Another Reason to vote McCain over the democrat

How one treats animals is often a good indicator on how they treat people.  Even a steak eater like myself doesn’t want to see the cow butchered while alive.  No peta-tard comments please.  Just because I don’t want it to suffer, doesn’t mean I don’t want to grill its ribs with some barbecue sauce.  That being said, what do we know of the pets our current crop of candidates have?  We already know about the Clintons.  They had just barely finished stealing everything not nailed down when Socks and Buddy were deemed no longer politically needed.  So off to who ever we can find and hey, if they die, they die.  They aren’t needed anymore.  It’s not like they haven’t been responsibile for dead animals, right Kathleen Wiley?  So Hillary will have a pet while it suits her, but as soon as the polls say it isn’t needed, well to the glue factory with it.  Why mention this?  Well, Petplace.com has a small writeup on pets in the White House.  It’s interesting and worth a read.  Here is what it says about the current crop and what pets they have.  I edited out the eliminated candidates.

  • Barack Obama - has no pets, but has promised his children a dog.
  • Hillary Rodham Clinton - has Seamus a Lab.
  • John McCain – Sam the English Springer spaniel, Coco the mutt, turtles named Cuff and Link, Oreo the black and white cat, a ferret, three parakeets and 13 saltwater fish.
  • So Barack has no time for a pet (but he can lie to his kids about getting one).   Seriously, when people were wondering if he was black enough to be the black candidate, he could have run off and picked up a pit bull somewhere and named it the ho-biter or something.  Since he didn’t we’ll just assume he’s not a pet person.  Makes sense, since he’s not a defense person or an economics person or a substance person or an intelligence person or well, you get the idea.  He’s about ideas, not actuals. Hence, no pets since if you pick up a dog, you can’t have the cat lovers thinking you’d pick up a cat and vice-versa.

    Hillary obviously found a poll that said get a lab and name it Seamus.  Probably took the poll in Berkley or Manhattan.  It would be just like her since she doesn’t take a dump without polling how many squares of toilet paper she should use on her rear and a press report detailing on how she used less toilet paper and is thus helping to save the planet, while saving loggers jobs by not using one of those froo froo water things you find in France.  So Seamus (wow, Bill must have named that one) better watch over his doggie shoulder when Hillary’s campaign ends.  Right after the consultants are terminated, little Seamus will be back on the inside waiting for the deep sleep.

    McCain, however, seems to be quite the animal lover.  He has collected turtles, ferrets, parakeets, fish and on and on.  Maybe someone will give him a horse to put into the stables too.  Odds are, when he leaves the White House, he won’t find the nearest secretary or pound to drop them off to.  When you take a poll for pets, somehow I doubt that turtles top the list.  Ditto parakeets.  My mom has one.  It is more annoying than Hillary.  Well, maybe not that bad, but it is annoying as heck.  McCain voluntarily took these animals and still has them.  They will get to live on in comfort at his home while he is in the White House.  He’s authentic.  Not fake.  So on that note: Go McCain!

      I’ve always said that you can tell a lot about a man by how he treats children and animals. If I knew nothing else about John McCain, he would have my vote on his love of pets and his family alone!

      William: As an AVID cat lover, I now have one more reason to revile the Clintons.

      As for McCain’s pets, it sounds a bit like my apartment. The count to date:
      Cats:
      a longhair named Cthulhu
      a tabby named Loki

      Fish:
      several goldfish, the most favored being Chance a blue paradise gourami.
      Until recently, 2 fairly large oscars, one passed away though, the remaining one is named Leroy Jenkins.

      Birds:
      2 Starlings, Cheerio and Monet, plus one we are rehabilitating named Joey.
      4 Canaries, Aten, Mars, Jupiter and Venus.
      3 Zebra finches, Gyre, Gimble, and Faye.
      1 Quaker Parrot, Nibbler
      1 Cherryhead Conure, Poco
      1 Dusky Lory, Isis

      Amidst the laundry list of other pets I have at one time owned, I’ve had tarantulas, a scorpion, a turtle, and a couple pythons. I guess if McCain’s pets qualify him to be president, I’ve got a shot at Pope. :P

      p.s.: My wife raised hell about the nomenclature I used to describe some of the fish. While she demanded I correct it, I just hit the Tab key an assload and pretended like I changed it. I’m so bad. :P
