"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, hes become a political junkie who cant pry his eyes from cable news.I cant yell at my TV anymore. I have no other choice, he said of his decision to apply for Isaksons job. I know Im just one man and Im not able to single-handedly fix anything, but Im 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 hes preparing to run for the seat regardless of whether hes Kemps pick and hes realistic about his infinitesimally small chances partly so he can show off his brand of politics on the debate stage.Im telling you right now, theyre not going to be able to answer the questions the way I can, he said. Its going to be a grind. Ive got to visit 159 counties. And Ive got to try not to cuss Im a sailor, but Im going to have to slow my roll.
