In reference to what Luke said -

Kerry is on record of supporting and protecting the Second Amendment. He has also stated that he will open up thousands of acres of public land to hunters and fishers.

Conservatives are supported by groups like the KKK, White Supremesists, strip miners, commercial fisherman, and clear-cutters. They think democratic Americans exercising their First Amendment rights are "second class citizens who commit mortal sins." Do you really think a draft-dodging alcoholic Texan that can't ride a Segway "is going to have any insight into the mind and heart of the outdoorsmen of the Pac-NW???"

Guess it all depends on your perspective, eh?
