What was with this? I had no idea Kerry hunted, Not only that but he bagged a goose??? I would have NEVER Pictured him as a hunter! (Not that that's a bad thing)

1. Careful.

A lot of people don't like hunting, believe me.

8. I hate hunting....

but I would rather see a pile of doggie-doo-doo in the oval office than the cow turd that is in there now.

2. He's always said he's hunted

It's just the right-wing media that like to overlook this fact so they can say he wants to ban guns .

3. Thought

it was a pheasant...saw the clip on the early CNN bit......

they managed to squeeze the pic of Kerry hunting amongst the NRA commercial....

4. He's been a hunter for almost 50 years, since he was a boy.

He also eats what he kills as an ethical huntsman.

Deer meat is great.

7. Print up these photos

And give them to every member of the building trades you know. This is where we lose them, and where we can bring them back.

Bush will take away your right to organize (or, hell, your JOB) before Kerry would ever take your guns.

And you can't afford a gun if you don't have a job.

9. My family was full of poachers.

I have never known an honest hunter. That doesn't mean, however, that there are none.

Lots of painful memories of actual torturing of animals has turned me off hunting forever, unless I must do it to survive. This is a personal choice.

I will still vote for Kerry, though. As long as I continue to eat meat, it would be hypocritical for me to condemn all hunters. Life feeds on life. Trophy hunting, however, is not OK by me.
