The media circus and powers that be have finally narrowed down two choices for the 2008 Presidential election. We can choose between John McCain or Barack Obama. Along the way, I have admired the words of Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Dennis Kucinich is a vegan, and is outspoken for animal rights. I believe he is a good and kind hearted person. Ron Paul is sometimes irreverent, makes us reconsider the status qou, and values freedom above all. Two good men in my book, but I think the rest of the US is reading a different book than I am.
Therefore, CoCo the Blogging Dog is forced to make a choice between John McCain or Barack Obama. This has been particularly difficult, as I do not strongly support either candidate. After much thought, I have decided that John McCain will get my vote. This is primarily due to the fact that John McCain is a dog person. As an Arizona Citizen, he is a long time supporter of the Arizona’s Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. John McCain has several dogs living in his home. In addition, he has two turtles, a cat, a ferret, three parakeets and 13 fish.
John McCain has had many pets before considering running for president, it's not for show. He obviously cares about animals, which says something about his character. On the other hand, Barack Obama has no pets, but has claimed if he becomes president he may get a dog. Obama seems to say many things, depending on whatever audience he may be catering to, at that moment. This has been a very tough decision as I am not crazy about either candidate, but I would rather trust the person that likes dogs.
