He even trotted out some remembrances, recalling that in hunting with his cousins as a teenager, he struggled to kill rabbits with a single-shot .22-caliber rifle. When they lent him a semiautomatic, it got a lot easier, he said, drawing laughs from an appreciative crowd in Keene, N.H. The last time he went hunting, he said, was last year, when he shot quail in Georgia and “knocked down quite a few birds.”
“So I’ve been pretty much hunting all my life,” he said again.
But on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported that Mr. Romney had in fact been hunting only twice: once during that summer when he was 15 and spending time at a relative’s ranch in Idaho, and again on the occasion last year, a quail shoot at a fenced-in game preserve in Georgia with major donors to the Republican Governors Association.
On Thursday, with Mr. Romney facing reporters’ repeated questions about the A.P. account, his campaign was forced to address his hunting résumé. A campaign spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, said Mr. Romney had gone hunting repeatedly during his teenage summer at the ranch. Mr. Romney has also shot small game on his Utah property, said Mr. Fehrnstrom, who added that he did not know how often.

Notice that nobody knows where the "only hunted twice" story came from. It just happend to be the hitpiece on romney that the AP decided to run on that particular wednesday. They took the story he told about two instances when he went hunting and painted them as being the only times he went hunting ever. And now we have mr. Chad D. Baus writing opinion pieces based on a false story that was disproved months ago. And that's how it goes.
thanks for that...we have to wade through so many lies just to get to some simple truths. The darkside is always busy weaving it’s lies through unwitting dupes. And I didn’t know that Mitt actually works for a company that’s related to Marriott hotels . More twists and turns!
