Pitbull vs Pig

Posted by Stan Harrington

At the recent, Republican National Convention, the evening that Governor Sarah Palin was presenting her acceptance speech, she noticed some signs in the audience stating "Hockey Moms For Sarah". The Governor went off script and ad libbed the line, "Do you know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!

Governor Sarah Palin

American Pit Bull

Today, Senator Obama while making a political presentation, he remained on script and made the comment; "If a Pig wears lipstick, it is still a Pig"

Senator Obama

A Pig With A Touch Of Lipstick

Now you can interpret that comment anyway you so choose. Personally I find it degrading in that it makes a known reference to Governor Palin in comparing her to a pig. Is this the same candidacy that was going to change the political campaign and talk issues, with no smear campaigning? If he and his campaign are intimidated by a "hockey" mom, how are they going to react the first time he has to make a stand on an issue that threatens us as a nation. I do not want him answering the phone at 3:00 a.m. on my behalf. No Thank You.

Although claiming to hate negativity in advertisement over the subject, the McCain campaign has had more than one ad since his acceptance speech with nothing but down on Obama info. In defense of Obama, I watched that speech with the lipstick reference of a pig. He was directly referring to Senator McCain with that line when he stammered for words with no tele-prompter. Even though he IS a great speaker, he stuttered and paused a lot without his prompt.
My choice has not changed at this point, but there are more negative ads from the R party's side than I would expect and McCain - all of a sudden - has taken on Obama's "change" face to continue campaigning the last few words.

It is hard to guess an outcome of the 2008 election. Polls are just statistical figures and I'm curious how America will vote and how close the race will be come November. We may have a colored President...
