This talk won't matter much...for several reasons...
1. Outside of the PNW, people don't give a rat's ass about environmental issues in the PNW. They don't care about the Pebble Mine, they don't care about fishing, and the only salmon they care about are the ones that end up on their plate when out to eat at restaurants...and they're happy with farmed Atlantic Salmon from Argentina.
2. Within the PNW, right wingers, even so-called "outdoorsmen", don't seem to mind voting over and over again for the very politicos that are owned, part and parcel, by the industries that seek to destroy their outdoorsy way of life.
It baffles me why they continue to do this...I mean, they know damn well they're doing it, and they do it anyway. They even go with the "Sportsmen for Bush!" bumper stickers and the like...and frankly, you can't get much more retarded than that.
Yeah, they're pro gun rights...but no one, and I mean NO ONE is looking to take away anyone's hunting rifles or shotguns...NO ONE...no matter what those lying sacks in the NRA tell you. There are no politicians running for any office of any consequence who have any interest whatsoever in doing that.
None.
What good is the right to carry an assault rifle into the taco shop on the corner going to do a "sportsman" when there's no wild areas, or game left to shoot?
None at all...that's what...but they still do it, and they know exactly what they're doing, and they do it anyway.
Now, if you want to impose your fundamentalist beliefs on the other 75% of the population who wants you to STFU, then by all means vote for them. If you support what BushCorp has been doing to our country and the world for the past seven years, then by all means, vote for McCain.
There are a host of reasons to support McCain, even if they are mainly a little whacked, IMHO.
That being said...anyone who claims they are voting Republican in order to improve their access to and enjoyment of hunting and fishing is either really, really stupid, or just has their head stuck so far in the sand all you can see is their ballet slippers.
Fish on...

There you go Todd, talking out your ass again.
You do follow fishing issues very closley and I agree with nearly all of your philosophies, but you are clearly oblivious to the threats facing the world of hunting and firearms ownership.
The threat to hunters from liberal based organizations is far far greater than what you are trying to cover up.
I know, I submerge myself in it constantly.
And it is NOT simply the NRA psychobabble that you like to refer to.
It is YOUR party members , the DEMOCRATS that are doing it.
They use fear tactictics and prey on the uneducated majority to ramrod new gun leglislation down the throats of law abiding citizens.
Do you realize that my son's deer rifle is more powerful and carries more down range energy than the M16's and AK47's used in Iraq?
Lay that on the uninformed...
What constitutes a sniper rifle?
Virtually EVERY big game round in existence is capable of penetrating police body armour.
What is a "Cop Killer Bullet"?
Every single bullet I've ever fired would be banned if penetrating police body armour was the criteria used.
You claim to be a sportsman, I call bullshitt, you are a fisherman yes, but have NO concept of the left wing assault on gun owners and the threats facing today's hunters.
I've witnessed Ballot box wildlife management first hand as liberal treehuggers introduce ballot measures to take control away from qualified wildlife professionals and institute liberal agendas on my hunting opportunities.
Prop 117 in California forever protects mountain lions just after the California dept of fish & game tried to open a season to reduce their numbers due to a dwindling deer population.
The treehuggers outnumbered us and put the measure to a vote.
NOW, the department of fish and game kills and incinerates more lions yearly than they were going to allow hunters to take (and pay for).
My neighbor has killed nine in the last twelve years on depredation permits.
Fish & game comes out takes tha cat away than buries or burns it.
What a fuggin waste,not only to the lions wasted but to the depleted deer herds.
http://www.dfg.ca.gov/news/issues/lion/depredation.htmlhttp://www.mountainlion.org/history.aspEVERY SINGLE anti hunting and anti gun organization out there promotes the democratic party, just why do you suppose that is?
It is because YOUR BELOVED PARTY is sympathetic to their causes.
Plain & simple.
Deny it.
Do you really wonder why hunters can't get behind your green machine?
You just don't get it Todd.
Ok, now call me names.
