INDIANAPOLIS - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is taking a second shot at describing his hunting experience.
The former Massachusetts governor has called himself a lifelong hunter, yet his campaign acknowledged that he has been on just two hunting trips — one when he was 15 and the other just last year.
Campaigning in Indianapolis on Thursday, Romney said he has hunted small game since his youth.
"I'm not a big-game hunter. I've made that very clear," he said. "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."
In Keene, N.H., on Tuesday, Romney had said: "I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life." The next day, the campaign said Romney hunted rabbits in Idaho with cousins as a teenager and shot quail with GOP donors at a game preserve in Georgia in 2006.
Campaign spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said Wednesday that Romney wasn't trying to mislead anyone, and he promoted Romney's support of gun-ownership rights.
Romney has also supported gun control. When he ran unsuccessfully for the Senate in 1994 he backed the Brady law and a ban on assault-style rifles. As governor, he supported the state's strict gun-control laws and signed into law one of the nation's tougher assault weapons laws.
He joined the National Rifle Association last August as a "Lifetime" member.
LOL...right. Even Romney doesn't try and make that wild claim.
I had him banned? I don't have that power; if I did, do you think you'd still be here?
IOW, you're getting FReepmail from Howlin and Registered, I take it.
Well, if I posted your personal information on this site, you’d succeed in getting me banned.
I’m honking!....I’ll take Mitt if Fred doesn’t run!
that’s funny!
Not so....we draw our own conclusions....really not that hard to do.
I think you're missing these, aren't you?
:-)
Yeah but that didn't stop you from supporting the skull bashing Brian Christine.
Lol!
I’m learning about Mitt; I was real surprised at all that money he raised.
True. I draw the conclusion that you're just another deceptive liberal who fits perfectly with Romney. Your choice of language about abortion gives you away.
What does that mean? I've never heard of anyone named Brian Christine.
TheLion, have you been fooling us all for the past nine years? Are you really a liberal?
Liberal is as liberal does. Supporting Romney or Giuliani is a liberal act.
Calm down, Anderson.
I’m perfectly calm.
Try to watch him speak....amazing. He is also very fast on his feet.
He is also one hell of a lot more conservative than the media and his detractors would have you believe.
I have a good Republican friend who lived in Mass under Mitt’s watch....he was amazed by what he accomplished in this liberal nightmare of a state.
Many insider Republicans have gotten on his bandwagon.
