Mitt Romney is a Chinese pig

The Chinese New Year started this week. What does that have to do with the Republican presidential candidates? Nothing, since none of them are Chinese. But I took a look at what their zodiac signs are on the Chinese calendar anyway. Do any of them sound accurate? Not particularly.

Newt Gingrich: The Goat

The Goat (or Sheep) symbolizes such character traits as creativity, intelligence, dependability, and calmness. Comfortable being alone to ponder the workings of their inner minds, Goats enjoy being part of a group, but prefer the sidelines rather than the center.

Mitt Romney: The Pig

Pigs seek peace and will do what is necessary to maintain it. This trait, while admirable, sometimes makes it easy for others to take advantage of Pigs. Pigs are always doing for others, helping anyway they can, but rarely will they ask others for help. This can overwhelm and stress them, but Pigs don’t mind.

Ron Paul: Also the Pig

Rick Santorum: The Dog

Dogs frequently offer kind words and useful advice, always listening and lending a shoulder when necessary. Dogs often become deeply involved in others’ lives and are sometimes perceived as nosy. Ensuring others are happy is more important to the Dog than wealth, money or success.
