“Why is this less believable than Romney lies,
Romney dog abuse, Romney fascism, and Romney coverrups?”

Well, I’m not sure what you mean by “dog abuse” “fascism”, even “coverrups”, but I don’t think it’s hard to level the charge that Romney is a liar. When he says he’s been as “consistent as a human being could possibly be”, that is clearly a false statement, not to mention also being an insult to the intelligence of anyone with an IQ higher than Forrest Gump.

No-I have no personal dislike for Romney, he seems like a nice enough guy. But I vehemently oppose him as our nominee because he’s brought flip-flopping to a level never before seen. There’s no way to know for sure where he really stands on anything, but if his record as gov of Mass is any indication, he is politically on par with Scott Brown, who is the second or third most liberal Republican in the Senate-and there’s a lot of competition in the Senate for the top RINO award. Since Brown was Romney’s point man in the Mass state senate, his politics are a good indicator of how Romney might govern.

Being a RINO is bad enough, but what’s worse with Romney is he’s unelectable too. With the transparency of his flip-flopping plain as day for all to see on YouTube, it wont take a billion dollar budget to educate the public to this fact. Conservative turnout will be more depressed than with McCain, and there is a very real possibility of a 3rd party getting around 20% of the vote if Romney gets in-especially if it’s a case where he splits the vote roughly 4 ways and gets no more than 30% to 35% in any contest. This will enrage conservatives, cause we’ll know we’ve been played by the “divide and conquer” strategy of the GOP elites.

Bottom line-there is really nothing redeemable about nominating Romney. Still, all that said, I think this airplane story is utter nonsense.

The MSM is holding the other stories like Romney's dog abuse.

"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."
