A former Arizona sheriff who has taken the side of cattle ranchers in Nevada said this week that he would have allowed his own wife and daughters to be shot as human shields because it would look bad for the federal government on television.
In a statement to Fox News on Monday that was first flagged by Glenn Becks The Blaze, former Sheriff Richard Mack talked about his strategy to put women on the front lines if a gunfight broke out between rogue federal agents and rancher Cliven Bundy, who reportedly owes the taxpayers more than $1 million for allowing his cattle to graze on government land.
We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front, he recalled. If they are going to start shooting, its going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers."

...women feel about this strategy? It is simply amazing to me that those women, knowing they obviously have no worth to those men, are still there.

Did you know that Bundy's forebears were polygamists? Check out his wiki page.

use Obamacare to pay the hospital bills incurred when the wives and women are shot?
Therein lies the crux of the matter. (I always wanted to use those words )
