Other serious contenders for NRA President

[ericire12]

Other then Ted Nugent, who would you suggest for NRA president and why. I already gave my short list in the Ted 4 President thread:

Ted may not be 100% right for that job....... or rather there may be others who are better for the role. Others like Tom Seleck, Rob Lathem, Jerry Miculek, Jim Scoutten, our own Michael Bane (I'm not kissing ass here), Julie Goloski (Gasp! A woman), Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee, Bill Jordan, Cindy Garrison (Gasp! Another woman), Charlie Daniels or maybe a retired athlete

I am interested in seeing who else us gun folk think would be a viable poster child for the NRA...... I will put together a poll for us in a few days with 10 or so candidates to vote on.








*No one else mention Ted Nugent in this thread please. There is already a thread for that discussion and he will also be included in the poll.

*If you are giving more then a one word reply, please highlight the name of the person so I can find it easier.

JIMO, given the current political climate, I would say the best person is some one that just just a shade left of center.

Gun control is not a a left of right thing... its a control/ Look what I am doing to protect you thing.

Just as an aside...Bill Jordan is dead.  My pick would be Oliver North, Selleck or Huckabee. Another aside...Selleck received last year the greatest number of votes for Director in history of NRA.

Tab,

I tend to not attack people on forums but ... ARE  YOU  OFF  YOUR  FRICKEN  ROCKER?

The anti-Constitutional gun control crowd are playing hardball, and you want to counter with a kittenball pitcher?

What turnip truck did you fall off of?

I'm not saying that there aren't others that could do as good a job as Ted Nugent, and I'm not saying that there are some that could do better, but we absolutely do not want anyone that will not be just as educated, firm in beliefs, living the beliefs, and unashamedly open about their Constitutional Rights!

People say, and you are saying, that we need to use a little honey and not be brash and offensive.  BS !!!  Does Billy Graham tone down his message so as to not offend others?  No!  He stands up there and openly says to anyone and everyone that if they do not accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and let Him control your life you are not going to Heaven ... period.  Does the mainstream attack Rev. Graham?  No.  The mainstream goes after the wishy washy "feel good" clergy and pick their messages apart.  What do the abortion advocates do?  Do they pussy foot around the issues?  No, they stand up and tell anyone and everyone that they destroy fetuses, and because of this brashness they have made this act a Constitutionally protected "medical necessity. 

We need to pick up the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, wave it in their faces and tell them "From my cold dead hands!"

"Uncertain as we must ever be of the particular point in our circumference where an enemy may choose to invade us, the only force which can be ready at every point and competent to oppose them, is the body of neighboring citizens as formed into a militia. On these, collected from the parts most convenient, in numbers proportioned to the invading foe, it is best to rely, not only to meet the first attack, but if it threatens to be permanent, to maintain the defence until regulars may be engaged to relieve them."
--Thomas Jefferson: 1st Annual Message, 1801. ME 3:334


"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.-Thomas Jefferson

Who do you think the current congress/ adminstration is more likly to work with?

Some one like ted nugent or some one that has simlar views on most issues?


Also who do you think will bring in more members?  some one thats far right, or a moderate?     Did you learn anything from the last election?   All McCain did was go after the right voters,  obama went after the moderate voters.  The right was already going to vote for McCain and the left was already going to vote for Obama... no need to go after those votes, they are already in your pocket.

TAB, You just don't get it, do you ? We don't want to "work with Congress", we want to beat them about the head and shoulders with the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Federalist Papers until they cry Uncle and conform to the letter of the law. 
People who have bothered informing themselves, instead of spouting feel good BS, understand that in a REPUBLIC, the Constitution trumps the choice of the majority.

Tom said it best as I was about to post, so let me just add, McCain lost because he was too much like Obama, remember his Gang of 14 - left of center group that wanted to get things moving in the Congress, his support for the illegals, his anti-1st Amendment law, and on and on.

No real choice other than in his selection of Palin, which was clear pandering to the more conservatives and it did what he wanted it to - energized us to a point where we would not have to hold our noses too tightly to vote for him.

Tom's right, we no longer want to "work" with Congress, we want them to get the message that we do not support them, will not vote for them, and will see to it that our rights are respected by the gummint - ALL of our rights, not just the ones the elites want to recognize when they want to be re-elected.

One solution would be to elect a pretty face like Selleck as President, someone the elites will recognize as their own (Hollyweird and all that), and then appoint the Motor City Madman as some form of roving ambassador, a front man for the press, someone who can push the agenda without the President getting his hands dirty.

I do not for a moment think Lapierre (the real authority within the NRA) would stand for Ted, but it would be interesting to see. And Ted would force Lapierre's hand, force him to be more direct and honest, or otherwise risk a split within the NRA again.

Thanks Tom...

TAB, with all respect...BHO was elected by a margin of 3%, that percentage could barely mark an "X" on the ballot.  He won the election by the "Dumbass" vote who can barely read above an eighth grade level...

We have been doing that for decades, it has not worked.  Not to mention the fact that NRA will sell out parts of the gun community to protect others.  Cough NFA  Cough CA Cough  NJ  Cough HI  Cough NY....

Don't blame NRA for YOUR pathetic condition. That's purely on the state. The selfish tendency to elect the BS artist that promises the most freebies is YOUR problem.
I understand that your Attorney General is a likely to run for Gov. again. Jerry Brown was Great for you last time wasn't he ?
