Pet Owners Overwhelmingly Back McCain
Jul 8th 2008 11:15AM
Filed Under:eBarack Obama, John McCain, Featured Stories, Humor, LOLection
If Barack Obama loses the November election, his campaign will face a number of tough questions having to do with age, experience, business relationships and low-interest loans. But, according to a new report from the AP, there's an even more devastating bombshell about to surface:Obama Does Not Own a Pet & John McCain Does
Results of an AP-Yahoo! News poll show that pet owners (and especially dog owners) prefer Sen. John McCain 42 percent to Obama's 37 percent.
McCain knew this moment was coming. During his decades-long quest for the Oval Office, the former aviator has methodically acquired a mini-army of more than a dozen cuddly creatures including Coco the mutt, Sam the English springer spaniel, Oreo the black & white cat, a ferret, three parakeets, two turtles and a tank of saltwater fish.
Obama, meanwhile, doesn't even have a chinchilla. Not even a dwarf hamster. Not even a gecko.
Yet all is not lost for the Illinois Senator. People who don't own pets, it turns out, support Obama 48 percent to McCain's 34 percent. However, with 88 million cats and 75 million dogs spreading joy, companionship and drool throughout 63 percent of American households, we're talking landslide territory for McCain.
If I'm Obama, I'm making a pit stop at the next Petco.

Obama Does Not Own a Pet & John McCain Does
I was just myself thinking about this the other day, and now they actually have it on AOL.
Obama has stated he would only allow his daughters to have a dog if he becomes President.
I cannot remember a president that did not have a pet. It takes alot of caring to have a pet and obviously Obama does not have that in his moral values.
He does have the moral values to have lifelong friends of Wright, Rezko, and Ayers.
This is one American who is not voting for Obama.
OhReally1:18PMJul 8th 2008
Say what you want..this is a show of character. Never trust a man who doesn't allow his pup to pee on his carpet from time to time.
bonbon1:27PMJul 8th 2008
yes I have pets, they are valued members of our family, and are treated with all the love and kindness that we have to give.
and whomever came up with this criteria, should encourage everyone to get a pet, if it were that simple to get people to see Obama for what he is. and not to vote for him.
meaning pet owners are smarter, and have their eyes and hearts open to the truth.
yep pets are the best thing for us all.
Hod1:49PMJul 8th 2008
I could care less if my President owns a pet but if Obama getting a pet would really help him keep that turdball McCain out of office then I say; Obama.... get your ass to the pet store.
NO-OBAMA2:18PMJul 8th 2008
Pets give unconditional love --- they don't have to be expensive --- perhaps Obama's family should visit shelters!
This is a video someone posted of Gaddafi supporting Obama. He talks a bout campaign contributions.
NO WONDER OBAMA DIDN’T WANT “PUBLIC FINANCING”.
The entire tape is very interesting.

Gaddafi basically says OBAMA is lying through his teeth. Nothing he says it true. All of it is to get elected. Oops, getting called a liar by a ruthless dictator. That is just a reflection of how bad Obama is.

"People will know how large your soul is, by the way you treat a dog".

OBAMA-DOES-THE-\\\2:49PMJul 8th 2008
OBAMA MOVES UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT — IT’S THE “HUSTLE”! --- HE WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS. He was sworn into office January 4, 2005. He has spent most of his time in the Senate running for President! If he can’t do his Senate job— he surely can’t lead our nation. Obama has lost credibility with all his lies and his ties to anti-Americans, Marxists and terrorists. READ HIS BOOKS - he hates what this country stands for and will try to desecrate everything to appease his radical “racist” followers. From Obama’s book: “Audacity of Hope”: “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.” You can’t change a tiger’s stripes. He was “selected” by the DNC — not “elected” by the people. Hillary should be in this race.
McCAIN stands behind what he says. He was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982. John McCain’s reform agenda to reduce federal spending and lower taxes quickly elevated him to statewide office and he was elected to the United States Senate in 1986, after serving two terms in the U.S. House. He will do the best he can for the people of the United States of America. He is ethical, honest, trustworthy and has the ‘experience’ and ‘judgment’ required to lead our country. I admire his willingness to reach across the aisle to get things done. He has proven he loves this country enough to die for her. He has two sons fighting for us now.
JOHN McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 --- HILLARY 2012.

