Ryan goes hunting for support in Ohio at annual sportsmen's banquet

COLUMBUS, Ohio – On the opening day of bow hunting season in Ohio, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan addressed a large group of sportsmen in the battleground state proclaiming he is a hunting and fishing enthusiast.

“Our opening day (in Wisconsin) was two weeks ago. I’ve got some stands out in the woods, but they’re not going to see me this year. And you know why? Because we are going to give this country a choice,” Ryan told the crowd, speaking at the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance’s 16th Annual Save Our Heritage Banquet.

Later, he talked about taking his three children fishing.

“Teaching your kid how to take a night crawler and split it into about five pieces and put it on the hook ... make sure they don’t cut their hand when they push the gill down, take it off the hook. That’s a good life lesson. These are the things we teach our kids as hunting and fishing enthusiasts,” Ryan said about he and his wife, Janna.


The former chairman of the Congressional Sportsmen Caucus -- which Ryan described as the largest bipartisan caucus in Congress -- turned partisan midway through his speech expressing concern about another term for President Barack Obama.

“I shudder as a gun owner, seeing his [Obama’s] record when he was in the Illinois state Senate. What would he do if he never has to face the voters ever again? These are the kinds of questions we think about,” Ryan told the roughly 1,000-person crowd.

The attacks on the Obama-Biden ticket didn’t stop there as Ryan read word for word a response to Vice President Joe Biden’s comments Friday in Florida hitting the GOP ticket on Social Security and Medicare.

“Let me be very clear: There is only one person in this race threatening the health and retirement security programs of our seniors, and that is President Obama. There is only one person in this race insisting on raising taxes and that is President Obama,” the Wisconsin congressman said.

He went on to promise: “Mitt Romney and I will never waiver in our commitment to our seniors. Our plans actually save these programs, they make no changes for people in or near retirement, they strengthen Medicare and Social Security for a generation.”

Biden claimed in Boca Raton on Friday that a President Romney would not help the middle class.

“Well, if Governor Romney’s plan goes into effect, it could mean that everyone, everyone of you, would be paying more on taxes on your Social Security. The average senior would have to pay $460 a year more in taxes for their Social Security,” Biden said. “Ladies and gentlemen, that’s why these guys, while these guys are out there having hemorrhaging tax cuts for the super wealthy.”

The event Saturday evening marks Ryan’s 13th campaign appearance in the state since being chosen as Romney’s running mate. He was presented with a shotgun made in Ohio but because of congressional ethics rules asked to have the gift be made part of the event's silent auction. 

Ryan readies for 3-day debate camp

Before heading to the annual banquet, Ryan stopped at a popular sports bar just a few hundred yards away from Ohio State University to watch the Buckeyes play the Michigan State Spartans in East Lansing. He was joined by his wife plus his old college roommate from Miami University of Ohio, Tom Blackstone.

The surprise visit at The Varsity Club -- during which the VP nominee enjoyed a Miller Lite and shook hands with many patrons -- comes at a time when the Romney-Ryan ticket seems to be falling behind in the battleground state of Ohio.

According to a recent Washington Post poll of the state, Obama leads Romney there 52 percent to 41 percent.

Some have argued Ohio’s Republican Gov. John Kasich has not helped the GOP ticket enough as he likes to boast the state’s success in creating jobs. Saturday night, speaking before Ryan at the sportsmen banquet, he again gave his state rave reviews. 

“Folks as I walked around through the audience here, a lot of nice people saying, ‘You know, things are getting better.’ They are getting better. You know we are up 123,000 jobs in our state and that’s good news,” Kasich said. “I will say this to you: If at times I’ve got to take some heat, that’s OK because it is my job to build a stronger Ohio. Forget all the politics. Man to man, man to woman, this is all about making our state strong, and you know what, we’ve got what it takes.”

Ryan heads to Connecticut and New York for the next two days to raise money before heading to Iowa on a two-day bus tour of the Hawkeye State.

Today they post an article about killing wild horses for meat.

Hey, MSNBC, how about reporting real news, like about whether the Obama administration tried to hide the facts about the Libya terror attack that left an American ambassador (and three other Americans) dead!

Or maybe report about Obama's attempt to hide huge layoffs by urging defense contractors not to warn their workers of layoffs, despite defense cuts which will lead these companies to slash hundreds of thousands of workers in the coming months! And the Obama administration will pay for their legal fees!?

OBAMA WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO GET REELECTED!

FOX NEWS:

The Obama administration has doubled down on its plea to defense contractors not to warn employees about possible layoffs due to looming budget cuts -- going so far as to offer to cover legal fees in compensation challenges.

