I am completely against hunters/hunting and any other "human" methods of
torturing/killing animals.
 
BUT:
 
Against Bush? In a heartbeat!!!! The president and vice president are
hunter's, without any of the so called ethic's and morals of the
hunting world! 

 VP Cheney participated in a canned hunt! Bush used to take midnight
horse rides with his friends, to shoot frogs on his ranch in Texas. It
was "entertainment" for the idiots!!!!

Check out the links below. If you read nothing else, this first article
by the HSUS and the second on the  ABC NEWS.com site are must
reads (***.)

***Cheney's Canned Kill, and Other Hunting Excesses of the Bush
Administration

The private excesses of Cheney are bad enough, and worthy of The HSUS's
rebuke. But it's the public policy excesses that are of even greater
concern to me. 

Cheney's hunting trip strikes me as emblematic of the Bush
Administration's callousness towards the earth's animals. 

The administration's most outrageous proposal is its plan to allow
trophy hunters to shoot endangered species in other countries and import
the trophies and hides into the United States. 

The administration first floated the proposal a few months ago, with
formal proposals subsequently published in the Federal Register, and
President Bush is expected to make a final decision soon on the plan,
which originated with his U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 

The plan is transparent on its face. It's not aimed to help species, but
to aid special interests who want to profit from the exploitation of
wildlife. No group is more centrally involved in this miserable plan
than Safari Club International, the world's leading trophy hunting
organization and an entity with close ties to the Bush Administration.

***Hunting: A Big Game
Questions About Elite Hunting Club Member's Ties to Smithsonian
 
Behring is a top member of a little known but well-connected group
called the Safari Club International, an organization committed to
wildlife "conservation" — and to hunters' rights. Among the Safari
Club's 42,000 members are many well-known figures, including Gen. Norman
Schwarzkopf and former President Bush, an honorary lifetime member. 

But for all its powerful connections, some say the Safari Club's system
of awards and honors laid out in its trophy guidebooks has fostered a
kind of trophy madness among some of its wealthiest members.  

A hunting guide at a Safari Club convention called Behring "a real
Indiana Jones." With more than 125 kills recorded in the official trophy
record book, he is also "the largest donor to the Safari Club
International," says Pacelle. 

"They're racing against one another to kill more animals, rarer animals
and bigger animals so they can be first in the trophy guidebook … and
say, 'I shot one that's bigger than yours,'" says Pacelle, who adds that
the Safari Club has in fact offered trophies for killing animals that
are considered endangered or threatened.  

"They want to kill the biggest and the rarest of the animals because
that allows them to ascend higher in the fraternity of big-time game
hunters," he says.

In addition, federal authorities say the quest for such trophies has
become so great that it helps to drive an illegal black market.  

For example,   undercover videotape — as part of a two-year federal
investigation of a ring that arranges for rare, exotic animals to be
killed for trophies — obtained by PrimeTime Thursday captured a rare
animal locked in the back of a trailer and then shot and killed — so
its trophy head and hide would be undamaged by the rigors of a hunt,
according to authorities. 

The skinners waited while the animal slowly died.

GOP image-groomers are working overtime to show voters the tender,
caring side of Vice President Cheney. But feathered creatures still
might want to keep their distance.  

We told you in December how Cheney killed an estimated 70 ring-necked
pheasants in a single morning at a hunt club in Pennsylvania. According
to reports, Cheney and a nine-man entourage, which included NFL Hall of
Famer Roger Staubach, bagged 417 of the 500 birds released in a "canned
hunt."

Bush Hunts, Fishes For Votes
Check out the pic's of the president on this site!

The president leaned over to tell Tomke how much he enjoys hunting on
the Texas Gulf Coast, where green-headed mallards and pintails flock
every autumn. Tomke, in turn, reminded Bush that 22,000 hunters were
among the 133,000 Americans who filed protests to a Bush administration
wetlands plan that could have cleared the way for developers to bulldoze
23 million acres of fragile wetlands. 

Four days later, the administration announced the president had
personally decided "not to issue a rule that could reduce" federal
wetlands protection, including smaller parcels important to wildlife
called "isolated" wetlands.

************************************************
Would you vote for a murder of animals and humans (our soldiers are
dying in Iraq) with no ethics, conscience, or even the ability to know
right from wrong??? 

A person who favors big business and special interest groups (hunters,
fisherman, NRA, etc) over the rest of society???
 
Vote your conscience.
 
I truly hope people do vote their conscience, then we will be free of
the suppression of the current administration!
