Answer 1

Yes..

Its just one of her many impeccable credentials

Answer 2

Well, as a gun-toting liberal and card-carrying member of both the NRA and the ACLU, I don't see what the fuss is on that end.  Now, if you want to argue qualifications, that's another matter entirely.

At least she's probably a better shot than Cheney is!

Answer 3

MICK KANE chose her for the Harley bike festival contest.  He wants the biker vote.  She has a semi-automatic weapon that she shoots on TV.  She is a good reason to put females on the frontlines.  She may be a good reason for gun-control in Alaska.  She is going to machine gun the bears or Democrats.  Airhead and she's not blond yet.

You don't want to know what she does with balls or maybe some of you do.

Answer 4

Find a new tree to bark up.  Being a hunter is an established tradition in this country.  It may not be what you or I choose, but there are plenty of Democrats that would shoot Bambi's dad if they got the chance.

Answer 5

The NRA is an extremely powerful lobbying group.  They are part of the reason that we have the highest gun violence rate by far in all of the developed countries.  A gun-toting VP is always a fine example for the youth of America, just like Cheney.

Isn't the NRA owned or headed by a White Supermacy group?  Not sure though!

Answer 12

I don't think it should matter that she hold an NRA card.... In Fact, being the power hungry woman that she is, wouldn't you expect it of her?

Answer 13

I wouldn't vote for any woman who didn't tote a gun.

They just don't make them like Annie Oakley any more.

Answer 14

it's better than 'BIG GREEN' and Al Gore

Answer 15

Maybe she'll shoot somebody in the face.

The NRA has so much power because they capitalize on the paranoia endemic in the right wing.  They use it as a wedge issue to promote a thoroughgoing rightist agenda.  They're really not about guns at all.
