One-issue voters

[Bataar]

As the OP, I make the following statement: I won’t be voting for candidates who take money from the NRA.

My U.S. Rep is a guy I’ve always liked. He’s a moderate Republican, he’s strong on innovations in public education, strong on business, practical on immigration (from a business perspective). I always agreed with him. But his campaign was funded by NRA money, and he gave an ambivalent answer when he was questioned about it. Unfortunately, I’m nearly certain he’s lost my vote. He’s lost my wife’s vote, for sure.

Who would you rather vote for, a candidate who accepts money from the NRA, an organization that receives 0 tax dollars and is funded only by its members who’s primary goal is to protect a constitutional right or a candidate who accepts money from Planned Parenthood, an organization that is receives considerable funding at taxpayer expense who’s goal is to make sure as many abortions are performed as possible, intentionally killing far more people than those who die at the hands of gun violence?
