Why my dog may be the next big Republican presidential candidate

I have known for a long while now that my dog had strong Republican leanings because of the fact that he is quite stupid. Recently, however, it came to my attention that he was a full-fledged, registered Republican. How do I know? Well, I discovered that my dog is evil as well as stupid, as this candid photo clearly illustrates. I'm letting the world know because I am concerned--I know it is only a matter of time before the established Republican leadership comes looking for my dog to be their candidate. I know he is just what they have been looking for. Besides being stupid and evil he is obviously extremely white. He also does exactly what he is told. Moreover, he is constantly making messes that others have to clean up. His blatant disregard for the environment is a spectacle to behold. Observing this, it dawned on me that he was some kind of Republican political genius. With moves like that does Mitt Romney even stand a chance with the conservative base? I think not. Like Newt Gingrich my dog is fascinated with the moon. Like Herman Cain he likes pizza. Like Michelle Bachmann he looks cute when he is dressed up in people clothes. Ron Paul and my dog have pretty much an equivalent understanding of the gold standard and the Federal Reserve. 

Now, despite my dog's political positions, I love him. He is a very good dog. I just wish he would stay my dog and not become the President of the United States. He has no business running the free world. He is too stupid for that. Unfortunately I know that is clearly their thing. My dog may very well be the next Republican President of the United States.
