“You are suggesting that a rational person shouldn’t care about accusations of animal abuse in a presidential candidate?”
I’m not hiring a dog walker. I’m hiring a President. Not sure why this is on the radar.
Gingrich.
This was a pretty wicked thing to do, and it took place over 12 hours, and continued even after it had made the dog sick.
Mitt Romney was a wealthy, successful, anti-Reagan business man at the time, what he did to that dog was from pure lack of empathy, of awareness of the suffering of others.
“[The oldest son, Tagg Romney] 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... 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. It was a tiny preview of a trait he would grow famous for in business: emotion-free crisis management.”
Abusing animals is a warning sign of psychopathy or sadism. No rational (and sane) person wants to put a psychopath or sadist in the office of president. Now to be fair, I’m not sure that a Romney supporter could be classified as a rational person, but it’s possible that a otherwise irrational person might be swayed by this issue.
