Do I Vote for a Monkey or a Dog? More Odd Ways to Pick Your Presidential Candidate... The Chinese Zodiac.


SC6 Investigation Reveals Most Politicians are Pigs !!



OK, you can fit all that I know about Chinese Astrology in a thimble, but that doesn't stop me sometimes. I actually started this post before I even researched it, so we'll learn as we go along.



They have 12 symbols, like standard Zodiac, but instead of your sign being the month of your birth, it goes by the year of your birth - therefore, Year of the Monkey, Dog, Rabbit, etc. The one thing I learned was that they have a couple consistencies. Four years difference between people is a good match, and six is very bad. I was reading the placemat at a restaurant once that had this, and all I remember seeing was my ex's say "Beware the Monkey". Damn, that placemat was pretty smart!



You can add the 12 years to the difference, and maybe it makes a bit of sense. Fred Thompson's wife is 28 years his junior - 12x2 + 4 = 28. Maybe they are made for each other. As for me, if there were someone 23 years old around, that might be a good match as well. Not trying to justify anything - I'm just saying. ;)

Here we are - the Chinese Zodiac, and Your Politicians...


Year of the Dragon (1940, 52, 64, 76, 88)
People born in the Year of the Dragon are healthy, energetic, excitable, short-tempered, and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave, and they inspire confidence and trust. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the eastern zodiac. They neither borrow money nor make flowery speeches, but they tend to be soft-hearted which sometimes gives others an advantage over them. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters.
Jim Clyburn.


Year of the Snake (1941, 53, 65, 77, 89)
People born in the Year of the Snake are deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snake people are often quite vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people's judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. They are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate. Snake people are usually good-looking and sometimes have marital problems because they are fickle. They are most compatible with the Ox and Rooster.
John Edwards.



Year of the Horse(1942, 54, 66,78)
People born in the Year of the Horse are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money, and perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much.

They like entertainment and large crowds. They are very independent and rarely listen to advice. They are most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep.
Fred Thompson, John Spratt.



Year of the Ram (1943, 55, 67, 79)
People born in the Year of Ram are elegant and highly accomplished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac's other years. But ram year people are often shy, pessimistic, and puzzled about life. They are usually deeply religious, yet timid by nature. Sometimes clumsy in speech, they are always passionate about what they do and what they believe in. Ram people never have to worry about having the best in life for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature comforts that they like. Ram people are wise, gentle, and compassionate. They are compatible with Rabbits, Pigs, and Horses.
Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee.



Year of the Monkey (1944, 56, 68, 80)
People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn't be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly. They are most compatible with the Dragon and Rat.
Rudy Giuliani, Mike Reino.


Year of the Rooster(1945, 57, 69, 81)
People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are! They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people¡¦s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon.
Andre Bauer.


Year of the Dog (1946, 58, 70, 82)
People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.
None. That should tell you something.


Year of the Pig (1935, 47, 59, 71, 83)
People born in the Year of the Pig are chivalrous and gallant. Whatever they do, they do with all their strength. For Boar Year people, there is no left or right and there is no retreat. They have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life, and anyone having a Boar Year friend is fortunate for they are extremely loyal. They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge. They study a great deal and are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarreling. They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out, honestly if sometimes impulsively. They are most compatible with Rabbits and Sheep. Henry Brown, Joe Wilson, Bob Inglis, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson. Holy Smokes!!

They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed. They are most compatible with Snake, Rooster, and Rat people.

Gresham Barrett, Barack Obama.

Year of the Tiger (1950, 62, 74, 86)

Tiger people are sensitive, given to deep thinking, capable of great sympathy. They can be extremely short-tempered, however. Other people have great respect for them, but sometimes tiger people come into conflict with older people or those in authority. sometimes Tiger people cannot make up their minds, which can result in a poor, hasty decision or a sound decision arrived at too late. They are suspicious of others, but they are courageous and powerful. Tigers are most compatible with Horses, Dragons, and Dogs .

None.

Year of the Rabbit (1951, 63, 75, 87)

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.

Jim DeMint.

There you are. While it's not exactly scientific, once again it shows why I support Rudy and Mark Sanford. Meanwhile , Andre Bauer is a Rooster (he did go to USC), and almost every politician is a Pig! Where do I get this stuff?? I have a lot of extra time this week..

Based upon the 6 yr rule, that would explain your dislike of lindsey. See, maybe this isn't so hokey after all.

Watching Madagascar again, being a monkey mightn't be such a bad deal... we can "throw poo" and shame on the effete leftist that takes issue with it, it is just in the nature of a monkey to do so.
