For me she will not. A hunter. I would never vote for a hunter. Pro-life will not get my vote either.
Being both a hunter and pro-life doesn't make any sense to me at all.
How you can look an innocent animal in the face and blow it's heart out :(:(:(:( that is murder.

You equate harvesting a game animal with murder. That is so insane, I really can't put it in words. MURDER. That tells me that hunters should be arrested and put in jail. Is that what you really think? REALLY?

FWIW, hunting is about WAY, WAY more than the kill. You clearly have no idea what it is about and I doubt you ever care to. Before you truly HATE something, you should learn the truth about it.


Oh and get ready to cry, alot. LOL Dove season opens on Monday. Then, Deer and Fall Turkey's not long after that. :love:

Yeah, that damn freedom and our ability to keep OUR money.

This board is SO entertaining.

I had a feeling this topic would draw some interesting comments. I am not enjoying some of the tones, but it is in Dog House, where it belongs. I hope everyone will remain civil.

And I hope everyone will vote! :eek:

I'll try, mom. LOL


But hey, politics is a contact sport. Sometimes you get a bruise. Just like life SHOULD be. Sadly too many people feel that 'somebody' should keep them safe, warm, fed etc... That 'somebody' is YOURSELF. Not me, not the government... Of course in times of trouble we all need somewhere to turn. That is what family, church, clubs, community is for.

I know I sometimes come across as harsh and well, usually I mean to. But I am very passionate about these things. Spent to many years in crappy places fighting for this country to allow certain people to piss away all the freedom bought with blood.

All this being said, I would love to have a beer with anybody in this debate. I am sure we could have a great time, as long as we don't talk about this. LOL

Possibly being terribly British here, but ....

Why should political rivals 'fear' the other's candidates? What on earth is politics like over there? :confused:

"Something smaller than a pea." Well, that 'pea' has its own DNA. Your arguement almost sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that abortion is not murder. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif

Eesh, did you step out the door with your left foot this morning? :rolleyes: There was no need to reply that rudely to Marigold.

I am pro-choice too when it comes to abortion. I believe a very young foetus is not truly 'alive' until it can experience senses, particularly pain. OK, it has DNA. So does every nucleus in every cell of the human body. I don't feel terrible if I shake my head and wipe out tens of thousand of them in the space of a few seconds.

It is far more cruel to bring an unwanted child into the world, or risk the life/health of the mother in birth, than to abort the pregnancy early on.

Anything you kill when hunting has DNA, if that is so significant to you.

I am vegetarian, so please hold the 'it's-no-different-to-eating-a-beefburger-so-don't-be-hypocritical', in case anyone would like to voice that. ;)

It takes a little man to demand a woman to cry. A really little man. I'm really surprised you added that.

Hmm, interesting comment. Nope, she'd still be a woman.

What is the age limit for THE SECTION at the back of the video rental store?

ON second thought, you should have that keyboard washed out with soap.
-----------------------------------

LOL, things were civil until woman was mentioned, then the fit hit the shan. That's reallly telling. People let themselves be swayed by an orator with 'rock star good looks'. When a candidate shows up that does have resume and we know about every core value she has in 5 minutes, she's a
a hack, a political ploy and everything that woman are against.

Maybe the kitchen and bedroom are proper places after all.:(:rolleyes:

Two people separated by a common language. LOL

"Fear", as in be worried about. As in she will be a factor that will cause Obama's supporters heartburn because she is that good.

Sheesh.

My turn to roll my eyes at you.

:rolleyes:

I said own DNA, as in different. As in different DNA than the mother. Thus, to me, it is a separate human life and not just a 'gob of cells' inside the mother. And come on... Give me a LITTLE bit of credit. Or, should I thank you for pointing out the glaringly obvious?

As for the crying thing.... Well, nearly everybody here thinks I am some kind of monster, so I will just play my part.

Why do so many people on this BB take everything to literally? Can none of you see sarcasm? Or only when it is the kind said during something you agree with?

Maybe many of us just don't like sarcasm!

I appreciate the fact that everyone has their point to get across, but the more civilized we are the less off track we get.

We all know that you are smart. What I find difficult to understand is why you must spoil that with sarcasm.

Just my opinion. Doesn't make me right!

I get it that you are (right now) a Republican.

Who knows for sure but the voters of this fine country. Everyone seems to be preaching we need to get rid of the old & bring in the new. Well, I would call this really bringing in the NEW. :D

What is it that you would like credit for? Your opinions? Or that you don't equate cells of the body to a very young foetus?

As for the sarcasm thing, I used sarcasm right here.

So yes, thank you, I like and do understand the concept of sarcasm. :D

Maybe my sarcasm and your sarcasm are different, because all I saw in your reply to Marigold was spite.

The monster thing - is it supposed to make me feel sorry for you? :confused: I was quite vexed by that. It's a shame you feel you have to present yourself in that way. People meeting me in person for the first time could, and have, gotten the impression that I'm common and not much more than a young face. It doesn't mean I try to conform to that image that is so opposite to the real me. Sorry, but you lost me on that one.

I will now back out this thread for I have no further contribution on the trials and tribulations of US politics, and I don't want to get too off topic from the OP.

Agreed :D

People complain that life long politicians are corrupt and we need people who haven't yet been corrupted by the "system". then they complain that people who aren't yet corrupted by the system aren't experienced enough.

Which is it?

I'm willing to try someone new. Can't get any worse than the choices we do have or have had in recent past. I think we've pretty much hit political "rock bottom"

Yes, that's what I wonder. Why do people complain about Barak Obama not being experienced enough?

You are a Brit! Why should you be concerned about how we Americans vote or feel about our candidates? This is a free country we all have our separate opinions to the issues at hand & will vote accordingly when the time comes. May the best qualified black, white, male, female, democat, republican, WIN. Oh I love my country the U. S. A. Land of the free home of the brave!!!

I dont know. I haven't and I don't know anyone who has used that as a reasoning not to vote for him. So I couldn't tell you.
