You left off Independent Expenditures on purpose because it makes your NRA look like the right wing nuts they are. I knew you would.

"Explain that cherry picking to me." Sure I will!! Do I need to do the math for you? Percents to Republicans vs. Democrats. At this point you are just looking silly. I can't wait for the next list of excuses. Actually, give me the percents. I would love to see you admit it.