The move drew a stern rebuke Friday from South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune, since federal law requires employers to give notice if mass layoffs are likely.

"For the second time, the Obama administration has now encouraged government contractors to ignore the WARN Act and hold off on warning employees about possible layoffs due to the looming sequestration cuts,” Thune, lead author of the Sequestration Transparency Act, said Friday.

The offer to pay the legal fees was included in a memorandum issued by the administration Friday that also restated the Labor Department's position from July that contractors should not issue written notices to employees because of the "uncertainty" over the across-the-board cuts to the defense budget and other federal spending that will occur Jan. 2 unless Congress reaches a new deal.

The notices are required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and generally require employers with more than 100 employees to provide 60-day notices of "mass layoffs if they are reasonably foreseeable."

The interesting part of the article dwells on the fact that the Governor of Ohio isn't going to throw Romney a bone by whining about how terrible things are in his state and how President Obama is such a meanie. Instead he says, “I will say this to you: If at times I’ve got to take some heat, that’s OK because it is my job to build a stronger Ohio. Forget all the politics. Man to man, man to woman, this is all about making our state strong, and you know what, we’ve got what it takes.”

Rangewolf,

The gangbangers who are shooting each other view this as a sport. The laws, and the police are just things that get in the way of their sport.

They do tend to kill their own, so they self eliminate.

This stimulates the health care industry, the law enforcement workers, and of course the funeral industry. Try to look at the positive side of everything.

You're the one who doesn't know WTF you are talking about!!!!

How does a fifteen-year-old obtain a Cobray M-11/9 at a price of $300 from a federally licensed dealer?[6] Much too easily.

Nicholas pestered a second cousin into taking him to Guns Unlimited, a store Nicholas asked for by name.[7] At Guns Unlimited, Nicholas interacted with the salesman, asking to see particular guns and asking about muzzle velocity and comparative power.[8] Nicholas' cousin left him with the salesman and wandered around the store alone as the other two became increasingly involved in their conversation.[9]

Shortly thereafter, and in plain view of the salesman, Nicholas passed $ 300 in [Page 594] cash to his cousin. The cousin then purchased the semiautomatic Cobray 9, a gun derivative of one designed for Latin American guerrillas.[10] In practical terms, the significance of this design amounts to low cost, easy concealment, and a propensity for "mow-'em-down military use."[11]

Nicholas' cousin filled out the federally required purchaser form, Form 4473.[12] The salesman, a firefighter and former police officer, told the cousin that all questions on the form should be answered "no."[13] Form 4473 acts as the basic enforcement tool of the federal Gun Control Act's[14] limits on gun purchases. As the cousin completed the form and the sale, Nicholas removed the gun from the sale[15] counter. When Nicholas and his cousin left Guns Unlimited, fifteen-year-old Nicholas carried the gun.[16] Interestingly enough, the federal Gun Control Act prohibits gun sales to persons under twenty-one years of age.[17]

Nicholas' possession of this gun led to the death of schoolteacher Karen Farley.[18] Police found her body an hour and a half after the pastor's apprehension of Nicholas.[19] Nicholas sent bullets through her forearm and torso.[20] After she had fallen to the ground, Nicholas continued to fire upon her.[21]

In this scene from "Arming the Mexican Cartels," correspondent Christof Putzel goes undercover at a gun show in Texas, just a few miles over the border from Juarez, Mexico, which has been dubbed the "murder capital of the world." In about 30 minutes, Christof and a local Vietnam veteran are able to purchase enough weapons from private re-sellers to outfit a small gang.

Regarding Ryan's plan to destroy Medicare As We Know It...Ryan and other Republicans argue that Medicare is not sustainable and needs reform.

In fact these 'reformers' are correct in aa sense that Medicare is not so sustainable - but you know why? Because of Bush's reform in 2003.

Bush signed Medicare prescription drug benefits law in 2003, giving corporations billions of dollars of subsidies that corporations don't need. How: since the government - the largest drug buyer in the world - can't negotiate prescription drug prices, this is a giveaway of unfair profits to corporations that have charged more to the government. This law has thus added billions of dollars to deficits each year, also has made MediCare not-so-competitive, raising drug costs, weakening this government program (Medicare).

So, Republican reforms made Medicare not so sustainable, then it's also the Republicans that have cried about it.

Do you see the hypocrisy? Remember also there have been babyboomers retiring in greater numbers too after the Bush reform.

There is no crisis facing Medicare. Mr. Ryan, keep your hands off Medicare.

More people die in car accidents than are killed by people with guns.

