   traits our candidate will have also — the right amount of vigor and energy, a cool temper but feisty when you need to be.

   Also, donkeys smell. At least the Republicans aren’t going to an elephant beauty pageant to pick their mascot.

   Random knowledge: The 1st Corps Support Command down at Fort Bragg (before it was renamed) had a donkey for its mascot. It’s name was “Blackjack” and he held the rank of Sergeant.

   I have avoided using the word “jackass” to describe the democraps. I guess it’s ok now.

   Will Mordecai be wearing a Sombrero?

   They’ll probably hire “Juan Valdez” to be the “handler” at the convention …

   Mordecai will be just another Gov’t mule looking for his handout of Gov’t cheese. And isn’t that what the Dems want? They want to be the ones doling out the Gov’t cheese.

    Donkey - definition:

    1. The domesticated ass (Equus asinus).
    2. Slang An obstinate person.
    3. Slang A stupid person.

    Democrat - definition:

    1. The unmitigated ass (Equus asinus).
    2. Slang An obstinate person.
    3. Slang A stupid person.

    Sounds like a perfect fit as a mascot to the Democrat party.

    Mordecai beat out nine other contestants?

    Mordecai’s owner [is] a two-time Democratic congressional candidate

    I smell a fix. The other donkeys should demand an investigation.

    Very appropriate. Every I hear some Dem rant about protecting children, global warming, evil corporations, exploited workers etc.. I am reminded of a braying donkey. Except the donkey is more interesting.

    Oh, god, no! They would vote, protest the vote, spend millions of tax payer dollars recounting, spend millions more recounting the recounting, take it to court and protest the outcome all the way to the Supreme Court.

    It was very surpriseing that Gov. Bill Ritter and the rest of the demodonks did not rush over to the stock yards and get in photo ops with the jackass.

    It was said that they were afraid they would not be recognised as they all looked so much alike.

    Yet another embarissing moment in Colorado/Denver history.

    Maybe Teddy-boy will get drunk (or stay drunk) and someone will photograph him riding around on Mordecai at the convention. I wonder what PETA would say to that? Not that it would be worth listening to.

    Shrillary would win hands down.

    They’re going to have a live donkey at their convention. Isn’t the convention going to be loud with lots of lights? Isn’t it cruel to submit the animal to such an environment? Aren’t the democrats and particularly their supports against any form of real or imagined animal cruelty?

    I think the cruelest part is forcing it into a room full of liberals with no avenue of escape.

    Okay. Can you define the word “ride”? We might need a little clarification. LOL

    It really says something about a group of people who take pride in being associated with a jackass. I have always believed the symbolism was appropriate.

    Not just this year, metalhead. But, appropriate, nonetheless.

    I think the aye-aye is a better fit for the image the Democrat party projects.

    The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world’s largest nocturnal primate (except for Bill Clinton), and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out (If that doesn’t sound like Rock the Vote, I don’t know what does).

    Plus, the aye-aye bears a striking resemblance to Dennis Kucinich.

    I’m thinking that would be cruel and unusual punishment for the donkey.
