John Kerry on Hunting
George W. Bush ^ | July 10, 2004

Posted on 07/10/2004 3:38:53 PM PDT by RWR8189

"I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach. I track and move and decoy and play games and try to outsmart them. You know, you kind of play the wind. That's hunting," said Kerry.  (Craig Gilbert, "Bringing candidate to life," Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 7/5/04)

The Truth about John Kerry’s Record for Hunters

§         John Kerry has the highest rating on the Humane Scorecard sponsored jointly by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the Fund for Animals.  Both groups are firmly committed to ending hunting in this country. 

o       HSUS’ website says “sport hunting – the killing of wild animals as recreation – is fundamentally at odds with the values of a humane, just and caring society” (emphasis added). (www.hsus.org/ace/12035; viewed 7/5/04). 

o       Heidi Prescott, the National Director of the Fund for Animals, said in a 1995 speech that the Fund for Animals is “unalterably opposed to the killing of animals for sport” (emphasis added).  (Speech by Heidi Prescott to the 4th Annual Governors Symposium on North America’s Hunting Heritage, August 1995)

 

§         John Kerry was endorsed by and received an “A” rating from the League of Conservation Voters. This environmental extremist group supports anti-hunters in Congress.

 

§         Kerry also has a 100% voting record with the anti-gun Brady Campaign.

 

§         John Kerry received an “F” rating from the NRA and a “0%” rating from Gun Owners of America in their most recent rankings of legislators.

o       Kerry’s campaign says he agrees with the view that there is “no personal constitutional right, under the Second Amendment, to own or use a gun”.

o       Kerry made his feelings about hunters known when he said “I don’t want to be the candidate of the NRA in this country”.

 

§         Unlike 60% of the U.S. Congress, John Kerry is not, and has never been, a member of the Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus.  The Caucus describes its membership as “open to Congressmen and Senators who are sportsmen or who support the concept of sustained use and wildlife management, even if they do not themselves take to the fields and waters to fish, hunt or trap.”

 

§         Kerry, who has missed more than 2/3 of his Senate votes this year, came back to the Senate to help kill the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.  During the debate, he voted for Senator Kennedy’s amendment to the bill which would have outlawed many center-fire rifle cartridges that hunters regularly use.

 

§         John Kerry cosponsored the Roadless Area Conservation Act in the Senate with other enemies of hunters like Barbara Boxer, Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton.  The bill, if passed, would have greatly restricted access to our National Forest system by hunters, fishermen, and other recreational users.

A good photoshopper might produce a hit action sequence if he teams the girlish throw of John Edwards with the girlish and the grimacing, closed-eyed fumble picture of John Kerry...

I was kind of wondering what he hunts crawling around on his belly. I have done a little hunting myself, never crawled around on my belly. Is he hunting Indians?

In lower Michigan, rifle hunting is prohibited(deer). Slugs are required.

That said, who crawls on thier stomach looking for deer? Or turkey?

Besides the fact that he is a pisshole in the snow, what the h*ll is Kerry hunting when he describes his hunt this way:

"I go out with my trusty 12-gauge double-barrel, crawl around on my stomach. I track and move and decoy and play games and try to outsmart them. You know, you kind of play the wind. That's hunting,"

Hunting with his shotgun is for short ranges, usually birds. Birds don't scent, their visual acuity is what they rely on. The only thing Kerry is trying to outsmart is the American hunter and crawling on his belly is the best way he knows to obtain their vote.

What a dork.

He was chasing the wascally wabbit that attacked Jimmy Carter.

Nah, that's the newest series of 'sportsman' photos his handlers set up. There was an earlier series of them shot at an airport showing Effington tryin' to be 'just one of the guys.' They tossed a football to the idiot and he looked like he was fielding a radioactive 105mm cannon shell. He had genuine fear and incompetence written all over his face and he held his hands like a debutant girl wrestling with a jackhammer. Then they switched to baseball and got the same results.

A few weeks later, they shot this series and found a couple that made him look like he could catch something other than a cold.

I wouldn't use that picture. It makes him look like Barney Fife.

Aligators. You crawl on your belly wearing a green rubber suit while waving your feet back and forth, and making aligator mating sounds. You best make your first shot count.

or maybe he waits for someone else to fatally wound
something, and then blows it away as it spends it's
last few seconds on earth flopping away in the dust.

Maybe y'all could invite JF'ingK to a real hunt?

Maybe alligators?

Maybe his "trusty 12 gauge double-barrel" might get some mud stuck in the barrel?

Heh, heh, heh...

What the hell kind of hunting do you do like that with a SHOTGUN?

The only possible scenario I can imagine is if he was attempting to ground swat a covey of quail or grouse.

I would like to know what he was hunting, that he had to crawl.

Running mate hunting.

And you'll notice that when you do your hunting on your belly, you'll usually hook up with other snakes.
