There are two types of Presidential Candidates:
Kerry, he cannot handle the ads by the Swift Boat veterans which criticize his Vietnam war record. Kerry has been crying and whining over these ads and the movie "Stolen Honor" and can’t handle it anymore, he has even filed a complaint. What type of Commander In Chief would he make if he can’t handle the heat?
Bush, he can handle the heat from moveon.org, Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-11 movie, war protestors, terrorists, and the world. He is a tough strong Commander In Chief and a fearless warrior who keeps on standing tall, positive, and strong. Nothing fazes President Bush.
On November 2004 I will vote for President Bush. I would like to see a real man as our President and not a rich spoiled crybaby Gigolo.

George Will is a conservative opinion columnist, but is somewhat to the left within conservative circles. Certainly nothing like Bloomberg who is to the left of many Democrats.
He also used to really annoy Bush 41. That takes a lot of doing, because even liberals really liked Bush 41 as a person.

A president that doesn't need a manicure (or announce he had one)! Doesn't get a tan in a bottle...gets it the manly way...outside, in the sun! and a president that can take the heat...not a whiner who will say and do anything to get elected. It is amazing the race is even close...but then I never thought Clinton would be President for 8 years either...surely the public learned from this.
That is a GREAT ad!!
Saying he 'bagged' a 16 point buck should have done that already.
Although the show clip started as a "cold water clip" to protect the poodle's joints, it is a "big hair" clip now and useless for hunting.
And while the clip obscures the exact location of the elbow joint, the drawing looks pretty close -
(I like the GSPs, but they are very hyper. Even more so than my Lab (who doesn't point). )
I'll go further and state that the provisions of CFR that addressed the communications blackout prior to the election were written specifically against NRA advertisement. The libs like to shudder theatrically and imagine that the NRA is some sort of all-consuming conspiracy (4 million votes ain't chump change, but it's 4 million spread out over the whole country) but in fact it isn't the organization, but the issue, that's killing them. So they put a veneer of "we love sport shooting, hunters aren't at risk" on their gun control programs and merrily define hunting firearms right back into them. Here the NRA only functions to point out that they aren't fooling anybody but themselves.
You can, incidentally, avoid yearly NRA dues. Become a Life Member.
I'm more interested in the Guns of November THIRD, FOURTH, and FIFTH...
Now... I was *unable* to find the earlier post by using the "search" function, and I suspect whoever posted this had the same problem. I searched for it by "nra" and by "will", because I remembered those two words from the earlier title,and it didn't turn up in my search. I finally found it by going through the history listings in my browser.
All my redneck friends are pointing at that poster and laughing - and *that's* what counts, with political advertising, not the accuracy of the details.
I agree with your other comments. To illustrate this point I would have chosen a miniature or teacup poodle or a Chihuahua as being a fundamentally sillier animal than a standard poodle. Standard poodles are too smart to represent Kerry accurately anyway!
My daughter has a GSP pup which she brings over to the house. Hyper isn't the half of it.
It would probably be more fair to say that poodles USED to be hunting dogs. That's been bred out of most of them, especially the miniature and toy varieties. Just like the show variety of Irish setter.
The minature and toy, sure. Though I'm not sure that either has much standard poodle left in them, anymore.
But there are a number of people successfully hunting with standard poodles, still.
I do like the Standard Poodles, but I really don't care for the miniature or teacup variety. All the ones I know are kind of nervous and have people- or dog-aggression issues. And that just doesn't work for a dog that is going to be competing, whether it's in show or agility or hunter trials.
My Lab can't do conformation (she's spayed) but she is a strong competitor in Agility and in Hunting Retriever - and her even temperament and friendly disposition are big advantages when she's standing on the line with 10 or 12 other dogs.
Here she is at her first training session - note the preponderance of Labs (also note that she's the only one sitting - that's her brief obedience career showing through.)
I don't think I'd have a GSP unless I was going to train intensively. I originally set out to get a couch potato Lab, but this little high-flyer picked out my kids, so I got into all the trialing in self-defense. If I didn't give her a job to do, she would be miserable.
I've never seen a Poodle at a hunt test - although I'm sure somebody, somewhere is doing it.
Or, rather, I've never really cared for the name.
Seems to me that the sporting dogs aren't really hunting, they're just an accessory to help the human do the hunting.
It's the terriers and hounds that are the real hunting dogs.
Bummer. 81mm isn't gonna hack it. Got a friend with an M120 or a 105?
More realistic - for one thing, you handle your own gun (once you get out of Started, which is where we are now). For another, the dogs are allowed to "hunt the area" on the marks - in other words, they're really hunting, not just being handled to a blind.
The terriers can't be beat for earth dogs (I also ride to hounds, and terriers are a very necessary adjunct) but a terrier won't swim out and retrieve a duck that fell into the freezing cold water after you shot it . . .
"A well trained retriever is the hunter's best conservation tool." - motto of the Hunting Retriever Club.
My dog's very first mark:
Outgoing.
Incoming.
Delivering the goods.