Obama's real agenda has nothing to do with the Democrat party... he is in the process of distributing Americas wealth to the rest of the world and bankrupting the country is a big part of that plan.

Restricting domestic oil production whilst promoting oil production in our neighbors to the south is a very efficient means of starting the process of distributing our wealth... the largest transfer of wealth in history is from America to the Middle East for oil... and he knows it.

His fathers ultimate dream was of a communist state with 100% income taxes... see 2016 Obama's America or just GOOGLE 100% income tax Obama if you doubt the assertion.

Obama cares as much about Democrats as Democrats care about... me.

The first step in instituting ultra high income taxes is bankrupting the country with ultra high spending, borrowing and distribution of wealth within and without of the boarders.

By the way "ObamaCare" only insures you on paper...

Real insurance is something more like... enough doctors, nurses and medical facilities for everyone at affordable prices... something that only competition can bring about in a free market... adding middlemen and bureaucracy to the system whilst lowering earnings expectations for doctors and medical institutions has the opposite effect... ie less heath care availability at higher prices.

Biden is unfit to be the president of the United states.

Biden is unfit to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

The man, any man, who would choose Biden to be the vice president...

Obama is unfit to be the president of the United States of America.

That is, wealth redistribution from the poor and the middle class into the greedy hands of the unscrupulous wealthy who have been bribing/buying the gop lock stock and barrel. The republicans have made the pendulum swing against middle class and poor Americans for long enough and now the pendulum is beginning to swing back in the other direction via the American citizens will to vote these gop clowns out of our government.

Wowza, the GOPTP are running scared. Just look at the number of conspiracies posted on just this thread.

-Ryan claims Obama will take guns away, yet he has done nothing of the sort.

-Obama distributing American wealth to the world - but can't be supported by a single fact.

-Obama restricts domestic oil production, yet he has approved hundreds of drilling permits.

-Obama will tax income at 100% - ummm, how does one respond to that fantasyland accusation. Doesn't this run contrary to the conspiracy that 47% do not pay any taxes and should be put to death?

-Obama hides layoff notices - yet the cited article indicates nothing about hiding them under the bed, or anywhere else for that matter.

-Obama covers up terrorist attack in Libya - odd, I just read an article last week where the adminstration said the attack was by terrorists. What cover-up?

-Obama corrupted ACORN to get votes - that's a new one. Can't even find a link to that claim on Brietbart.

-Some mythical man names SEROS out to support Obama behind the scenes. Is he anything like Addleson, who has spent millions supporting Newt and Romeny (poor Addleson has yet to but his money behind a winning candidate).

-MSNBC conspires to put down the GOPTP - yet the poster can't point to one citation from the article that supports his claim.

-A communist is running for president - poor tinfoil hat crowd can't figure out if Obama is a Marxist, Communist or Socialist. Get back to us when you get your claims straight.

Whew - and that is just one days conspiracy theories. What will come next week? Obama conspires with Martians to start intergalctic war with Space Federation forces over gold mining rights on Jupiter? Either way, the GOPTP fear runs deep and it is certainly producing some creative and often times, competing, conspiracy theories. This is going to get FUN.

These devious and dishonest attacks are designed to De-legitimize the Presidency of Obama, and to characterize him as; the other, foreign, UN-American, non-Christian, and alien. He has been called socialist, communist, fascist, The New Hitler, Marxist, Stalinist, Muslim, African Anti- Colonialist, Anti-Christ, baby killer, gay lover, uppity, The Food Stamp President, and n!@@&r. The base of the GOP is clearly without any morality, their claim to Jesus and God rings hallow as they practice Anti-Christ in the name of Jesus. This constituency has been duped with fear, into a position of unfounded distrust and hate. In their zealotry, they express a fanatically willingness to vote against their own self interest. The Conservatives have been conquered, their party has been taking over by the Corporatist in a pact with the Theocratic and the Obstructionist .Tell me how anyone with a modicum of intelligence, or any degree of honesty, could vote for a Republican.

    At least one frontrunner candidate stands in contrast with a decidedly mixed record on the gun issue. While Mitt Romney likes to “talk the pro-gun talk,” he has not always walked the walk.

    “The Second Amendment protects the individual right of lawful citizens to keep and bear arms. I strongly support this essential freedom,” Romney assures gun owners these days.

    But this is the same Mitt Romney who, as governor, promised not to do anything to “chip away” at Massachusetts’ extremely restrictive gun laws.

