Consistent NRA endorsement of incumbent Democrats with poor voting records promotes “status quo” in a North Carolina legislature which consistently refuses hearings to pro-gun bills…

Previous articles on 2010 candidate ratings and endorsements have focused on a few high profile congressional races and reasons why the NRA rating system is flawed. Let us now examine lesser known races in which we will compare NRA ratings with the percentage of the time a given candidate has voted with gun owners, plus his or her GRNC evaluation. Generally speaking, in this and earlier years, the NRA seems to award incumbents with less than perfect gun rights voting records about a one letter upgrade from what they actually deserve, perhaps as part of its “friendly incumbent” policy. read on

This meme is part of a pattern. As longtime Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz, now writing for The Daily Beast, puts it, “News organizations were late to the tea party phenomenon and are still grappling to explain it.”

By Deroy Murdock, National Review Online

With just 12 days until the November 2 elections, pro-market, small-government candidates, activists, and concerned citizens should study and then disseminate three charts that perfectly encapsulate the status quo that, if all goes well, the midterm vote will capsize.
