Todd Palin: America's "Core Values" Are "Hunting And Fishing"

Atrios:

Todd Palin addressed a crowd of 75 fellow sportsmen at a gun club this morning as part of a three-event campaign swing through Pennsylvania.

The husband of the Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, told supporters that it is important to have a ticket that "supports our core values -- hunting and fishing." Mr. Palin, who is new to the campaign trail, spoke for only three minutes at the Pitcairn-Monroeville Sportmen's Club.

Oh gosh, golly, this guy is deep. I can see his brain cell from my house.

If McCain/Palin weren't so scary, it might actually be fun having them win. Imagine when foreign leaders come to the white house instead of all that formal foolishiness, Todd can just grab a beer out of the cooler. I can see him flipin' moose burgers on the white house lawn. Instead of the annual Easter egg hunt, they can shoot at little rabbits and the kids can win a prize like at the county fair. What fun and such a great to show off our 'Core American Values'.

Sarah's drawing 10k + at her rallies and her secessionist First Dude draws, like, 75 gun freaks? Are we in a democracy, or a beautimockracy???

He would just bring so so much to our Nation's capitol, but if anything should happen (heaven forbid) that his wife were in the power position..would he be our first lady-dude or would he and Cindy share? As difficult as it is to imagine McCain in the White House..try for a second imagining Sarah, Todd and Cindy there without him....

Americas core values are hunting and fishing.

The bill of rights etc. that's just window dressing.

So sarah really IS the brains in that marriage, sad that.

Dude, seriously, Shush already. Nobody cares what you have to say.

[NoSillyName]

Tpalin didn't know those two words had a "g" at the end, I'll betcha.

I don't find any challenge in outwitting a lower vertebrate using tackle and bait or aiming a telescopic sight at a deer and firing a rifle to bring it down. Not one of my core values....

guess I'm a socialist, elitist, far-left-wing, nut.

[MKJeeves]

. . . don't forget 'effete'

[nutty4tahoe]

Why would anyone believe that a member of the Alaskan secessionist party would know anything about American core values? We all know where he's blowing it out of to try to get his witless wife elected.

[m4rk0]

Hunting and fishing are core values? I thought those were hobbies.

[nutty4tahoe]

Yeah right, Todd Palin, Americans' core values include shooting defenseless wolves and other animals from small planes in the name of "sport", leaving them suffering and dying where they fall. It sure takes a big man, a MANLY man, to aim a shotgun at God's creatures and pull the trigger. Keep talking like that, Todd, and maybe you'll get an invitation to go hunting with that other paragon of American core values, Dick Cheney.

[MadFae]

Wow, I thought they were freedom and justice for all.

Dang.

[ComnCents]

Maybe he is right.

Tens of millions of people are:

Hunting for a job.
Fishing for a way to get health care.

[MadFae]

So true. :)

So what are you SAYING TODD? I must say Todd & Sarah Palin have a HISTORY of Division, think about the Alaskan Independence Party and how they are trying to separate Alaska from the rest of the country. This a two-fold deal for her, she is trying to divide the country first, and then help Alaska gain its independence.

And they approve of both kinds of music, Country and Western.

(JK...... My wife loves it. I just love to recycle that line from The Blues Brothers every chance I get.)