    “We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts; I support them,” he said during a gubernatorial debate. “I won’t chip away at them; I believe they protect us and provide for our safety.”1

    Even worse, Romney signed a law to permanently ban many semi-automatic firearms. “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense,” Romney said in 2004. “They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”2

    Romney also spoke in favor of the Brady law’s five day waiting period on handguns. The Boston Herald quotes Romney saying, “I don’t think (the waiting period) will have a massive effect on crime but I think it will have a positive effect.”3

    That is a lot of BS. Obama was/is working with ACORN. Get your facts straight. If not for Obama maybe they wouldn't be so corrupt.

    Libs are so retarded and lazy that others have to do their research for them and once the facts are laid out for them, they still don't believe it.

    hey Rangewolf, you are so behind in the times and lacking of facts that it isn't funny that you'll be voting, ACORN blew the whistle on the fraudulent registrations and the people responsible and were subsequently cleared of ANY wrongdoing and the Republicans still defunded them because they registered both Republican and Democrat voters. While the RNC keeps hiring Nathan Sproul who collects only Republican forms and destroys Democrat forms, not a single Republican has yet shown one single incident as proof of in-person voter fraud that the Voter ID laws address. The voter purges are done on a yearly basis by the local election officials and yet the Republican governors keep send out lists of voters to be purged that are ALIVE and 87% Democrat. Majority of all election fraud is done by Republicans who are election officials, the smaller percentage is done by Democrat election officials, and it's not done through in-person voting, but rather by methods that Voter ID can't prevent and that Republicans refuse to address.

    I can tell the difference between bad and good and it's easy to see that your comment is WRONG, so you are a bad voter. Why a bad voter? Because if you made your comment because you don't know the truth then you are an ignorant voter, while if you made it knowing that it is a lie then you are a traitorous voter.

    Election fraud is committed by both Republicans (75%) and Democrats (25%) and Voter ID Laws do nothing to stop it since in-person voting fraud occurs at a rate of appx 0.0000004%. OR, you could be a member of TrueTheVote, a Tea Party group who has stated that they will UNCONSTITUTIONALLY and without any legal right stop, demand proof of citizenship and take photographs of every single non-white minority attempting to vote. But then again, you don't seem to care about the Constitution very much.

    Obama Administration Restores Full Funding to Corrupt ACORN Org - OMB memo, resume funding
    http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/03/obama-administration-restores-full-funding-to-corrupt-acorn-org/" target="_blank">gateway pundit ^ | March 19, 2010 | Jim Hoft

    Posted on Fri Mar 19 2010 16:47:32 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time) by opentalk

    ACORN is the largest radical leftist group in America today. This radical group worked closely with the Obama camp during the election but, the community organizing group was not open about the relationship. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:

    One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992. He worked along side ACORN before he became an elected official. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts. And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama in 2008.

    In 2009 Obama promoted a top ACORN operative, Patrick Gaspard, who’s organization was fined $775,000 for election violations, to a top post in the White House. Gespard is helping shape domestic policy today.

    Barack Obama was not honest about his relationship with ACORN.

    Obama’s ACORN group was banned from receiving federal funds in September after the group was busted on tape promoting the child sex slave trade. But, it didn’t last long. Here’s the latest… Matthew Vadum at Big Government reported that the Obama Administration restored full funding to ACORN this week:

    In a March 16 memo Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director Peter Orszag quietly ordered federal agencies to resume funding the group whose employees were caught on hidden camera videos last year condoning a variety of crimes including child prostitution and tax evasion.

    Oooooh, the Briebart wanna be pimp; gateway pundit. You really scraped the bottom of the barrel there for credibility.


    ACORN was cleared of all voter-fraud charges ...

    Nearly two dozen members of Congress requested an investigation after a series of complaints against ACORN and its affiliates. The complaints included an embezzlement matter, several cases of voter registration fraud, and the release of edited and misleading videotapes, secretly made by conservative activists that appeared to implicate ACORN workers in several offices facilitating prostitution. In fact the staff in most of ACORN's offices turned the pair away, reported the couple to the police, refused to provide them any aid, and in one case tried to convince the phony prostitute to get counseling. In no ACORN office did employees file any paperwork or do anything illegal on the duo's behalf.

    But Fox News broadcasted the deceptive tapes nearly around the clock for several days defaming ACORN.

    While Republicans in Congress, who for years had accused ACORN of corruption, used the phony tapes to lead an effort to successfully strip the group of federal funding in 2009. Months later the group was exonerated from any wrongdoing by every official and independent investigation.

    Good point, guy. Ryan was and always will be a phony. As a fellow alumni of this kook, which by the way I am ashamed to admit, Lyin Ryan, is a disgrace to our great university, IMHO.

