Does anyone know if this is true about Mitt Romney? If so why is it not been talk about that much?

1. The first oganization is real

Perhaps you could log onto the site and answer the question yourself.

2. That still won't answer why this has yet to be used against him more.

Forget Big Bird. This would make a lot more people think about him. If he cares so little about a dog, his own dog, what does that say about him in general? This would be some I would play the heck out of if I was the Obama Camp. If it is documented, they better start to use it and hard.

14. Watch this. Then ask your question.

3. George Bush was named Governor of the Year by the Safari Club International

the world's number one canned hunting organization, that makes it a point to feed its members dishes made with endangered species like lions, tigers, and elephants at its annual meetings. Daddy Bush attended the event to accept the trophy on behalf of his son. The organization celebrated Bush for making the State of Texas the country's most canned-hunting friendly place in the country.

You barely ever heard a peep about this in the media, lest it offend animal lovers.

4. because most people wouldn't think its a big deal

so he had his dog in a dog carrying container on the roof. So? the dog probably loved every minute of it, wind blowing in its face, dogs love that shit.

[lunatica]

7. Are you serious?

the dog shat himself during that trip because he was so scared. It covered the back window so Mitt had to make a stop and hose it and the dog off before continuing on. The trip lasted 12 hours.

[quinnox]

9. every dog I've ever seen loves to poke their heads out the window

or traveling in the open air on the back of the truck.

[Quantess]

8. What?

You aren't usually sarcastic.
A lot of people thought it was deplorable, for good reason.

[quinnox]

11. I happen to disagree with them

hopefully that isn't a crime.

[lunatica]

16. No crime to disagree, unless you do the same to a dog, or any pet.

Especially if the dog's shit is obstructing your view.

Wow! Just wow!

[quinnox]

17. ok, the next time I see a dog riding in the back of a truck, enjoying

the hell out of the wind, I'll pull the driver over and take him to task for animal cruelty!

[lunatica]

19. And you think that's the same as what Romney did?

Yeah, be a jerk.

[Segami]

20. Sorry, not the same by a country wide mile.

[JI7]

12. not true, even wingnuts used it against Romney during the Republican Primary

Newt Gingrich used it against Romney.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

22. Then why is it not being used now!

Crated dog tied to car roof for vacation trip
Boston, MA (US)

Incident Date: Tuesday, May 31, 1983
County: Suffolk

Disposition: Not Charged

Person of Interest: Mitt Romney

Animal lovers hit the roof after it was revealed that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney strapped his Irish setter to the top of his car during a 12-hour family drive from Boston to Ontario, terrifying the hapless dog and causing a health hazard to fellow road-users.

According to the Boston Globe, the former Massachusetts governor placed the dog, called Seamus, in a kennel attached to the roof of his white Chevy station wagon. He and his wife and five sons then set off on holiday. After a few miles, Mr Romney's eldest son, Tagg, raised the alarm. "Dad!" he yelled. "Gross!" A brown liquid was dripping down the rear windscreen.

In protest at his treatment perhaps, Seamus had suffered a diarrhea attack. The results made driving difficult. Exhibiting presidential-style cool in a crisis, and with his family howling in disgust, Mr Romney pulled over. He borrowed a hosepipe and washed down Seamus, the car, and the kennel - then set off again with the dog still on the roof.

10. I've known about it for 2 years and it's been around longer than that

13. The whole dog issue, which I agree was terrible, is a side issue, like Big Bird.

They generates a lot of chatter, jokes and comments and people will tsk, tsk. But in the end, neither is important enough an issue for the MSM to keep mentioning. You would hope however, that there would be a point when all of these issues, including, Mitt's habit of bullying, avoiding the draft, not releasing tax records, changing his state of residency retroactively so he could run for Governor of Massachusetts, his serial lying, etc would be rolled up into a huge condemnation of his character

[Blue Idaho]

15. If he will do that to the family pet...

Just think what he's planning on doing to us if he gets elected...

[Segami]

18. Mitt's bizarre behavior could harbor deeper roots of a closeted, sick fetish.

[Terra Alta]

21. Most Republicans don't care about animals.

Fetuses, yes, but living, breathing animals? Not so much.

I do think Obama needs to find a way to bring this up in the next debate. I'm sure there are some animal-loving undecideds out there who don't know about how Rmoney treated his family pet.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

23. That what I say!

You bring in the treatment of a pet, people look at their own and then start thinking. Just like with people and their kids.

24. Don't forget

the Romney's abused horse that was drugged up and sold as a dressage horse, and the Romney's were promptly sued (and settled out of court).
