NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The prospect of Hillary Rodham Clinton's imminent presidential campaign dropped like a gift from the heavens at the National Rifle Association's annual convention Friday.

A succession of potential Republican presidential rivals slung criticism and cracked jokes about the Democratic candidate-to-be, and NRA leader Wayne LaPierre, never given to understatement, predicted doom for the nation if she should win.

"Hillary Rodham Clinton will bring a permanent darkness of deceit and despair forced upon the American people to endure," LaPierre said. The NRA executive vice president and CEO vowed that the powerful gun lobby would "stand shoulder to shoulder" to prevent her from becoming the next president.

Clinton plans to announce her candidacy for the Democratic nomination on Sunday. Many speakers at the NRA convention took the opportunity to say something about it.
"Is this the ready-for-Hillary gathering?" joked Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

No.
Fear, drama and bullying is all they have.

While the long list of Republicans jockeying for the nomination of their party are just a ray of sunshine.

I thought that it was Obama who was going to take away our right to carry enough weapons to arm a small nation. Isn't that what the NRA warned its members in 2008?

Is greatly exaggerated

Most Americans approve of the Iran negotiations. Not one republican candidate or potential candidate agrees with that

Most Americans approve of establishing relations with Cuba. No no no by the republicans

All the Democratic candidates, and potential Democratic Candidates recognize what a disaster Iraq was. The republicans do not agree

I could go for with civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, and so many other issues that Modt Americans support, but not the republicans

all of this lunacy. I made a point of working at an alternate location last Friday and I feel like the whole area needs an exorcism after they all vacate.
