In a biting attack on the Bush/Cheney White House, Quail Hunters for Truth aver:
President Bush and Vice President Cheney have made their bird hunting the centerpiece of their bid for the Presidency. Their campaign has featured hunting trips around the country, and they trot their hunting buddies out at public appearances to sing their praises. Bush and Cheney want us to believe that these men represent all those he calls his "band of brothers."
But most hunters who've headed out for quail see them in a very different light.
Quail Hunters for Truth has been formed to counter the false good ol' boy claims that PNAC signatories repeatedly make, and to accurately portray these foofy city boys' brief sojourns on "private ranches" as "dude ranch" vacations. Though we come from different backgrounds and hold varying political opinions, we agree on one thing: these men misrepresent their game stamps and aim and exhibit serious flaws in character and lack the potential to lead.
We regret the need to do this. Most hunters would like nothing better than to support one of our own for America's highest office, regardless of whether he was running as a Democrat or a Republican. However, these brahmins' fancy hunting togs, bad aim, disregard for tags, and urban northeasterner investor class roots compel us to step forward.
For more than thirty years, most hunters have kept silent as we were maligned as yahoos, beer drinkers, and bambi killers. Now that a key contributor to that poisonous image is lurking in the Oval Office, we have resolved to end our silence.
The time has come to set the record straight.

Rumor has it that real hunters have threatened to leave the NRA in droves if that organization delines to use its considerable influence to keep the President and VP out of the woods.

misrepresent their game stamps - I don't believe Cheney had his game stamp. There was something wrong with his license, and I'm thinking that was the problem.
