      The reason that gun nuts and hunters are for environmental protection is because they live in it, and the last thing they want to see is the forest and rivers being polluted or destroyed. Hunting tags, fishing tags, outdoor gear, guns, etc have a tax on them that funds animal refuge maintenance and construction, research, state parks, ODFW, etc. The last thing any hunter wants to see is poaching and destruction of wildlife habitat. Hurt the environment, hurt the wilderness so many people enjoy.

      I guess it all depends on how you’re measuring. The conservatives/rednecks dominate in square miles but the liberals certainly dominate in population. Either way I have found most ppl here have a strong independent streak. It’s not uncommon to find gun nuts who are for enviromental protection.

      exactly, the mass population is liberal. Everyone in the cities are. The whole portland metro area is liberal to the point of hippyishness, not that i’m saying it’s bad as long as they don’t think all republicans are idiots. I personally don’t care what people are

      hood river is a tourist spot for windsurfers, that says something about the state of oregon how? considering most people travel there and can be from anywhere in the world, yea. seriously I live in SE Portland, there are NO rednecks here, and the portland metro are controls the whole state almost. hood river is not part of that either

    11. Savedbygrace32 Says:

      Oh, great! Im being …
      Oh, great! Im being brainlessly flamed by a fellow Oregonian. Hood River here, born and raised. Maybe if you pull your head out of your you will see some of these rednecks. I sure as see them every day even in a upscale touristy little town like mine.

      yes, of course, i have no idea what I’m talking about even though I live in PORTLAND OREGON! ing idiot. Portland is liberal as , eugene is even more liberal, the portland metro area takes up most of the population in oregon so yes, oregon is liberal

      You obviously dont know what your talking about so I will say no more.

      dude, seriously, go to somewhere in oregon where people actually live, for instance oregon, eugene, medford, it’s FAR from redneck. it’s the most liberal state ever so no, oregon’s not redneckish, the vast majority is liberal

    15. Savedbygrace32 Says:

      Oregon is just as “redneckish” as any part of America. I have lived in Oregon most of my life. Go to eastern Oregon during the Pendleton Roundup (one of the biggest annual rodeos in the world) if you dont believe me. One time as a kid I rode with my folks through a town called Drain (hows that for a giveaway) on the Oregon coast. We saw some used tires for sale with a simple sign in front saying “Tars 4 sale”. No rednecks in Oregon…yeah right.
