This is stupid (although the recipes are hilarious). There is no moral equivalence between a young Barry eating what was given to him in a culture where it was accepted (in Italy, you can buy rabbit at the grocery store, and horse is a delicacy......with rumors about cat in the Veneto region after the first snow) and Romney making a dumbass choice. He did not realize that the dog would not fit in the car until the moment they left? Seriously? That is what kennels are for.
This is yet again another distraction from IT IS THE ECONOMY, STUPID.
When I was 10 I would not eat dog! No matter what!
With an adventurous spirit, I’ve tried Moose, Elk, Wild Turkey, Venison, Squirrel, Pheasant, Grouse, Rabbit, Black Bear, Aligator, Escargot, chocolate covered Ants, every type of fish, and more.... all as a kid and girl! The Venison, Pheasant, Grouse and once in a great while escargot are the only one’s that stuck.
I feel bad for Romney’s poor dog and his stupid choice, but at least he didn’t eat it. And did Obama say in his book that it was wrong to eat dog? The book was written as an adult. He also mentioned they were going to eat endangered Tiger. Call the Enviromentalists!
Of course, there is no moral equivalency. Neither is their a 'moral' issue; per a 'dumb-ass choice'- and one often made by owners of dogs at the time. More often and worse, perhaps; when traveling; owners were in habit of putting their dog in the trunk of the car.
Of course, the big SUV was not around back then; but we can duly note and often; that even this does not solve the 'dumb-ass' problem; as even pampered dogs today; are often seen, 'seriously' hanging out an open window; as owner 'cruises'. We see dogs; all the time; loose (tied up; as threatening to dog) in back of high speed pick up trucks.) See exhausted; heat-threatened dogs, too often, as well; running along side their owner; but clearly, without benefit of 'water bottle'. (Find photos - surely some Dem Congressmen here/lol. And yes; some of the bad body language photos of Obama/w/dog! IF Dems keep on. . .)
Yes, for sure; all this is to create dissonance/distraction in mind of beholder and crowd more critical judgments of Obama.
That said; and all logic aside (where this attack story begins); the 'dog meat' story should - or could - scare Obama team just a bit; they surely cannot 'defend' this; without giving the story legs; that can only this story down a 'wrong path'; in mind of beholder.
