What's with the animals in the government and stock market?
Why do they use the Donkey and Elephant to represent the parties in government and why do they call it a Bull or Bear with the stock market? Who thought this stuff up anyway and what prompted them to use those particular animals?

Yes, actually, it appears they do feel we are dull. Don't depression, even though, aid is at the means. Do your facet and vote out the Democrat majority in 2010, then conclude the process in 2012. All isn't misplaced, we will be able to come again once more, it'll simply take a little bit longer due to the fact that Obama and his merry band of Marxists have made matters plenty worse than they had to be.

because people see the same qualities in those animals as they do in the respective group.
