In the spirit of truth-in-advertising, the roof of Romney's campaign bus ought to have an animal strapped to it -- a great big RINO!

Oh, BTW, the answer to the question "Why didn't they put some luggage on the roof and let Seamus ride inside?" is "Because Mitt is dumber than a bag of dog poop."

Romney puts dogs on the roof.

Obama eats them.

My uncle did this with his beloved dog for a 6-hour trip we took. The dog JUMPED up on the car to get into it, he loved that container so much. I really don’t get this controversy.

I do not doubt for one second that the dog loved it.

However, it is dangerous IMO, and I would not have put my dog there even if he asked me to.

However, even as an utterly irrational lover of dogs, I would not hold this against him or anyone else.

I would and did hold Huckabee accountable for getting his kid off after hanging a dog to death. I would have let him go to jail, and myself too likely after I beat him into the ground.

Yikes! I guess neither of them are fit to be local dog-catcher now.

“..still think it's ok for an animal to ride atop a car, at highway speeds no less....”

where I come from it is not unusual to put your dog in the back of a pickup, untethered and travel - sometimes long distances, sometimes in the rain, sometimes at high speeds.

So, what's the big deal?

Until they passed some silly law, you would see the kids back there too!!

It was an unbelievably stupid and callous thing to do.

I will see no fewer than 5 instances of dogs riding in the backs of pickup trucks today, and it could easily be more. I don’t understand this “issue”. Is this something that shocks people up North or something? Seriously, somebody help me on this one, I don’t get it.

The simple answer to the question should have been..

“Well, at least we didn’t eat it!”

I can't believe anybody would even waste the space to publish this non-story. I couldn't care less what Romney was doing with his dog THIRTY YEARS AGO, and I'm certainly no fan on Romney. (By the way, we know more about Romney's dog in 1983 thanks to the media's “hard hitting investigative reporting” that we still know about Obama’s friends and acquaintances from the same time period.) God knows there are enough legitimate reasons to attack Romney from both the right and the left than to push this pile of nothing.

Dogs love to ride with the wind in their faces. Many autos that you meet on the road have a window down and a dog with his head sticking out of it with tongue flapping in the wind.

If this is all the liberals have to run on, Romney is a shoo in.

My Dog rides in the BACK of the Truck especially on long trips... cause if I let her ride up front with me she either wants to stick her head out MY window or she wants to drive.

[Clark has just been pulled over by a Colorado motorcycle cop]

Clark: Hi officer, what’s the problem?

Motorcycle Cop: Get out of the car!

[Clark exits from the car]

Clark: I don’t think I was speeding. Was I weaving or something?

Motorcycle Cop: Shut your mouth, sir! You know, if I weren’t in uniform, I’d split your skull with the butt of this revolver faster than you can say, “police brutality!”

Clark: Well whatever I did, I’m sure I can explain...
[the motorcycle cop forcibily takes Clark by the arm and leads him to the rear of the car, which has a dog leash still tied to it]

Motorcycle Cop: Explain this, you ...

Clark: Oh my God...

Since this is a Romney thread, let me preface my comments with the obligatory Romney-bashing...

Boo! Hiss! Boo! Hiss! (Stamping feet) Bad on Romney for being ahead of Obama in the latest polls. Shame on Republicans for considering him to be our nominee. Boo! Hiss! (Making a gagging noise) Bad on Romney for strapping his doggie to the top of the car! Boo! Hiss!

OK, now that I have that out of my system, let me tell you that when I was growing up in the 1970s, it was not unusual at all for kids and dogs to be rattling around in the back of pickups...on the highway I might add!

I still have memories of jumping into the back of my uncle's moving pickup during summers in Alabama when he would head to the store in the next county. And then when he reached the dirt road, one or two of the dogs jumped in as well. There were always plenty of dogs and kids around my grandmother's farm who were willing to take a voluntary joyride in the back of pickups.

Always those trips were fun. It was about 15 miles each way down Highways 168, 75 and 431 with speeds up to 70mph and we'd be sitting in the back drinking/spilling cans of Dr. Pepper all over ourselves.

“Dog on Roof”?

No comparison to Obama’s “children in poverty” or “man in unemployment line” scandals.

Asked if he do the same thing again, Mitt Romney said, “Certainly not with the attention it’s received.”"I'm running for president, for Pete's sake! I'll have more flexibility to strap my dog to the roof after the election!"