It is refreshing to read an article that is not biased against John McCain.

Sometimes it helps to own a pet. But, sometimes you could own the San Diego Zoo and it won't get you votes. Am I right, Obama?
ANYBODY-BUT-OBAMA5:06PMJul 8th 2008
This election has proven one thing: ‘We the People’ is no longer viable; it is ‘We the DEMOCRATIC powerbrokers’!
The President of The United States is limited to eight years.
ALL political offices should have ‘term limits’ (members of Congress, Supreme Court, etc.). We can’t trust anyone to be good forever.
WE NEED TO REPLACE ALL DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.
Obama was “selected” — not “elected”.
“We The People” should count — not DNC delegates.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

Obama wouldn't know a pet if one smacked him in the face with it's tail.
Who he heck are you, Brandon? The new kid on the block who PM is giving a trial run at sarcastic comedy?

Will he get a 'pound puppy'? Probably not! He'll have to get a 'breed'. Pound puppies are the ones that give unconditional love.
One of the reasons Hanoi John Kerry, the true ‘American Traitor’, went down so hard in defeat was his elitist attitude. Apparently the liberals need something to attack in order to make them feel better about their continual losses. Zell Miller was right in 2004: “A democratic party no more!”
This election is new territory for our country and it does not look bright; and in my humble opinion, if the Democratic Party continues to control Congress, they will continue to divide our country.
This election has proven one thing: ‘We the People’ is no longer viable; it is ‘We the powerbrokers’!
What you NEED to have — in order to be the Democratic Nominee:
1) Backers with power;
2) Backers with big money;
3) Ability to ‘act/perform’ (poker-face);
4) Great speech writers;
5) MSM in back pocket;
6) DNC in back pocket.
What you DON’T NEED to have — in order to be the Democratic Nominee:
1) Credibility;
2) Experience;
3) Character;
4) Issue Resolutions;
5) Pride in Country;
THE DNC AND BIASED MEDIA ARE DESTROYING AMERICA — BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS “SELECTED” — NOT “ELECTED”.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008 - HILLARY IN 2012.

Obama Faces Resistance From Top Supporters of Clinton
More and more web sites are popping up saying 'NO' to Obama. And these are Dem web sites sending a message to the DNC to show them we OWN our votes and ONLY WE will determine how to use them. Hillary's most loyal 'Hillraisers' and small donors are determined to see that Obama doesn't get any donations from us. Come on, Hillary supporters!!! Join in and just say 'no way' to the DNC and Obama!

I don't trust Obama's judgement on anything!!!
Mary6:22PMJul 8th 2008
I heard a rumor that Obama actually has a tail of his own so why get a pet. Seems it gets longer every time he backpedals and shows his inexperience, sorta like Pinnoco's nose....
Be sensible...vote McCain!
bonbon8:46PMJul 8th 2008
to crystal

so I am with you Cryatal. all the way.
It Figures...12:03AMJul 9th 2008
It figures... why did this article come out?
Well, an interview on NBC Nightly News, July 8, 2008, tells it all! It was with Obama and his family, and Michelle asked her older daughter "What's the big deal that's gonna happen when all this is done?" Answer: a dog.
If Obama stated he would only allow his daughters to have a dog if he becomes President, is Michelle Obama showing her arrogance and audacity to assume they are going to the White House? Of course she is!
If Obama and family never had any pets, what makes you think they would love and care for it if they do get one? How many animal lovers have NEVER had a pet in their lives? That is the point!
Again, Obama will do or say anything to get into the White House! Even get a dog! Obama doesn't care about anyone but Barack Obama!
Over and over again, another truth comes out. Obama supporters, please pinch yourselves, get someone to slap your face, and get up and see the reality of what Obama is before it is too late!
Don't be fooled by Obama, the master of deception!
VOTE MCCAIN 2008!

If Barack Obama loses the election in November I would hope it was because the majority of American people found his inexperience and lack of sound judgment to "Unacceptable" to hold the office of President of the United States of America.
