Elephants are near-sighted and can only see things near them (just as Republicans can only see things within USA borders). Elephants have big ears for a primary sense as a natural-gift (this is why Republicans need wire-tapping & ease-dropping programs -- to hear third-world country attacks from abroad, etc.); these programs give USA abilities to hear impending dangers before happening (against planned enemy attacks). Elephants can create a stampede to counteract danger (to stomp-out enemy attacks -- this is what has kept US safe thus far). Elephants are heavy weight champions for USA -- in order to nurture our offspring -- with USA military strength). Elephants hold-on tightly to their offspring, by curling their tails, hanging-on to babies trunks (just as Republicans want to do for future USA children). Elephants cool off with water by their trunks, to refresh themselves, these are is reflective moments (which is what enables Republicans to have calm, cool, collected attitudes). Elephants roll-around in mud to protect their skin from atmospheric elements (just as Republicans advocate military armor for USA safety, which is provided by our troops armor). Certain entities always try to strip Elephants of their ivory Tusks, which is what protects them for jabbing enemies (just as some want to strip USA military funding for our troops). Elephants get skinned for hardy leathers (symbolic of USA troop armor, as proposed reductions). Elephants are killed for their feet (sold as exotic table-stands), which symbolic of USA troop powers. Donkeys seem to have natural abilities to spat-out HEE HAWs (lacking class like Democrat jack a .. es). Donkeys love to jack-up their a .. es by directive-communication-attitu des which is poor for foreign relations (Democrats appear to lack nurturing for protecting USA). Donkey goals seem to be USA defense reductions (rather than ensuring future lives), making US more vulnerable to attacks from afar. Donkeys appear to want extinct offspring instead. Stopping the war, may seem right to Democrats (appealing to those who do not feel necessities to sacrifice their lives for our country). Current USA military death tolls are a complaint, but in a USA 2001 attack, thousands were killed and hundreds wounded; and today, are still slowly being killed by after-effects of ground-zero-air. If we do not vote Republican (elephants) to protect us, the Democrat (donkeys) will ensure the death of our future. Democrats play-up on desires to embrace DENIALS; Donkeys kick and jack-up their Hydes -- to mate with Horses -- causing Mule offspring. Mules cannot have babies, because breeding with Horses, cut-off future offspring seed.
