Mitt Romney’s speech on RomneyCare: "No, I’m not sorry"

Every dog lover in America will diss Romney.

"But the details of the event are more than unseemly - they may, in fact, be illegal. Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon. "An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer, Nadia Branca, declined to give a definitive opinion on whether Romney broke the law but did note that it's against state law to have a dog in an open bed of a pick-up truck, and "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

"Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch? - Scientists Say Dog Likely Experienced Wind-Whipped, Uncomfortable Trip - "Before beginning the drive, Mitt Romney put Seamus, the family's hulking Irish setter, in a dog carrier and attached it to the station wagon's roof rack. e'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog,".. Jordan Kaplan, the owner of Petaholics, a dog walking service in New York City,
and a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, said Romney's actions were uncalled for"

"Romney's dog - This is a distinction Mitt Romney probably could do without, but he is surely the first presidential candidate to be attacked for putting a dog with diarrhea in a carrier and tying it to the top of a station wagon. Romney's defense: Seamus liked it. [like the citizens under Romney's RomneyCARE, etc.?] "

"As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he glimpsed the first sign of trouble. ''Dad!'' he yelled. ''Gross!'' A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who'd been riding on the roof in the wind for hours. As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, Romney coolly pulled off the highway and into a service station. There, he borrowed a hose, washed down Seamus and the car, then hopped back onto the highway."

Romney's bad behavior Exposed by Seamus

"Romney Loses Nomination Over Dog Abuse? - Romney was traveling that summer with his wife, five sons, and Seamus to his parent's cottage on Lake Huron. But hours into the ride, Seamus apparently suffered diarrhea, which ran down the back window of the car. .David Kravitz wrote on BlueMassGroup, a liberal blog. "It also strikes me as classic Romney: it solves a problem efficiently, in a business-like manner, and with no regard whatsoever for the suffering that the solution may cause."

The Romney pix didn’t come through. That whole deal with him leaving the dog on the outside of his care should be enough to put him out of the race. He has no chance. He was rejected once and will be again.

Mitt Romney is hoping to snare the votes of independents and 'moderate' (read: quasi-Democrat) Republicans. I can see why he wouldn't backtrack on RomneyCare. Mitt knows he has no chance to get conservative's votes. So, he figures he'll run as a 'moderate' Republican, much like George W. Bush ran as a 'compassionate conservative'. I always hated that term as it presumes conservatism isn't compassionate, which is a fallacy - but that's a separate issue.

It's become clear that the leftmedia will pretend Romney is the 'front-runner' and Americas choice to be the 2012 GOP presidential candidate who will politely cede the election to Obama from Day One, much as the compliant John McCain did, once he had taken 'his turn'. We know the truth is that (a) Romney is not the favorite of anyone but the left who thinks he's weak and, (b) Romney and the leftmedia are woefully underestimating the anger and near-despair of the American people who desperately want an authentic, honest person to vote for, not another slick, say-anything-to-get-elected phoney. Unfortunately for him, that description perfectly fits Mitt Romney. He will soon see even the left's skewed poll numbers for him begin to slide downward. If Sarah Palin declares her candidacy, Romney's presidential dreams will quickly evaporate in the face of reality, even if he continues to campaign.

So, not apologizing for RomneyCare seems almost an unavoidable move for Romney. One that will help sink his candidacy. The sooner, the better. This country can't afford another four years of Obama and the GOP can't afford to keep running 'me-too' RINOs against dedicated Marxists such as Barack Hussein Obama. This could be our last chance to save America from full-blown socialism. A 'go-along-to-get-along' phoney like Mitt Romney won't do. Not this time.

Stick a fork in Willard...he's DONE!

Stick a fork in Willard...he's DONE!

I'm not convinced of that at all. I expect a reverse Op Chaos with Dems bringing a lot of primary votes for Mitty.

A Mitt nomination makes a Tea Party challenger a sure thing, and opens the door to a Clintonian plurality win for Baraq.

He, and Newt can sit there butts on the back bench up in the nose bleed section.

Romneycare is as hated as Tenncare and 0care.

I hocked part of your rant, and am posting it to the socialized Med thread..hope you don’t mind, I could not have said it better.

Like you Jim, I will NOT go along to get along! Not this time. I will prepare for
a total collapse of the country and take care of my family.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM - EVAH!
