BIG game. (Just ax the impeached *Squirt)

I’m amazed how many freepers fall for this hit piece by the AP....sworn to be our friend.

"I've been huntin' varmints all my life. That's right. Down by the cement pond. Grannie cooked 'em up. Yep. Right tasty, you betcha!"

And what is sad is he is one of the declared front runners. We are scraping the barrel.

This is going to be a long campaign. By next February the Clinton/Obama ticket will be singing Kumbaya, and the Republican Eight will still be preening and competing to see who can appear most conservative while still attracting the moderate voters.

Perhaps he can buy a used hunting costume from John Kerry.

“I’ve always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will. I began when I was 15 or so and I have hunted those kinds of varmints since then. More than two times.”

Someone buy him a clue. Most “Hunters” don’t classify rabbits as varmints.

[Parley Baer]

Hey, he knows what a varmit hunter is. Better than most.

[EternalVigilance]

Who hunts rodents?

Now if he said he was a Rodham trapper, ..;-)

“Republican Eight will still be preening and competing to see who can appear most conservative while still attracting the moderate voters.”

That’s the problem with some of them. However, there is a couple that state their position regardless of the conservative flap, Giuliani and McCain. Which leads me to believe that if they don’t get their party’s nomination, they would run as an independent in the general. This is McCain’s and Guilianis last go around anyway. Why throw in the towel if they feel sooooooo close to winning? Heck Bill Clinton became president with only 46% of the popular vote because of “Ears” Perot.

[Beagle8U]

I guess Mitt does?...lol

[EternalVigilance]

Them Rodham’s is hard to trap. Cankles is so large they slip right out...

[EternalVigilance]

Maybe he hunts R.O.U.S. [Rodents of Unusual Size]

[gnarledmaw]

It sounds to me like he was coached to use the term “varmint hunting” to explain his apparent lack of “big game” experience, lost the phrase briefly, then tried to recover. I dont believe a varminter would have lost the term.

[MinuteGal]

This is such a stupid article that its bound to get 15,000 posted comments.......like the Anna Nickelodeon Smith threads.

I don’t know. I think he needs to shut up about hunting until he gets some better handlers that can explain it to him. The terms he is using makes him sound foolish.

[silentreignofheroes]

Loose lips sink ships’’

to coin a phrase..

I don’t accept he premise that unless you regularly hunt, you can’t back the 2nd amendment. I know of friends who own guns to hunt two legged creatures, that is if they ever want to play home invasion at their house, and they don’t hunt.
