That was some weeks ago indeed.

Lists expenditures that the Brady Campaign did report, along with expenditures reported by various other organizations, in 2002.

What's interesting is how they line up.

Reporting expenditures FOR a candidate that the Brady Campaign opposed:
- the NRA
- an assortment of anti-choice outfits (that's what the Susan B. Anthony List is, for anyone wondering)
- National Taxpayers' Union

Also reporting expenditures AGAINST a candidate that the Brady Campaign opposed:
- Planned Parenthood organizations
- League of Conservation Voters

Ah, those funny bedfellows.

If that's too convoluted for some to follow, it goes like this:

The NRA supported the same candidates as the National Taxpayer's Union and several anti-choice organizations.

The Brady Campaign opposed the same candidates as Planned Parenthood organizations and the League of Conservation Voters.

Where are all those conservation-minded hunters and other gun owners??
