"The NRA is the largest membership organization in America."
Not even close to true...AARP has more than 35 million members....

NRA claims three million members, but lies publicly often. Audited criculation of its member magazines shows circulation DROPPING, not increasing...

"all this will be at your back, gently filling your sails, powering you toward your goals."
Which is why they have folks like Grover Norquist on their board...because they support liberal goals.

"I can confirm that Dean did indeed have the NRA endorsement as VT governor."
And tell us, where did he stand on the Assault Weapons ban? (Why, he was for it). And where did he stand on shutting the gun show loophole? (He was for it.) And if he could get all the NRA support you claim to "gently fill his sails and power him toward his goals," why did he finish no better than third in any major primary? (The answer to that is pretty fucking obvious.)
