Perhaps Gunner would like to bring in kinfolk Tom DeLay....

Why won't DeLay go dove hunting with Dustin?

Mandatory trigger locks vs mandatory childbirth.... There has to be some way to come to a compromise. How 'bout we let all those unwanted pregnancies come to fruition, put 'em on some dude ranch somewhere, and let Gunner and dick Cheney shoot 'em?
Why is Gunner running against Bill Clinton, anyway?

Why won't DeLay go dove hunting with Dustin?
Posted by: Claude Bahls

I heard DeLay is a dove lover and doesn't care for guns or hunting or hunters.

At least that's what they said at the coffee shop this morning.

Rick,

I guess Delay is running against Clinton because McDaniel is trying to ride on Clinton's coattails by having Bill come in to help.

Delay is mucho scairy but is this McDaniel the Jonesboro one that got the TIF law robbery passed in the state?

With Attorney General I don't (can't) spend as much time watching the race till this time of year. Now I am doing my homework.

I can not vote for anyone enabling developers to funnel school funds to private developemnet.

I am hoping these are differnet McDaniels or I will just refuse to vote in this race. I sure can't see AT failing to mention the TIF thing.

Same guy. AT has mentioned it mucho times. It was hashed and rehashed during the primary, day in and day out for two months.

Primary is over. The people have spoken. Time to vote against DeLay or, as you said, leave the race to others to decide.

Yea, we have the milliionaire trial lawyer versus the nut job.I dont think either one will be concerned with the citizens of Arkansas. I may have to vote green on this one too. Rebekah Kennedy for A.G, unless Rod Bryan has a brother or sister that can run for A.G.

Its a good thing they are pro choice. One of the hallmarks of 3rd world countries are that 1/2 the population have very little rights (those being the women). Also countries headed by Muslim law are big on repressing women. Why are right wingers so blind to the hypocrasy of having the right to bear arms(which I agree with), but not allowing women the right to manage their own health? Why is it infringing on rights to register guns, when at the same time the government can spy on you without warrant for the "common good"?
Why is using Prevention, Intervention & treatment being soft on crime? Why do we continue to not only outlaw but refuse to study a drug (marijuana) that has been used for thousands of years to treat many ailments and has never caused an overdose? Why can't we learn from other people, the Dutch have been engineering dikes far longer than we have to handle 10,000 year flood events when we engineer for 100 yr events? Why can the French produce 80% of their power from nuclear plants? Why couldn't we acknowledge that the Middle East has been unstable since the beginning of mankind and that we can't count on being able to get energy from there? Would we not have been better to build 200 nuclear plants insted of spending $1 trillion on democratizing Iraq, or spend it on cellulose alcohol technology, or other alternative energy sources or some combination thereof? I understand we cannot stick our head in the sand as the world did with Hitler, but what brought Hitler into power was the unbearable terms of Verailles on the people of Germany. Where are people like Henry Kissenger and James Baker? Why does our President not know the history of the Crusades and what it did to the Jewish & Muslim people, why would he use the term "crusade" to describe our endeavor in Iraq? And why don't blogs have spellcheckers?

Rasputin
Why would anyone want to go dove hunting with McDaniel? Come on, we all know it was a stunt. Opposing candidates don't usually go play golf together either. That doesn't mean they don't like golf now does it.

The choices in this race aren't very appetizing. I'm not crazy about Dustin, but Gunner is a bona fide nut, so I guess I'll be holding my nose again and I pick the best of two bad ones.

Come on, we all know it was a stunt.

It was Claude Bahls who asked the question, and I think Claude knows it was a stunt. In fact, Claude's question was a stunt. Why didn't you realize that?

Gunner said he was too busy campaigning to go hunting. What a putz. Every hunter knows that you're never too busy for opening day. Once again Gunner has proven that he knows nothing about the hunting community. I have absolutely no fears that Dustin will uphold my 2nd ammendment rights. By the way Jerry, you spelled "instead" incorrectly and started a sentence with "and". Don't throw stones...

I think or hope that Jerry was referring to his/her own post with the spellchecker question. I did like a lot of the questions on that post and I haven't figured out how to use spellchecker with this stuff either.

It is apparent that Mr. DeLay has set the central issue between Arkansas Republican and Democratic candidates.

Lip-locks versus gun-locks and Arkansan voters have to decide which is more dangerous.

Well who would any sane person rather have endorsing their candidacy? A president who was more popular when impeached (60+%) or a failed president who can't even keep his lies straight for 2 days?
