With Obama's recent derogatory remarks about pigs, hog farmers across America have united behind the McCain/Palin ticket. The offending comments taking a jab at Palin and lipstick had an unintended effect of rallying hog farmers, who previously had been on the fence. Billy Smith of South Carolina says, "I hope the next time Obama eats a piece a bacon, a sausage biscuit, or has a bite of ham that it will stick in his throat a little bit and will cause him to think of just how valuable "pigs" are. Frankly, we are tired of having our product disrespected."
Pigs are important to our economy and in this political climate they should not be underestimated.
