I mean, really, it's not bad enough that he did a complete 180 degree turn on his view of the issues from the time he ran for governor of my home state (Massachusetts) to the time when he decided - oh wow! I'd like to be president...
(Which was about a month into his governorship, as made clear by his reluctance to actually stay in the state he got elected in. Why follow through with your promises to your elected state? Why not start campaigning for that presidency immediately upon fooling the most liberal state in the country with your lies, right Mitty?)
But now there's news of animal abuse at the hand of ol' Mitt.
Oh? You don't think this is abuse? Then you tell me how anyone with even an ounce of compassion could strap a large Irish Setter in his crate to the ROOF OF A CAR for a TWELVE HOUR TRIP.
Let me say that again: A DOG. Strapped TO THE ROOF. Of a CAR. For TWELVE HOURS. In the SUMMER.
We already have a man with no brain running our country, do we really need a man with no heart stepping into the job of President?
Hey, Mitt, way to teach your boys a lesson in kindness. "Emotion-free crisis management"? How about complete indifference to life?
Unfortunately, the statute of limitations (15 years) is up and Romney can't be prosecuted for terrorizing his dog so badly that the poor animal completely lost control of his bowels. And not just a little. The poor dog was so sick the feces ran down the side of the car. Now that's a lot of shit.
But not as much as you might find at any Romney for President rally. Any person with half a brain could smell what he's slinging from a mile away. Now that he's been exposed for being a fraud (with his flip-flopping on the issues) and a cruel bastard with no compassion for life, if this heartless jerk gets elected I'm moving to Canada.
At least I won't have to be strapped to the roof of a car to get there.
(Oh dear. I'm shouting. I'm sorry. I just Can. Not. Stand. That. Man. or his original compatriot.)
I? Have NOT ONE THING TO SAY about Mitt except I freaking well told everyone so!
I said I lived in Belmont for a few years and NEVER SAW HIM THERE. I lived in Beverly even longer and NEVER SAW HIM THERE EITHER.
He was not a Massachusettsian. Is not.
I said he is using MA as a stepping stone.
I said he has no desire to do anything good for this state because he's already four years past MA.
I said he's not good for MA and I don't agree with well, pretty much anything about him.
I. Said. So.
I was not fooled. Not for one hot second.
Not that I would likely vote Republican but I would NEVER vote for Mitt.
Err sorry to go all ranty. I am not a fan of his. Clearly. To state the obvious.
And to be cruel to dogs? Well, that just adds more bile to the nausea. Good grief. Roof of car. Must go wash mind with clorox to get rid of visual. Must go rinse nasty taste out of mouth.

You can tell a lot about people by how they treat animals (and that includes cats, which many wack jobs consider to be exempt from deserving human kindness) and this story about Romney speaks VOLUMES.
I wasn't going to vote for him anyway but I hope this sways anyone who was because there is simply NO WAY to rationalize such a cruel act.
Asshole.

OMG! That is just too much! Not like I was leaning toward him in the first place.

Oh come on. Can't you just move to Canada anyway?

He doesn't really have a chance of winning, does he? (Please say no!)

I saw that article the other day, and I was aghast. Why not just board the poor thing or pay a neighbor kid five bucks a day to feed, water and walk him?
Unbelievable.
I am ignorant of Romney and his policies, but this isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of him as a human being.

I can only think of one reason why the dog was on the roof instead of being in the car. Maybe the dog was inclined to pass wind. Now that would upset the human occupants seeing as they are obviously so full of .... themselves.

If there is anything good about the Michael Vick story, it is that there is an emerging increased awareness about animal cruelty and animal fighting. However…
I think it is a sad commentary that we, as a culture, are using the Vick story to compare “What’s worse?” “What’s worse”, we ask, “carelessly fathering illegitimate children, or dogfighting?”. “Dogfighting or gambling?” “Dogfighting or rape?” “Dogfighting or racism?” “Dogfighting or hateful nationalism?” “Dogfighting or (fill in the blank)….?” The comparisons to dogfighting have been endless.
Dogfighting is one more piece of evidence our country is in need of a spiritual transformation (please note I said spiritual and not necessarily religious). Animals are sentient beings - they feel pain, and they suffer, just like we do. They are not more important, or less important than human beings, but like human beings, they are important, too.
Every major faith teaches its followers to be responsible stewards of animals and the Earth. Please help us get the word out that caring for animals, just like caring for people, is an important part of just being a decent person and citizen. If we make this a priority, there will be no more dogfighting horror stories, and no more pointless comparisons of evils. Let us all rise, together, to be better people than we are today, shall we?

Definitely out of his league. Better be silent.
