Democrats must pull the trigger

[goju]

"For 35 years, ever since the Democratic Party got its liberal reputation from the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, Democratic candidates for statewide office in Arkansas have needed to establish their culturally conservative bona fides by killing something, or at least taking serious aim at it.

If John Kerry knows what's good for him in Arkansas, he'll accept U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor's invitation to load up his gun and come here in September to have his picture taken while he tries to put the hurt on some doves, which will have the misfortune of being in season in the pivotal days leading to the election.

The Democratic presidential nominee would follow a star-studded tradition."
