I had a good friend who got up and went one morning when it was six degrees, knowing full well he had a hole in his waders. I don't remember whether he was a Democrat or a republican, but there are idiots and fools on both sides. Most of them just aren't that extreme.

Actually I rarely go for ducks now, I concentrate on geese. Ended up not going today, clear skies an unlimited visibility.

Your friend wore waders?

We have cypress swamps along the Congaree and Santee Rivers where the water is a foot or so deep for a few hundred yards back in the trees from the river itself. Not anywhere near the big water.

Since it was so cold he thought he might jump shoot a few wood ducks. They were smarter than he was.

I laughed at him for a month.

Because, it's a trend I have noticed, when an (R) says or does something that is bad/wrong/illegal/controversial, there is almost always an (R) next to their name in the article, BUT when it's a (D), it's mysteriously absent.

Rep. David Campbell (D-New Hampshire) biography


The question is, WHY? Why do they do this, and WHY do people accept it?

(And WHY did he feel it was OK to run over a DUCK, and drive away?).

You should write a letter and complain every time this happens. Problem solved.

You know why as well as I do, and any one with common sense also knows why. Don't tarnish the blemish Democrats. When there is a R after the name, it is public out cry, media news worthy, nite time talk shows, all up on it, if it is a R after the name. News headliners.

Talk about it 24/7 just be honest, this is reality, and most of us are use to it. So much better and so much more outrage if their is a R after the name. Could be the same damn thing a Democrat has done, but soon as a R is after the name for the same damn thing, It is a fudging train wreck.

And yes this is the way it is, don't deny it. Who accepts it, it is just something that has not been able to be changed. Too many hardliners on one ignorant team.

And the beauty part is that he will hardly ever have to do it.

I read most of the linked articles and nowhere was it reported that he ran the ducks over 'for fun'.

Sounds more like alcohol was involved.

Shame on him!
