[Colonel Kangaroo]

The rooster was once the party symbol of the Democrats and a cockfighting theme was used in many political illustrations.

Stephen A Douglas defeats James Buchanan as John C. Breckenridge is ready to enter the cockpit.

Glad you cleared up something for me. I had never heard the Rat Party connection to Rooster Fighting.

Here’s one for you. Caddis the Younger’s sister-in-law lives just north of A Sheville, NC, in a small, liberal college town. The mayor is a rooster fighter and all that goes along even in Wa. state. Is Michael Vick a republican or what?
Aren’t the Dims having a great time right now.
