“Love me, love my dog” is so recent that nobody bothered to quote it in ancient Latin! /s

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Thirty years ago, we didn't have dog parks, dog hotels, doggy day care and people would have their dogs (and kids) ride around for hours (or longer) in the back of pick-up trucks.

I'm glad we've gotten smarter but considering the stuff people did in the 80s and earlier before we knew better I can't find this (of all the problems with Romney) disqualifying of a candidate.

Furthermore:
(a) There's plenty of ammunition to be used against Romney regarding his conservative bonafides (or lack thereof);
(b) Newt bringing this up is, like his attacks on Bain, just another example of the bizarre idea that a republican (or a RINO like Newt) should attack Romney from the left;
(c) A lot of the people here having a nervous breakdown over the "poor dog" are the same ones who never seemed to worry about "Saint Sarah the Divine" supporting the iditarod.
