Turnabout Is Fair Play
Horst Hoefinger

The Obama article was postedĀ  simply for the express purpose of lettingĀ  his dog loving supporters know it’s out there.

Since there is no Canines For McCain, if someone starts one please let me know, here’s what I have found for his dog loving supporters. After all…turnabout is fair play.

There was a poll done recently to find out which candidate pet owners were more likely to support. The winner, ladies and gentlemen, was McCain.

An AP-Yahoo! News poll found that pet owners favor McCain over Obama 42 percent to 37 percent, with dog owners particularly in McCain’s corner.

“I think a person who owns a pet is a more compassionate person - caring, giving, trustworthy. I like pet owners,” said Janet Taylor of Plymouth, Mass.

Taylor, who described herself as a retired stay-at-home wife, owns two cats, Lady Jane Taylor and Mr. Tommy Katz.

Richard Powell, 79, of Spokane, Wash., whose dog passed away last fall, said if a person owns a pet that “tells you that they’re responsible at least for something, for the care of something.”

He said pet ownership wouldn’t make a difference in his vote, but if a president owns a pet, then “I’m glad to know they like animals.”

Christina Duffney, a spokeswoman for the American Kennel Club, said “you usually connect with things that you’re familiar with, so that could be a part of” why pet owners lean toward McCain.

It also found that cat lovers lean towards McCain as well, that’s for all the Catsters out there.

If your pup wants to show his support for a candidate they can order one of these cool looking shirts, available for both candidates.

    The same people who feed dog food that republicans continuously try to loosen regulations on (not to mention human food too). That is the state of our country…voting for those who don’t have our interests in mind.

    Thanks.

    As a Democrat, what has happened to all of us under our Democrat majority led government is a cause for great concern for me.

    A true leader stays and gets the job done. He doesn’t drop all balls on the floor and go on vacation. Ready to lead? More like ready to go on vacation!

    The pet food, salmonella, housing crisis, soaring gas costs, etc all happened on the watch of the Democrats.

    LILY honey are your snorting catnip? Everything that you said happened while the REPUBLICANS were in office….

    Personally, we like Obama! We are happy that we live in a country where we can voice our different choices!

    Whatever your choice, VOTE!!!!!!!

    So, it would appear that all those dog lovers who think the McCain/Palin ticket would be the most beneficial to pets don’t mind the fact that Sarah Palin, as Governor of Alaska fully supports the aerial gunning of wolves and offers a $150 for the left front paw of any wolf killed? Something’s wrong with this picture!!
