 thisnamecantbetaken says: This says a lot about one's character IMO, or lack thereof. Where I come from, pets are family. Pets are *people*. You do not abandon them. They are not "things" you just toss away on a whim. Pets are "adoptions, not aquisitions." Watch out Hillary, there are lots of voting animal lovers out there. Wouldn't it be a thrill, if a cat got to influence who became president... or not? Yay, go Socks!!  "No pet left behind" Hillary!! They can have my girlfriends cats. Aww, cuteness in action, alanocu. So sweet! Or maybe the Clintons are away so much that it wasn't fair to the cat. They may have done Socks a favor. Don't be so cynical I'm sure HRC is aware that this story is circulating on the Internet and has prepared a response in case a question about Socks is sprung on her in the next debate. She will say that having to part with dear, sweet Socks almost broke her heart but she had to do it in the best interest of the kitty. I'm not sure exactly what reason Hillary will give for the parting being necessary, but I'm confident that it will not involve Monica Lewinsky. Come oooooonnnn, folks! I'm no fan of the Clintons...but this is propaganda of the worst type; making insinuations and judgments without solid facts is NOT democratic at all! Old and Crafty Old and CraftyYeah, maybe he is, but a sweet cat nonetheless. Haha! *LOL* this is propaganda of the worst typeNo, it's not. People want to know about character. Where politicians stand on issues, how they think, trying to guess at their future actions and priorities if and when they're elected. During these election times, you're always gonna hear about candidates who see UFO's, who abandon cats, got divorced, wore a dress, smoked pot, masturbated in coffins, dodged the draft, had a mistress, stole candy from babies, etc etc etc... and there are probably a few "breaking news" spots about extra-marital kids or gay affairs out there somewhere too, just waiting to be sprung. (Isn't there always?) This is the Game of Elections. It's up to you to *deci... I beg to differ. This is propaganda and speculation. Does anyone know for sure that the cat was heartlessly and coldly thrown away like an old Sock? Things are not always as they appear. On a lighter side, maybe we'll get another "Checkers" speech out of this, and it will go down in the annals of american political history. From everything I can find out TN, Betty Curie has had the cat for nearly 7 years now and she spent a lot of times with Socks when she worked in the White House and grew attached to him. That was reported at the time, but now this story is recirculating via the Murdoch Times. If the cat's happy and in good hands, does that mean he's dumped? Anyway, the reason Socks was given away will probably never be known to us  Damned that woman! Another reason why i don't like Hillary. The neighbors cat wondered into our yard and adopted us for a couple of years. It was a beautiful but not too bright Seal Point Siamese. We had a winter where the snow stayed on the ground for several days. Any cat we had (since we lived in the country) was taught to ask to go outside. Sam could not deal with the snow as it made his stinger cold. So he held it in and got sick. We took him to the vet and got him well again but it required catheterization. When we brought him home we set him on the ground and he fled, with sand and dirt flying beneath his paws, back to the neighbor where he lived the remainder of his life. Dumped by a cat........ you can't trust them. Anyway, the reason Socks was given away will probably never be known to usExactly why everyone trying to to make an issue of this should stand down. I don't know if I could give a cat up. I have a soft spot for pets. But your right, we need more info on this one. The cat is probably better off NOT being with the Clintons. I mean, do you honestly think that Hillary would give a @&$! about you? Bill probably gave the cat more attention than her. She's a bizatch. I wouldn't want to be her pet. When they left the White House they took everyting that wasn't nailed down. Probably funding her campaign with private auctions of Presidential China from Air Force One and other memorabilia I wonder how much she got paid for the cat?? You got proof of that roix....accusing people of theft is a dozy. Socks... eventually lost the position of principal Clinton pet in 1997 when the Clintons acquired Buddy, a Labrador Retriever. At this point some fans of Socks joked that Socks had been "voted out of office"... Socks found Buddy's intrusion intolerable; according to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Socks "despised Buddy from first sight, instantly and forever". Bill Clinton said, "I did better with ... the Palestinians and the Israelis than I've done with Socks and Buddy." When the Clintons left the White House in 2001 they took Buddy to their new home, but left Socks under the care of Bill Clinton's secretary, Betty Currie. Socks was only the fourth cat to occupy the White House since Franklin Roo... |
