Fewer and fewer hunters and fishermen these days. That relates to fewer and fewer votes for these turkeys running for office.

I think the average guy who happens to hunt would fall on either side with a few more for a conservative than a more liberal candidate, but not by overwhelming numbers. As an anecdote, I have three sons - all hunters and two support Obama and one, because of his church, is convinced Obama would end the world as we know it.

I suspect if you polled affluent hunting clubs, you might get mostly conservative voters who would always support the more conservative candidate - so don't think all this means much.

"...probably said they'd prefer to hunt with Dick Cheney..."

And drink beer with W.

seem to be in a bitchy mood this morning.

Maybe when dove season opens McCain will take a break from the campaign trail to go on a little matinee hunt with the Dickster.

This poll was clearly limited to white, middle-class males who are still relying on their fathers' and grandfathers' treatment of anxiety about E.D. because they haven't picked up on Cialis. They should poll men who drive pickups with at least 300 h.p. motors and no muffler, so as to include minorities.

A positive correlation between taking pleasure in killing (a "sport" is something you take pleasure in, right?) and Republicanism? I'm shocked, simply shocked!

"They're just not sure how much fun Barack Obama would be in a duck blind,"
One would like to think that any POTUS would have more sense than to wade ass deep in frigid water in the dark to blow a kazoo at the sunrise. I wonder if drivers of those squeaky clean extended cab 3/4 ton pickups with a "Sportsman for Bush" bumper sticker have any regrets. Nah, probably not.

Hey, wouldn't hunting with Dick Cheney make it more of a sport? I'd suppose it'd be more challenging if you had to figure into your plans that your hunting companion might shoot back. Sort of like football teams with active QBs who think they can tackle.

I like the last line of the article ". . . That was an accident, of course. Accidents happen to everyone."

Sure happened to all of us for the last eight years, over and over! I think our karma is due to change.

Clinton wasn't even vetted by the Obama campaign. Says one insider: "She's waiting for the text message just like anyone else."

I love the headline: "Hillary gets stiffed." Click on the blue name.

You gotta love the Obama campaign holding off on the VP announcement, just to let McCain squirm in his own affluence and dementia a few more days.

I figure Obama has had to let McCain drift up in the polls just to keep the Republicans from organizing a switch at the convention.

Now the media is even starting to hammer him over the "noun, verb, POW" defense to everything.

Fun, fun, fun!!!

I wonder how many of those hunters had a sleaze bag felon like Tony Rezco help them buy a home for 1.5 million. Ask Obama he can tell you.

Here's a newsflash, none of us will ever get to hunt with Dick Cheney and 99.9% of us will never get to hang with Obama and Michelle or Johnny Depp or George Clooney or even that loathsome couple in the Sonic Drive-in commercials. I'm sorry.....life just doesn't work that way.

I feel safe in saying NONE of us will own 11 houses at one time. Not even Alice Walton owns 11 houses at one time. And if you're grown, your penis isn't getting any bigger and unless you put on a lot of weight you're stuck with the boobs you have. Enjoy them as they are.....I do!

Which reminds me of what someone said a couple of weeks ago. They said when you're getting money you're usually a Democrat, when you got money you turn Republican. Well...this is probably so to a degree. John McShrimp said last week at BibleBack that you're rich if you made 5 million dollars last year. Poor Barack only made 4....boo hoo. I'm pretty sure Billary didn't make 5 million last year or any of the rest of us on this blog either. So here's where the stupid sets in.

Most of us started out in the middle class at best.....we are the lucky ones. So you work and work and look up one day and you have over 12,000 dollars in savings! Whoopie! Good on ya. Next thing you think...well god....I'm a Republican because the Republican Party is the party of rich people....that's me! This works just as well if you have 200 thousand in the bank. That's wonderful and compared to the next guy you may be rich. But to the leaders of the Republican Party you're nothing but white trash. You don't have shit. You may be the richest relative you've got, but you still don't have shit.

I've spent 200,000 in a hurry....I'm an idiot. Rich is when you can't hardly spend it all no matter how hard you try. It's great to feel good about yourself, but if you CAN spend all your money, you don't need to start voting AGAINST yourself by supporting Republican ideas that DO work if you have millions, but only hurts you if you have less than a million tucked away. Get it?

When America-AT&T melts down, the rich Republicans will jet away to Dubai and live happily ever after. You won't. You're jerking yourself off if you think otherwise. You're wanking if you think you're going fishing with McShrimp or will ever be invited to one of his 11 houses. I've learned to accept that Gay White will never know my name nor seek my company, much less Cindy McCain. So it's probably a great idea to vote for your own interests, not your fantasies, but in things that will help you make more money and keep more money. Those ideas are not coming from the Republican Party. You won't get 11 houses voting Democratic either.....but if you want to avoid the melt down and not look stupid later on in life.......be real, vote Democrat and dump these rich bastards you're silly enough to think would piss on your head if it was ablazing.

PS No tooth fairy, no Easter Bunny, no Bigfoot, no God, no Allah, no billion years in heaven mingling with Britt Hume or Billy Graham. Be real.

Only a dumb-ass would vote for the socialistic nanny party[better known as democrats].

Thanks fcs25, name-calling allows you join with severus, chasv, strangelove and all the little "reprechan"'s failing to be able to make a point and following the last sentence. Keep the Repub home fires burning!

". . . Propagandists use the name-calling technique to incite fears and arouse prejudices in their hearers in the intent that an invoked bad name will cause hearers to construct a negative opinion about a person, group, or set of beliefs or ideas that the propagandist would wish hearers to denounce. The method is intended to provoke conclusions and actions about a matter apart from an impartial examinations of the facts of the matter. When employed, name-calling is thus a substitute for rational, fact-based arguments against an idea or belief, based upon its own merits. . . "

Name-calling instead of intelligent discourse and tolerance of differing opinions has a long history. Hitler did it, Stalin did it U.S. Citizens and Soldiers did it in War I, War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq I, Iraq II, Afghanistan, Panama, Grenada etc. It's a lot easier to abuse or kill when by calling them "subhumans," "capitalists," "reds," "imperialists," "heinies," "krauts," "japs," "nips," "gooks," "wops," "ragheads," "wogs," etc. You demote them to things instead of people.

It also seems to have become the hallmark of those unable to defend a political belief or tenet with facts, just as profanity has always been the recourse of those too inarticulate to express their passions in in intelligible English. . . ."

I think it's up to 12 homes now, Max.

And early this morning the non-elitist man-of-the-people would be LOTUS (Leader of the United States) rode in a nine-car motorcade to get a cup of fancy coffee at Starbucks.

Yeppers.

Ok folks, nothing to see here on the 10, 11, or 12 homes bit.

Bro Karl Rove clears it all up for the rest of us common folk.

Even Ms Cindy's momma gets invoked. click on name.

Touching.
