A Romney Dog’s Life

Not very bright. And to publicize it: even more not-very-bright.

When you think about it, the Boston Globe article was a wee bit over the top, too. I mean, hosing down a dog is hardly my idea of crisis management. Now if the dog had fallen off the roof and got run over by another vehicle and Romney somehow saved its life, THAT would be crisis management.

[samtheman]

It’s only a shade sillier than trying to pump up Romney’s credentials because he “saved the olympics”. Pardon me while I yawn.

My uncle bought a beautiful home that had a dog kennel in the backyard. When his kids were toddlers and his wife was doing errands, he would lock the kids in the kennel whenever he wanted to work outside.

It was big... originally made for a pair of German Shepards with a cement floor, shelter and a 6', chain-link fence/gait surrounding it. But as far as I know... it never traveled on a highway doing 60.

I’m not a huge Romney fan, nor have I followed the dog story, but didn’t Clinton’s dog get hit by a car because it got into traffic. That’s not being a responsible dog owner either, and I never heard the press say a word. Also, didn’t the Clinton’s give away their cat...the one that was supposed to be so “close to the family.” I have dogs, they’re part of the family, but I don’t think I’ll pick a Presidential candidate based on how he treats his dog.

Not that I would have voted for him anyway, but this rules it out entirely.

... and you never stole again.

With all the other reasons not to vote for Romney, this is the least of them. One thing’s for sure: this dog won’t hunt - neither did his owner!

[xtinct]

That is, a PETA friendly liberal...

[CDHart]

I sent an e-mail to Romney's fundraisers that I thought he should be charged with animal cruelty.

I may tie a stuffed dog to the top of the car on the way to the Iowa Straw poll.
Gotta have a little fun....

[Hot Tabasco]

At least the dog wasn’t tied to the bumper......

[theothercheek]

Take pictures and post them on this thread - and ping me!!!!

[theothercheek]

Yup, coulda been worse.

[theothercheek]

LOL!

[George W. Bush]

This whole dog story is just stupid. Funny. But stupid.

[rockabyebaby]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, so there was a little issue with a dog in 1983,,,,,,,and the BIG DEAL is what????? At least the man didn’t MURDER SOMEONE. Let’s get our priorities in order class, hosing down a dog is now a big deal and yet here in MA the idiots continue to elect a bleepin’ MURDERER.

[theothercheek]

It’s summer - the season for funnay but stupid. It’s something like 115 in PHX - too hot to think!

[theothercheek]

The only big deal is that if this is an example of Romney’s leadership and crisis management, we’re all in deep doo-doo if he’s elected because the WOT requires more steeliness and coolness under pressure than cleaning crap off your dog. The fact that this was highlighted by his campaign is pathetic, IMHO. If he can’t come up with something more relevant to the dangers we are facing today from porous borders and most of the “moderate” Muslims in this country believing that killing civilians in the defense of Islam is justified in some circumstances then why don’t we all just put burkas on now - the men too - and be done with it?
