endorse the incumbent.
In Murtha's case I see no opponent listed, maybe someone in the local area can gives us better information.

Its good they both agree on guns, gives me the ability to overlook that and get to the other issues they're fighting on. With that being said....

Re: Jason Altmeyer endorsed by NRA?
I have been an NRA member for a number of years. I have let my membership drop. If they want to support people like Murtha, they don't want me as a member.
My son is a US Marine and has just returned from Iraq. While he was there, Murtha accused Marines of being murderers, which put my son and all other Marines there at an extra level of risk.
For me, the NRA is just another polital hack organization.

Re: Jason Altmeyer endorsed by NRA?
NRA is a single issue organization. The only thing it takes to earn their endorsement is voting with them on the issues that they lobby on behalf of, which means guns. And despite Murtha's vileness on other issues, he's voted with NRA on their issues. That's not meant to be, and shouldn't be taken, as an endorsement of any of Murtha's other positions.

Re: Jason Altmeyer endorsed by NRA?
NRA is not a single issue lobby. They may rally around 2A, but are undoubtedly an extension of the GOP. I don't think anyone would argue this.
