"Conservative" Democrat who loves his gunz.

This much is for sure: Hal Shouse knows a thing or two about targeting pork.The Navy veteran went from running strip clubs and an escort service in Arizona to building a thriving hog-killing business in southwest Georgia.

Many nights, he can be found armed with high-powered assault rifles in search of feral hogs menacing another sprawling farm. By day, he’s become a political junkie who can’t pry his eyes from cable news.“I can’t yell at my TV anymore. I have no other choice,” he said of his decision to apply for Isakson’s job. “I know I’m just one man and I’m not able to single-handedly fix anything, but I’m hoping I can motivate other patriots sick of partisanship.”The 49-year-old, who considers himself a conservative Democrat, wants to preserve gun rights and provide more support for law enforcement. He says his bluntness will impress Kemp, who also had a knack for straight talking on the campaign trail.But he’s preparing to run for the seat regardless of whether he’s Kemp’s pick — and he’s realistic about his infinitesimally small chances — partly so he can show off his brand of politics on the debate stage.“I’m telling you right now, they’re not going to be able to answer the questions the way I can,” he said. “It’s going to be a grind. I’ve got to visit 159 counties. And I’ve got to try not to cuss — I’m a sailor, but I’m going to have to slow my roll.”
