Romney's Dog Not Looking Forward to Next Family Vacation

Tref · 06-27-2007, 10:27 PM

Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus's rather visceral protest.

Asked how the ride was, Romney's dog Seamus reportedly replied, "Ruff!"

Such cruelty is sure to earn him the Republican nomination.

He put the dog on the *roof*????? Poor thing.

STC, that's funny.

Who'd call their kid "Mitt" ?!?! WTF.

Cruelty begets cruelty

No offense, especially since I don't think it's right to do that to any animal, I find it rather amusing that it's coming out now, just after the evangelicals bashed him for being a Mormon, being of Satan, and otherwise not believing in Jesus. (For those not in the know, Mormons believe in Jesus. Up until recently (all that social-conservative pressure!) he was pro-choice - a surefire sign that he was totally a part of Satan's posse.)

I'm not saying I'd vote for the guy... I'm just saying that all the ignorance and digging up of dirt that happened 24 years ago is pretty much what keeps me disenchanted with the political system and many of the people voting within it.

I shouldn't even expect it to be any different, nor should I continue hoping it would be. As the political pendulum swings left and right, the only thing I'm assured of is that it's all a part of the same clock.

I didn't realize this was in the past. Still not right, but hopefully he's learned better.

I'm not sure how I feel about him being a Mormon and potentially president. I guess as long as he doesn't let Jesus make political policy, then I don't care what religion he follows as long as it's sort of sane. A pro-choice stance certainly garners some support. Especially in the face of religious pressure to believe otherwise.

I'm with you, BE, in that I hate the political system.

Did I miss the reference to the date that occurred in the article? Or did they fail to mention it? Because it sure seemed like this was something that just happened.

I think anyone that would strap a dog to the roof of a car is an asshole. I don't think you outgrow that sort of asshole either. I know nothing else about him, but I'm certain he's an asshole.
