I’ve told a lot of stories about my buddy, Pig. Pig got his nickname from his Uncle Bob when he ‘uz just a baby....’n all these years later, he’s still ‘Pig’ to his friends.....
Brother John wuz tellin’ me about ‘Yella-dog Democrats’..
That ‘ud be a southern Democrat, a bred in the bone, dyed in the wool, vote the ticket or die Democrat who’d vote for a yella dog if he wuz on the ticket.....Now, I ain’t callin’ Pig a Yella-dog Democrat, but Greenup County, Kentucky is and has been s’long as ‘most folks c’n recall, a Democrat county....Republicans in Greenup County generally stay in the closet or move....Louie Bentley, an old running mate of brother John, is the Greenup County Republican. He ran for office on the Republican ticket. His many friends love him but they didn’t vote for him......anyway, I’ve been givin’ some tho’t to Pig and the dilemma he appears to be in this political season....is he gonna hold his nose ‘n vote for the Yella-dog........ or...(gasp...shudder-shudder) vote for McCain..... I’m thinkin’ that ‘ud be a hard decision for a bred in the bone Democrat.....
