Romney’s Answer To Pet Overpopulation Question
Sorry if this is a dupe...just saw it myself over at http://www.itchmo.com

Guinea pigs? Gerbils? Guess he thought the question was a joke...or maybe Mittens really is that daft.

---snip---

At an event at Nashua Country Club earlier this week, Mitt Romney was asked this question by the director of the Humane Society for Greater Nashua.

Karen D. Bill asked, “I’d like to ask you a question that has not been asked throughout this whole campaign of any candidate so far. There is an extreme overpopulation crisis of pets in this country. Millions upon millions and there’s very few solutions … I’d like to get your thoughts on over maybe some creative solutions … outside of giving each (illegal aliens) a cat and a dog as they go back home.”

Romney stated, “One of the reason those questions have not been asked is because it has not been thoroughly researched in the way that you have. And I’m gonna use this to describe how I solve tough problems. I don’t know how many excess of pets there are in this country. I have to be honest with that. I was pretty well briefed for the debates the other night. The cat and dog population and guinea pigs and the ones most concerned of course, gerbils … I intend to become better informed I’m sure with your help.”

1. Strap those gerbils & guinea pigs to the roof of your car, Mitt
and take 'em for a ride!

Way to solve tough problems, asshat.

7. I'm usually a spastic typist
but as soon as I read the OP, this image popped into my head and was channeled to my keyboard.

Good ol' Mittster. What a dream candidate.

2. Mitt Romney walks into a bar and pulls three gerbils out of his a**...
and announces that he is doing his part for pet over-population by providing shelter for them.

6. If it's a problem, it's hardly a federal problem.
The tragedy here is that you don't have to ask Romney stupid questions in order to get stupid answers out of him.