    Since his daddy passed away I am sure Lyin Ryan was given a full ride to our Public Ivy League school all the while he is trying his best to prevent the middle class from obtaining entrance and earning degrees creating an educated middle class that would see through BS like him. Lyin Ryan was a waste of a great education on people of his caliber. Yes, we have turned out a few Republican politicians but they have not rose to greatness.

    One of the most noted tried to sue the federal government over the AHCA for the Catholic Church using the state of Ohio's taxpayer funds to pay for it. Dewine is another embarrassment to our great university. His biased and malfeasance has brought shame to all of us. Ohio is better than these POS and always will be. These people got to where they are at by lying, cheating and stealing from the American public. I hope gentleman's revenge comes back to them for their misdeeds.

      rradiko, without even having to mention BO's book, by his very comment that he made that "he did not build it, we did" statement relates directly to the heart of Karl Marx's Das Kapital and the communist manifesto. BO's statement correlates with the belief of a centralized contol of the economy and the means of production are owned under the guise of "we did".

      Whereas, our country was founded and grew under the premise that the private sector controlled the means of production through individual initiative. That would be known as capitalism...unfortunately, BO is a communist.

          Fellow Dems, if you happen to be voting in person on Election Day, be sure to keep an eye out for official-looking although entirely unofficial Tea Party 'True the Vote' volunteer personnel loitering in or around your precinct, especially in hotly-contested swing states or in any state where a contest for a House or Senate seat is ‘too close to call’.

          In general, these uniformly-dressed, clipboard wielding True the Vote volunteers have been instructed by their Koch Brother-funded mentors, wherever and whenever possible, to take up positions inside precincts themselves, side by side in teams of two at or near the point of ballot distribution, doing everything within their power to appear AUTHORITATIVE in an attempt to intimidate specific 'classes' of voters, i.e. African-American, Latino, and/or elderly non-Latino white Democrats, from exercising their constitutional right to vote.

          As unbelievable as it may sound, at present very few states have policies which prohibit people from loitering for extended periods of time INSIDE a precinct, IF their outward behavior does not appear to pose either an immediate threat or imminent danger to voters or the voting process itself. The assumption has always been that after having voted, any reasonable person would head for the door and get on with their life. Well, not anymore, it seems.

          Therein lies the problem. Polling station workers are themselves volunteers, and unless these True the Vote personnel make the mistake of becoming overtly aggressive, station workers may feel uncomfortable challenging their presence, especially when the True the Vote volunteer begins asserting a well-rehearsed litany of constitutional privileges or begins citing chapter and verse of thoroughly researched state or local ordinances governing precinct operations.

          So…

          If you see ANY True the Vote people at your precinct, or if you even SUSPECT that people from True the Vote are present, exercise your right to inform the precinct captain that YOU FEEL INTIMIDATED AND ARE ELECTING THEN AND THERE TO CALL THE POLICE. THEN DO SO.

          Intimidation at the polls is a CRIMINAL as well as CIVIL violation of the law.

          If either the precinct captain OR the local police fail to act, your next call should be to the local office of the FBI.

          Not because the FBI will come to your aid, but filing a complaint enables national numbers to be tracked. Be sure to phone the FBI within earshot of the precinct captain, if possible, and True the Vote volunteers where practicable.

          After that, you have as much right to stand in front of the True the Vote volunteers, facing them and taking their photographs using your cell phone cameras for posting on Facebook if the feeling arises, as they have to stand facing eligible voters. Just do so quietly, in full view of witnesses, and NEVER physically touch anybody at any time.

          Fellow Dems, the Koch Brothers and their ilk are intent on influencing outcomes on Election Day AT THE POLLING STATIONS THEMSELVES. Fight back against these cretins, and fight back HARD.

          To most of you who read and replied to Post #6 above, thank you for a reasoned response. This country is lost without informed dialogue.

          To those who chose simply to argue that Democrats in 2008 were equally complicit in voter intimidation efforts because of the actions of two members of the Black Panther Party, let me say this:

          First, if you will, take a moment to look up True the Vote out of Texas, a local movement which began a few years ago under the name King Street Patriots but was soon co-opted by the David and Charles Koch and prepared for national release over the past year. Choose to know enough about them and their project before coming to any particular conclusion going forward.

          Second, please consider that while drawing a comparison between the 2008 Black Panther incident and the 2012 True the Vote conspiracy may be logical, as well as not entirely unexpected, an equally important comparison should be made regarding economies of magnitude, proportion, and scale.

          The 2008 Black Panther incident was an effort limited to two individual members of the Black Panther Party and conducted at a single polling location in Philadelphia. Thankfully, it proved largely ineffective.

