Regardless, I am offended by Palins (self-)association with the hunting populace...it's obvious to me that she's just doing it for image and votes, kind of like Ronald Reagans, and later George W. Bushs cowboy tough guy associations. That so many Americans fall for the bs also offends me and makes me question the cultural intelligence of my beloved country.
