No second chance after supporting the Assault Weapons Ban.

Did your hubby supprt the Brady ban?

Anyone who doesn’t go around murdering animals on a regular basis and then claims he does, does not get my vote.

It could be that he had a "Bambi encounter" as a youth where he was confronted face to face by a sweet Bambi-like doe and just couldn't bring himself to retrace those steps until these "Latter-day" years.

He may have a genu-ine case of BAS "Bambi Aim Syndrome" but remained a good HINO (Hunter in Name Only) all these years thru a rich hunters' fantasy life.

Maybe he’s a “closet hunter”

Then he can tell us all about it October 11, right before the election!

This guy's starting to remind me of John Kerry. The guy just can't tell the truth. (By the way, don't forget to read my tagline) lol. He probably was an all-start receiver in college too:

I spent last weekend hunting for my car keys. The weekend befire, it was my wallet. Do these count on my resume?

[toddlintown]

befire=before

Is it true that a movement is afoot to call off the Republican primaries and substitute a target shooting contest?

[redgirlinabluestate]

Did your hubby supprt the Brady ban?

No, but he did enjoy the Brady Bunch as a child. ~:-)

[Recovering_Democrat]

America's reaction?

Does the guy support the 2nd Amendment? If so, the rest is applesauce.

The problem that keeps tripping Romney up is his credibility gap. After the Kerry “Can Ah git me a huntin’ license here” fiasco, you would think that any politician who does not have a hunting background would stay away from the issue. Running as a conservative after compiling a basically liberal public record is difficult to begin with, but this gaffe, like others Romney has made (reaction to Ann Coulter’s “fag” remarks, for example), make him seem like another sleazy politician and a faux conservative. I do not like Giuliani, but at least he does not pretend to be something he is not, i.e., a conservative. Romney may have the money to play in the big leagues, but he lacks the skills.

My dyslexic has nothing to do with my IQ any more did it had to with such people as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Auguste Rodin, George Patton, and Woodrow Wilson were apparently dyslexic. Dyslexia is therefore considered as a sign of genius

[DangerDanger]

I agree. Rather than actually being conservative, Romney is trying to act how he thinks a conservative would act.

I’m pretty damned libertarian for the most part, but my libertarianism tilts way to the right - and it cracks me up to see these guys try to fake it.

Point taken regarding Rudy G, as well. Not a fan, but he is who and what he is - take it or leave it.

[DBrow]

Ha ha that would be fun!

I do think that a clear, consistent commitment to RKBA and gun rights should be a party plank, though, or have RNC come out and say it’s not an issue for the party any more.

Candidates who don’t support RKBA should say so rather than try to convince us that in spite of everything they’ve done and said in the past, they really really believe in RKBA, why, they even own a gun themselves!

[mrhansen]

The problem is he doesn’t support the Second Amendment.

What kind of hunter? Money hunter? Vote hunter? Publicity hunter? Mushroom hunter?

We can all claim to hunting something.
The addition of a firearm changes the type of hunt considerably.

[isom35]

wow, 2 times? My gosh how does he remember all those?

[nowandlater]

Hey, Mitt wasn’t bragging. He said he is far from what one would called a avid hunter. Show me the direct quotes. The media likes to distort what he says.

[DBrow]

You have to be vewy vewy kwiet when hunting mushrooms....
