Hunting, just a bad idea to go after this as if it were evil.

Look folks, I understand, many of our URBAN residents do not get it... I understand. But claiming that hunting is somehow a defect of Republicans is a sure way to lose you an election in rural areas where people HUNT AND FISH, period.

Here you go, two well known "Republicans," Senators Shumer and Nelson

Here is another well known "Republican," one Senator Kerry

There are other well known "Republicans," such as Bob Kerry who hunts as well.

Now here is another well known "Republican" fishing. You might even recognize him and his wife.

Oh my bad. All these people are (or were) well known DEMOCRATS. This is why this is stupid. Neither party owns hunting or fishing... if you do not get it why people do either, sure I understand. But ascribing evil to this is just plain out asking to continue to lose votes in rural America where both hunting and fishing are part of the culture. Oh and unless you are a vegan, sorry folks, but somebody else killed your steak. And you surely do not want to look into how your chicken, eggs and milk are produced either.

Yes, Paul Ryan hunts... so? He lives in an area of the country where hunting is a popular activity and part of the wild white tail population management. And your point? I got a problem with how Chenney did it, his is not hunting... but that is another ball of wax. But seeing that either of these two is evil because they hunt is silly. There are more than enough reasons to call them ON POLICY, without going after them for practicing something humans have done since oh since Homo Sapiens walked the planet. That is just plain stupid.
