In the picture above there is an image of a pit bull and a pig standing with their backs facing each other both putting on lipstick. In the bubble of above them is written “Remember when politics was just elephants and donkeys?”
The picture was obviously drawn to poke fun at the whole issue involving John McCain, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama. After Sarah Palin made a joke that went somewhere along the lines of what is the difference between a pit bull and a soccer mom is lipstick , Obama was attacked by the Republican party a couple of days later for using the same expression. All of a sudden the race turns towards pigs and lipsticks. The bubble saying “Remember when politics was just elephants and donkeys?” it is just trying to say that the political race and everyone in it is so easily distracted with smaller non important issues that they do not look at the political parties themselves. If individuals were intelligent they wouldn’t let something so small sway their votes and throw them off track from what is really of any significance.
