CNN demonstrated just how in the pocket of the Democratic party they are–a few minutes ago they featured a donkey rescue organization. That’s a smoking gun in my book. 😉

Before you get political, note the forum. It’s a joke, son.

I’ll bet the Democrats are much more likely to support saving African elephants than they are concerned wit donkeys. And I suspect they are more concerned about it than Republicans.

I suspect they’re more concerned about protecting donkeys than Republicans as well. That’s the bit of truth in it.

That’s certainly not the _only_ bit of truth in it. 😉
