Barack Obama Should Fish for Votes Among Hunters and Sportsmen

Do not think these assassins Hunters are stopping the spread of disease in humane ways, because they are not. In fact while they are in their murder frenzy, they even kill animals that are not diseased. The fact is they have no idea which ones are and which ones aren’t.
If these so called NOBEL hunters truly cared about animal welfare, they would use a tranquilizer gun, test each animal for disease and then put each ill creature to sleep by euthanasia.
When a hunter says that they love and care about the animals they kill and that they want to ensure their compliance with the careful game management plans to ensure their survival. They do not realize how hypocritical they are.
A person would not kill or hunt the things they love. To hunt and kill the things you love for any reason is mentally and emotionally unsound it is also very foolish. A hypocrite is a person who pretends to have virtue and moral principles, that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie their stated beliefs. To Love means having a strong devotion, admiration, affection and tenderness while to kill and hunt is to terrorize, harm and cause death.
When you kill you destroy and put an end to the vital or active qualities of a living being and when you hunt, you invade a beings space while chasing, terrorizing and pursuing them with the intent to capture and sometimes kill. Hunting and killing is not loving nor is it caring. To care is to have regard, concern, and consideration for something in distress. to care is to protect, defend and tenderly attend to.
Nature takes care of her own without the interference of man. Hunters ensure nothing. Animals need someone to ensure their survival against hunters, not against nature.

To defend, promote and endorse hunting is to defend, promote and endorse cruelty and murder.
It is a very disturbing sight to see an animal suffer and although hunters agree on not injuring an animal unless they can administer a one shot painless kill, they cannot guarantee this and in fact it is very rare that any hunter can kill an animal with just one shot.
It is a known fact that many animals suffer prolonged, painful deaths when they are injured and not instantly killed by hunters. It is very difficult to instantly kill an animal as large as a deer, bear, elk or moose. Many hunters must shoot the animal two and three times before death occurs. This of course causes the animal great distress and suffering, not to mention how the act of chasing and stalking an animal disrupts migration and hibernation patterns and destroys families.
For animals like wolves, who mate for life and live in close-knit family units, hunting can devastate entire communities. The stress that hunted animals suffer caused by fear and the inescapable loud noises and other commotion that hunters create—also severely compromises their normal eating habits, making it hard for them to store the fat and energy that they need in order to survive the winter.
It seems obvious that hunters do not reflect on their deeds for if they did, they would cease their path of violence, cruelty, suffering and destruction.
Many hunters sit on the sidelines with man made weapons while waiting to go into territory that they have no right being in, all so that they can play God and eliminate what every species they feel might be trying to take over the land and food supply that human beings have claimed for themselves.
Some hunters even wait to murder dying, wounded and starving animals all in an effort to put them out of their misery and suffering while stopping the spread of disease, but the truth of this is if the hunter truly cared about the animal, they would bring food into woods to feed them and spend their money on tranquilizer guns to relocate them to safer more bountiful land, while also taking them to veterinarian wildlife preservations for health care and survival.
It is obvious that hunters do not show animals the same courtesy or respect that they show human beings and this is wrong. When there is a human over population and plagues Human beings are allowed to die by nature. They are not hunted down and executed by false righteous eager assassins.
Hunters Play God.
Although they did not create the lives they take they feel they have the right to limit animal population and the right to stop animal diseases from spreading and wiping out entire herds, In other words, they are interfering with evolution and the natural order by going on a murder spree and shooting designated animals with bullets and cross bows, Instead of allowing nature to handle her own as they do for human life.
Do not think these assassins are stopping the spread of disease in humane ways, becaus

Obama for sportsman - now there is a classic oxymoron!

I"ll pass on Obama and Biden.You would think the Democrats would do better.

Obama may say that he supports some gun rights, but remember he supported the DC gun ban. Don't trust him. McPain and Bitem also has a gun grabbing tendencies. Palin is the only trustworthy one in the bunch.

The phrase "supports the second amendment" doesn't mean the same thing to a politician as it does to a person. To Mr Obama this phrase does NOT mean that people can be allowed to have the rights they are accustomed to in most of the country. He has consistently said that we need "reasonable" gun laws. On campaign stops were he thinks gun owners won't be listening he says that a wide ranging and permanent "assault rifle" ban is reasonable. He has consistently said that the laws in Chicago and the old DC ban (complete bans on any type of carry, bans on handguns and strict storage requirements) are reasonable. Don't be fooled by political double talk. Barack Obama's ideas of "reasonable" don't match with sportsmen or with the constitution.

"Listen to yourselves! The man fully supports the Supreme Court upholding the right to bear arms. Truth is, you just don't want him elected for other reasons you'd rather keep hidden behind an absurd gun argument. Introspection...try it and you'll know that I'm right! How sad..."
Yeah, he only did so AFTER the Heller decision, and only CLAIMS to support it. In November Obama stated that he believed that the D.C. gun bans were Constitutional. Bans that DENY the INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms! Plus, if nObama is so strongly pro second ammendment why did'nt he sign the congressional brief urging that the DC gun law be overturned by the Supreme Court? 55 Senators and 250 members of the House signed it. Obama was NOT one of them. Neither was Biden. (McCain signed it)
What nObama SAYS dos'nt mean squat, his actions show where he truly stands. He's only been "pro gun" since he started running for POTUS. His past actions have all been rabidly anti-second ammendment.
Obama's wiping his ass with the Constitution is enough reason to not want him as POTUS so your hint that there may be "other reasons you'd rather keep hidden behind an absurd gun argument" dos'nt fly here.
