Fun Facts - History of that Donkey


They say Andrew Jackson had been labeled a jackass by his opponents during the intense mudslinging that occurred during the presidential race of 1828.

This reminds me of when I was running for student government president and one of my opponents called our supporters a bunch of "ants". He did not mean it in a nice way but we just "went with it" and proceeded to print t-shirts with a bunch of "ants" building a better campus.

So there you go... turn a negative into a positive!

Many people don't know that the rooster has also been the symbol of the Democrats.

The rooster was used in Midwestern states.
