…many, many people repeated the lies that Gore “would take away their guns…all their guns…and stop hunting!”
Now even a yellow-dog Democrat might vote Republican if he thinks you are going to take away his guns and his right to get away from it all in the woods.
Does Bush have an appreciation of fine fire-arms and a basic knowledge of woodsmanship? I rather doubt it! But he probably knows a lot about Wild Turkey. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)The following letter came from:

A Letter on Clark, Hunting, and Kansas
Though I live in the fount of elitist liberal pointy-headedism (boston), I agree with Matthew on this.
As an English teacher, writer, avid hunter (not a
member of the NRA),and Kansas resident, I wanted to
pass along an observation I made during Jean
Carnahan’s campaign.
Yes, I know, she ran in Missouri; however, she put a
line out about her interest in hunting–not in
automatic guns, and the rhetoric eventually evolved
into bumper stickers: Sportsmen for Carnahan and
Outdoorsmen for Carnahan.
Carnahan may have lost, but she drew many
outdoorsmen–including young republicans–into her
camp with the message. I’m a democrat, but I hunt, and
I want to keep hunting. In talking to those around
me–the other hunters/conservative outdoorsman, the
same issue surfaces. These voters are not rednecks,
but they will side with Bush if the message isn’t clear.
Keep at it.
Best regards,
Matthew A. Carolan
