Crowley Political Report

The National Rifle Association's new campaign ad shows a woman alone at home and when an intruder suddenly breaks into the house. The NRA concludes that Florida Governor Rick Scott is the guy who protect her.

Not long ago, NRA was in love with Charlie Crist. 

In 2006, The NRA endorsed Crist for governor: 

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA-PVF) and Unified Sportsmen of Florida are pleased to inform you that both organizations have endorsed you for Governor of Florida in the 2006 Republican Primary.

Throughout your career as a Florida legislator and statewide office holder, you have been unwavering and have stood strong in support of law-abiding gunowners and sportsmen. Your background of legislative service demonstrates your commitment to the cause of freedom and protection of constitutional rights.

No one has been stronger in support of Second Amendment, self-defense, and anti-crime issues than Charlie Crist and we sincerely appreciate your solid pro-sportsmen, pro-Second Amendment, pro-freedom record.

Marion P. Hammer
NRA Past President
Executive Director Unified Sportsmen of Florida

While Crist was governor the NRA gave him its highest rating - A+

Hammer said this about Crist as governor:

"He has always throughout his career been a strong advocate for the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen, never voted against us, always voted with us as governor," Hammer said. "He signed every piece of legislation gun owners asked him to sign and vetoed every piece of legislation negatively impacting gun owners and sportsman that gun owners asked him to veto. He has an outstanding record of support." Read more here.

All of that makes this ad odd.
