@lnxw48a1 ... then wring their hands and wonder why the Dems take them for granted -

@lnxw48a1 to make sure #GOP do what they want, #NRA regularly flex their organisational muscles; mobilizing their people outside of #GOP -

@tekk @lnxw48a1 ... so the #NRA can extract concessions from the #GOP in a way that the unions haven't been able to with the Dems -

@tekk @lnxw48a1 ... the #NRA observably support the #GOP, as being most friendly to their cause, but don't submit to its internal discipline -

@lnxw48a1 @tekk there's a difference between supporting a party, and submitting to its tactical and messaging discipline, as US labour has -

@lnxw48a1 @tekk this assumes that the worst thing that can happen to a political party is losing this or that election race. It isn't. -

@tekk @lnxw48a1 when was the last time US labour organisations led anything as challenging of the establishment as the #TeaParty or #Occupy? -

@tekk @lnxw48a1 think of the Charlton Heston "cold dead hands" rally after the Columbine shooting. #NRA lobbyists have teeth; active members -

@tekk @lnxw48a1 example? The #NRA. The GOP know they will always have their votes, but they still hold huge influence because they mobilize -