          The 2012 True the Vote project is a nationwide effort funded in large part by corporate interests in defense of their own long-term financial objectives. Hopefully, it shall prove equally ineffective.

          The 2008 incident saw two representatives of the Black Panthers seek to intimidate voters by representing themselves AS themselves, as street thugs and militant provocateurs.

          The 2012 conspiracy seeks to intimidate voters through color of authority, with volunteers presenting themselves, insofar as they might, as agents of the state.

          The 2008 incident was designed for effect to influence the outcome at a single precinct.

          The 2012 conspiracy is designed with intent to influence the outcome of an entire election.

          Disagree as we might on some things, keeping the polling stations free of intimidation from ANY source and on ANY scale should NOT be one of them.

          It makes one wonder if Ryan is the same sort of hunter as Romney:

          "I purchased a gun as a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life." —Mitt Romney (April 2007) making a statement that later required clarification after his hunting credentials were questioned. Small game hunter Romney later said, "I'm not a big-game hunter. I've made that very clear. I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will."

                I have more than one picture of me on the Exxon Valdez.

                Can I tell people I was a Merchant Seaman for 12 years?

                (rather than I just happened to get on board once?)

                  Jerseyshore - you clearly don't know anything about hunting or bowhunting. A properly placed shot from either a gun or a bow results ina quick and humane death, far better than letting the animal starve to death because they have overpopulated an area. Unless you are are a vegetarian that wears nothing made from leather or fur, than you are a hypocrite - you just prefer to let others do the killing for you. Hunters are the real conservationists in this Country - google the Pittmann-Robertson Act, a self-imposed tax on sporting equipment used SOLELY for wildlife conservation. maybe if you actually spent some time in the woods, instead of on your couch watching Disney and Niclkelodeon you would learn something about how nature works.

                  Pensacola Ed, just how many hunters can place the perfect shot? The deer is moving, the arrow is loosed, the deer moves, the arrow only goes forward hitting the deer anywhere. Unless of course you hunt with Ted and then you are going to kill a somewhat tame animal fenced in. Boy, what courage hunters have.

                  And, of course, you are helping Mother Nature by keeping the size of the herd down. But, you never kill the weak and old, just the healthy, strong and young. Just the right size for a trophy.

                    #9.13 - Sun Sep 30, 2012 12:44 PM EDT

                    Julia or Slightlyold, have either of you ever seen what happens when coyotes kill a deer - that's a mush harsher death than from huntring. I have seen a deer shot by an arrow that didn't even run or know that anything was wrong - they were clearly not suffering. Death comes swiftly, in a matter of seconds. It's OK if hunting is not your thing - it's not for everyone, but it is NOT cruel, and it does help the animals by keeping the herd healthy. And on our Hunting Club we specifically target the older deer - the mature bucks and the older "dry" does. Responsible hunters practice diligently until they can confidently make an effective killing shot, I shoot my bow throughout the year to keep my skills sharp - I have tremendous respect and reverance for the game I hunt, and I use everything when I am lucky enough to harvest one.

                      #9.14 - Sun Sep 30, 2012 2:36 PM EDT

                      Hunting is a sport. It is harvesting edible animals and enjoying the fruits of the harvest. Same goes for fishing.

                      The arrow kills by inducing massive bleeding which not only quickly kills the animal, but also leaves a blood trail for the hunter to follow and retrieve his kill.

                      Hunting follows the doctrine of fair chase. This gives the hunter and the quarry both an edge. The Bow Hunter must know his quarry, and it's habbits, the quarry has a much better chance of escapeing it's fate, because a Bow hunter must get into a much closer range than a gun hunter. Difficult to do with something as wily as a deer.

                      This follows the doctrine of fair chase to the letter, and makes you savor your eventual success, and it's edible rewards much more.

                          If Ryan is elected as our new, and illustrious Vice President, but also wins his rightful Congressional seat in the State of Wisconsin, then the Governor of Wisconsin gets to appoint someone to Ryan's seat.

                              Gov. John Kasich kinda shot Ryan in the foot, giving the GOOD employment news.

                              That's not exactly the Republican assertion of choice. But it illustrates that Kasich realizes he needs to WIN himself, and have some kind of political future.

                              It's apparent: He sees Ryan as just a flash in the pan.

"i am still concerned about the economy in Ohio. when you are governor, the main priority is for your state to have jobs for the citizens of that state you run. Romney will help in that effort.

                                  Romney couldn't create jobs as governor why would anyone believe he'd be better as president?

