    Voting and Elections are certainly an interesting thing.

     

    I do agree that We are a long way off from the 2008 election but as of now, I don't like any of the candidates. In 2000 and 2004 it was the same (poor choices) but we should be responsible to choose based on all the information available, Not just the information we want to hear or using only that which we believe. Bush has been a disappointment in a lot of areas but I believe most of his decisions are thought out and made with the bigger picture in mind. Immigration and use of the Veto, he gets an "F" in my book. Anti Terrorism and social issues he gets a "B-". Fiscal responsibility he gets a "C-". My mind is open and looking for a better candidate from either party.

     

    Seems like we are really in more of an Oligarky than a 2 party system. This fake-out 2 party system has been Since about the time when Slick Willy left. As the republicans and democrats (republicrats) spend our money like drunken politicians. Almost All of them are fiscally liberal and irresponsible pork lovers. That said, Social issues are now those that make the most difference in an individual's alignment with a party. Anyone who is pro-abortion, pro-socialist medicine, pro-gun control, pro-govenment control, is not acting in the best interest of this society imho and will not get my vote.

     

    I find it odd that you are tested and then need a license to drive, but anyone can vote without a test or any clue on issues.

    With some of the comments posted here and elsewhere it sad and quite obvious the biased media is the only source of information for many people.

     

    Slanted information and half truths from biased sources is why so many people never will have a political clue. My rule is before I start spouting off, I do try to take some time and research to verify what has been reported. More often than not you will find there are more than 2 sides to the story. Those who just "carry water" are only slaves to their party and have little independent thought.

     

    Examples:

    Valerie Plame This was a non issue of a CIA office worker's (not covert agent) identity being "confirmed" (not disclosed).

     

    Roberto Gonzales... There has not been 1 person reported anywhere that I have found who says these dismissals are a crime. Yet millions will be spent to investigate. Investigate What? political appointees without contracts, who were let go? C'mon Sour grapes is all there is here.

     

    Swift boaters. This group had ZERO to do with Bush. They supported Bush only by sharing their information with voters about Kerry. If Kerry wanted to disprove them, he could have opened his records but he never has.

     

    I am the Decider - I personally do not know the specifics of the quote, but Check the constitution. The president is elected by the people and granted decision making authority. So is the congress.

    Draconian - Exceedingly harsh; very severe I don't think so . David Geffin's quote said it was disturbing that the Clintons "lie with such ease" . He was close to them, and a respected (before this quote) friend of them.

     

    My wife agrees, that any woman who votes for Hillary is ignorant (un-informed, failing to use complete or accurate data) or sexist ( in this case - making a voting decision based only on gender).

     

    Lots of fun, but Enough politics for now, I'm bowing out on this topic to avoid harder feelings.

     

    God Bless our Service people and This great country.

    Well said Guys.

    I would like to add that Hillary (in particular) has a long documented history of dislike and contempt for the military. Remember when she forced the uniformed military guards in the white house to not wear uniforms but wear suits? Now she is cozying up to the military every chance she has. She has determined now, that she has a use for the military.... Photo Ops, to get her elected.

     

    Her friends know she is a vicious, vendictive, self centered and self important politician. It is very disturbing that she "lies with such ease" as quoted recently by one of the clinton's former advisors. She also is ranked as one of the most liberal senators in congress, and she espouses socialistic solutions to address any problems that arise. She recently advocates taking profits from business to finance socialist medical plans.

     

    Hillary is too polarizing (love, hate) and aside from garnering overwhelming votes from the women that would not usually vote because they don't follow political issues, she has stiff competition. If the Clintons are the best the democrats have to offer, we should all read up on Karl Marx, as that is more likely our future than any support of or respect for individualism.

    Seems quite likely actually. I met a knife maker ... John Toner... who bought antlers by the pound for all sorts of things, including knife handles. When dropping off a box of antlers to him his 2 dogs searched through the pile and found a couple they wanted to chew on. He pointed out that they never chewed the good ones as they like the softer ones.

    I left a rifle and part of my gear on a coues hunt once. It was afternoon on 12-31 and I had several rough miles to hike out with my deer. I was pretty sick and should not have even been out hunting but it was the last day of the season and rut was happening! So after dropping the deer across a canyon he fell into a deep ravineI hauled it up the canyon and seeing the time and distance knew I had a dilema. I took half the deer and half my gear along with all my water. Started hiking and Made it in about 3 hours, and nearly puked my guts out! I learned a lesson. Always say that is the last time I will do something so stupid as that... until the next time. :P

     

    No time energy or water to get the rest of the deer n gear so I headed home and called AZGFD poachers hotline to let them know that I would be heading out with half a deer, (untagged) and part of my gear including my gun on the next day ( Jan 1st.)

     

    They about flipped that I left a gun out there. I told them I had seen no one there in the whole season so no worries. Just did not want to get tagged myself for someone thinking I was poaching.

     

    Anyway, forgetting a rifle or losing one while hunting is possible, but you have to wonder how! Maybe the hunter is missing too? Good luck getting it back to the rightful owner.

    Josh

    You sure do have some killer spots to shed hunt! Looks like killer hike out with those big ones.

     

    Hey, by the way I saw a show on discovery last night about bloodhounds. They tried to lose one with all the tricks in the book. Y'know.. crossing a creek, zig zagging, back tracking, coffee and cologne cover scent, changing clothes and bathing, and even the cool hand luke, black pepper. Thought of you and your dogs out after a mtn lion. Almost felt sorry for the lion when the hounds get a scent trail. ALMOST....
