Dude!

Genuine hunting is one thing - - it’s natural for man - - but hunting as a political gimmick is sickening.

Note: the one flying is a rooster but the one he is holding is a hen. Illegal where I come from.

Congrats Mike.

I can hardly wait to see how this is made fun of and distorted.

[JohnnyZ]

Awesome contrast with Romney. Kudos to the Huckabee campaign — that’s the contrast they need to push to hang on for a win. I wonder whose idea it was?

“Thou shalt not k. . .wait, I think I’ve got a clear shot here”

LOL!

Agreed. Although at least he hit the pheasant. I suspect any of the other candidates would have to be shown how to load the gun.

Did he eat it?

Anybody that votes for someone for bagging a pheasant is no smarter than a pheasant.

I am tired of this pandering.

[Fawn]

no, it’s not natural. It used to be a need....not anymore.

[SERKIT]

This reminds me of the John F’n Kerry hunting photo op, but then again Cheney’s mishap also comes to mind. Is this kind of thing helpful in a campaign?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Game farm hunts allow hens, in most states. So this wasn’t really hunting....it was a staged shoot.

Nice catch on the hen...

[BlueStateBlues]

Exactly. Remember when Kerry made an donkey’s behind (oh yeah, that’s the dim’s symbol so why not?) of himself by going hunting in Ohio. He looked foolish, and it may have actually cost him some votes.

Haven’t seen the video on Hucklebee. Any less foolish, or did he pull it off well?

Impeach him, we need hearings now , this is a constitutional crisis!!

[inkling]

Is this any way to choose a president?!

"Hi Iowa Voter, what do you think about Mike Huckabee's positions on the War on Terror, economic policy, government's role in society, Iranian and Syrian nuclear proliferation and immigration?"

"I dunno. But he shot a bird. That was cool."

[OCCASparky]

"Can I get me one of them thar huntin licenses?"

Now where have I heard that before???

No Huckabee fan here but at least he is a real hunter and didn't have his game shot for him and carried back by his butler like John Kerry did.

They have already have and no doubt Rush will run with it as he did with a quote from an anonoymous poster at Atlantic Magazine.
