"it's like you're trying to give a dog a pill. They keep spitting it up." Carville, Jan 3.

and they're still spitting.

There is one screaming, huge story here tonight and that is these Republicans just don't want to vote for Mitt Romney. I mean it's like you're trying to give a dog a pill. They keep spitting it up. Now, they're going to eat the pill, 'cause Romney's going to eventually be the nominee, but.

Let me break it to you gently -- you've got a first-class disaster on your hands.

down my pup's throat to get her to swallow a pill. I guess that's what the Repub Elites are doing to their base. Gag on it you bastards!

Covering a pill with some peanut butter usually works for me

I hope Rmoney doesn't figure that out.

I don't know how big your dog is. Mine are 26 and 18 pounds.

If the peanut butter trick fails, I get them in a headlock, put the pill in the back of the mouth, then hold the mouth closed until the critter swallows.

That worked when we had the 75-pound Samoyed too, but she would swallow anything including whole socks (without the human foot) so it doesn't really count.

The pills would get spit up

The Pill Pockets would get nibbled up to the point where the pill appeared

The liquid would flavor the food so they don't eat it

8. Nah, dogs are easy to medicate. Give a cat a pill--I think that's much closer