                                  A core argument of Romney’s presidential campaign is that he knows how to create jobs based on his career in finance. As governor, Romney faced his first test in applying his business background to a slow-growing economy — and data show that the results were unremarkable.

                                  Massachusetts was one of just four states that by the time of the financial crisis still had not recovered all the jobs they had lost during the 2001 recession. And, as Romney’s opponents have pointed out, the state ranked 47th in job creation during his term.

                                  The parallels between Massachusetts then and the country as a whole now point to the same central problem that has dogged the U.S. economy the last three times it’s climbed out of a recession: The recovery hasn’t created enough jobs.

                                  Many state policymakers and economists say Romney struggled to apply his business expertise to Massachusetts’s problems during his tenure.

                                  “There was this tremendous sense of a lost opportunity.

                                  “As governor he confronted an economy very similar to Obama’s economy: high unemployment and no job creation,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement. “Under his leadership and economic reforms the Massachusetts unemployment rate went from 5.6 percent to 4.7 percent and the state had a positive record of nearly 50,000 new jobs created.”

                                  But Andrew Sum, a professor of economics at Northeastern University, says the unemployment rate fell only because people were leaving the workforce in droves during Romney’s term. Just one state had a bigger drop in its labor force during the same period, according to Sum — that was Louisiana, which was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

                                  “There was not one measure where the state did well under his term in office. We were below average and often near the bottom,” said Sum, who is also the director of Northeastern’s Center for Labor Market Studies.

                                  Mitt Romney returned to Pennsylvania today for the first time since July, holding a fundraiser in Downtown Philadelphia and a rally here at the Valley Forge Military Academy; predicting at both he could mount an improbable victory in this politically divided state.

                                  “You know, I’ve got a little secret here," Romney told a rally crowd of a few hundred supporters. "That is that the Obama campaign thinks Pennsylvania is in their pocket -- they don’t need to worry about it. And you’re right, and they’re wrong.

                                  "We’re going to win Pennsylvania. We are going to take the White House."

                                  Bwhaaaa Bwhaaaaa He told a few hundred in a city of millions Bwhaaaaaaa pipe dreams Vomit. Only way you will win Pa. is to STEAL IT YOU PUKE!

                                  Romney is clearly delusional if he thinks he is going to win a state that has over a million more registered Democrats than Republicans, a state that has thousands of grassroots volunteers who have been working tirelessly for the past year to re-elect the President.

                                  Romney has nothing going for him but robocalls, negative attack ads, and voter suppression.

                                    A. That if we don't elect Romney, Obama will let Talibans kill us all November 5th.

                                    B. If we Do elect Romney, we all get Shop Foreman and Show Choreographer jobs (at $120k/yr to start) on that day.

                                    Kasich is running scared. What scares me is voters might actually believe that Kasich is responsible for the economic recovery in Ohio, when in fact it's Obama who saw to it the auto industry got the help they needed. Kasich remember is of the same anti union buster mentality that the governor of Wisconsin is, he just had the benefit of watching that governor crash and burn. As an Ohioan, I hope the voters remember Kasich was a major advocate of outsourcing during his tenure as a congressman, oh that only sent over 33 million jobs overseas, he said publicly, "outsourcing is a good thing", that really resonates with the thousands of Ohio labor jobs lost, Kasich and Boehner both are on record defending outsourcing jobs, they indicated it brought prices down, but forgot to mention it directly caused foreclosures on the homes of those who lost their jobs, and helped increase the welfare roles, they don't like taking credit for that. The National Democratic Committee should run an add showing all the congressman past and present who stood in front of a microphone and spoke about outsourcing being a good thing...there's plenty of them that said it who have been record, these guys have been figured out, but it's up to the DNC to keep the heat on them, the American public has short memories.

                                    We wouldn't be talking about number of jobs the auto industry was adding or losing without the bailout. Despite Romney's claim they should have went through a normal bankruptcy people with a brain knew that money wasn't available to do that at the height of the meltdown.

                                    Some critics of a bailout have suggested that the automakers would be better
                                    off filing for bankruptcy to get out of obligations and contracts they can't
                                    afford and become competitive again without putting taxpayer dollars at
                                    risk.

                                    There is precedent for bankruptcy turnarounds. But those companies, filing
                                    under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code, were able to secure what is known as
                                    debtor-in-possession, or DIP, financing.

                                    Lenders make such loans in part because bankruptcy law allow them to go to
                                    the front of the line of the company's creditors if the company is not able to
                                    stay in business. In turn, the bankrupt company uses the cash to make changes
                                    and return to profitability.

                                    Without DIP financing, liquidation -- usually under bankruptcy Chapter 7 --
                                    may be the only option left.

