Dear Candidate, please do not grab a gun and shoot an innocent
animal just to prove your "capability" to lead the nation.

Kerry tried it, appeared ridiculous and did not sway any NRA member.

Thank you.

2. Shoot a lawyer instead and then do a shooter while they're putting him in ambulance

Without their weapons, the birds could kick their asses.

6. I have to agree.
I have no issue with hunting. I think it has to be done, and bear no ill will toward those who help feed their families doing it. I think killing for sport is disrespectful and have little empathy for those who do it.

I was raised on a small ranch and the idea of killing for one's own food is something I understand. But to kill something just because you CAN? It's reprehensible.

I'm recommending this thread. It's the first recommend, but I hope it gets more. This is a message I'd dearly like to send to our candidates. Thanks for bringing it up.

7. Kicked and Recommended
The one exception I would make is that I'd particularly like to see Huckabee go hunting with Dick Cheney!

9. If I had to live through 4 years of his "jokes"--
good God. Well, I haven't watched or heard a single press conference, speech, or radio address of Chimpy's since 2000. What's another few years of my personal Presidential media blackout? (sigh)

10. We Wouldn't Make it 4 Years
Huckabee would try to bring on the "Rapture" by pushing that shiny red button on his desk.
