This is an interesting claim, given that Dean was mentioned by the Rapid City Journal in 2003 as a “possible Democratic candidate for Congress” who endorsed Democrat Senator Tim Johnson for reelection just a year earlier. Dean’s efforts to draw gun owners to Johnson weren’t enough, and Johnson’s Republican challenger, John Thune, became a U.S. Senator from South Dakota. According to public records, Dean donated money to another anti-gun South Dakota Democrat, Tom Daschle, also in 2003.

They’ve corrected this at the Buckeye site. Thune lost to Johnson then later won a race against Daschle.

Gun owners know about Obama. We will not believe his minions and their lies.

This guy’s a “lifelong” Republican the same way that Obama has “always” said a particular thing.

Kinda Orwellian: “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia, I mean Eurasia.”

Actually Johnson won in 2002, thanks not only to fake sportsmen but some suspicious activity related to Indian reservations, defeating Thune by a few hundred votes. Two years later, Thune unseated Tom Daschle.

I am a life-long outdoorsman and hunt whenever I get the chance. I do not know Tony Dean. I do know this, he does not represent most of us who do enjoy hunting and the shooting sports. We are too aware of the dangers of anyone who would dilute the 2nd amendment like Barack Obama. I would guess that Mr. Dean must be independantly wealthy to risk his sponsors’ wrath in order to endorse an anti-gun candidate.

And all I did was put forward the idea that if a 68 year old man starts voting Democrat in 2000 or 2002 and had been a Republican before that, it’s fair to say that 42 years of being a Republican vs. 8 years of being a Democrat is a fairly substantial difference.

The criterion is simple, it’s whether or not he switched for Obama.

Next…

GaMidnightRider, we can hope for such a hunting expedition (with Nugent). Probably might take the fellow out snipe hunting.