                                    Experts in the field and even GM itself say that DIP financing might not be
                                    available for GM.

                                    "The state of the capital markets does make the prospects for DIP financing a
                                    much bigger question mark than would have been the case in other times," said
                                    Bob Schulz, Standard & Poor's senior auto credit analyst. "To reorganize
                                    does require financing."Others question if GM would be shut out of DIP financing entirely. But even
                                    they say it would come at a steep price.

                                      Ryan talking about guns, instead stop preaching and blaming the President for the job you and your peers in the Republican House, along with the republicans in the Senate failed the American people by NOT doing your jobs for the people, but instead spent our tax dollars to work for your political agenda. You all have used the money we pay you to have more vacations and time off to avoid doing work for Americans. As a result of occupying your seat, you are all paid over $193,400 a year along with whatever benefits you gain free from government. It is my understanding those salaries are for life. That should stop. Those are entitlements paid by taxpayers for doing nothing once you leave Congress permanently.

                                      Once you leave Congress, your on your own. Just like your partner, Mr. Romney says 47% of Americans should be on their own.

                                      What really bothers Americans, Congress has the authority to vote themselves raises without taxpayers concent. That should stop also!!!

                                      Congress should accept cuts as part of the government budget and members should sign in when in session using a time clock. Time and time again, if anyone watches C-span, hardly anyone is in chambers, other then congressional workers, when they are in session. Time and time again, either a representative or senator is speaking to a practially empty room.

                                      Funny, how the priviledge of serving the people has become a means of security mainly for personal gain.....or a pulpet for a political genda. Most Americans would be fired for NOT doing their jobs! Now Americans have to put up with bull crap in order to vote those clowns out of office.

                                      And every single elected democrat must be doing gods work in your eyes right?

                                      Is that why the senate dems are refusing to bring bills to a vote or even a debate.

                                      You have filled your mind with so much bs propaganda in this election season that you cant even see what the dems are doing right in front of you. Not that the media would put that on the front page or anything.

                                        You can always rely on msnbc boosting Obama and putting Republicans down. The media is so biased toward Obama it's disgusting. They should just be reporting news, and not be giving their personal opinions.

                                        What's with the comments that sounds like they came out of the minds of a five year old? It explains why they would be supporting Obama, lack of intelligence.

                                        NBC/MSNBC is without a doubt the largest and most powerful 0bama superpac.

                                        They even buy their own ad-space so their employees can make endorsements of 0bama. Just watch ten minutes and you will see it.

                                        MSNBC is also the most corrupt channel out there. They constantly edit audio and video to fit their narratives.

                                        Ed Schultz edited a clip of Rick Perry talking about the debt being a black cloud over America to make it seem like he was talking about 0bama being a black cloud.

                                        The Today show edited the 911 tape of Zimmerman talking to a police dispatcher. The dispatcher asked about the race of Trevon and Zimmerman said he looked black. MSNBC cut out the question by dispatch to make it look like Zimmerman was concerned about race.

                                        Then there is Andrea Mitchel, showing an edited tape of Romney talking about ordering food at a Wawa. She twisted a message about the private sector finding new and better ways to do things, into Romney being fascinated about the ordering process.

                                        Now the Morning Joe show just played another doctored tape of Romney inserting his name into a "ryan" chant at a rally. Unfortunately for MSNBC the crowd was actually chanting "Romney" and Romney stopped them and said he prefers "Romney/Ryan" to which the crowd picked up.

                                        The list of outright lies and manipulation of the news is endless over here.

                                        Some day all of you on the left will wake up and realize that you have been duped by the largest and most powerful propaganda machine since Joseph Goebbels and the Nazis.

                                          Based upon "MYTH's" pathetic performance overseas, his dishonest tactics (not divulging credible tax documents) and his lack of geopolitical matters, I'd say "MYTH" is politically, socially, spiritually, and culturally inept. So does most of the country and world. It's McCain Palin 2.0. And it ain't pretty!!!

                                          Rangewolf: do you even know what a communist is? Or a socialist, or any of those other great big words you on the fringe right like to throw around? I have read your comments today, you are repeating the Beck/Hannity/Limbaugh rot, and you ought to be embarrassed to present yourself as someone this ignorant on a national forum.

                                          But, you make true what I always say:

                                          "Scratch a teabagger, find a bigot."

                                          Now. Have someone read an edifying book to you, preferably on Theodore Roosevelt. Therein you will find out WHY he left the Republican Party, the many warnings he issued, and how the Republican Party is worse now than it was then.

                                          And grow up.
