That is one of the most disingenuous laughs I have ever heard. And horribly inappropriate in this context.
So Romney is now claiming that the dog carrier was "completely airtight?" How in the hell does a dog breathe in an "airtight" kennel?
And he left the poor animal in there for twelve hours?
I also call bullshit on the idea that the dog climbed up onto the roof of the car in order to get into the kennel on his own. How would he even manage that?
I could not help notice that Romney seemed relatively unconcerned that he had also broken the law by doing this. You know regular human laws are for the little people, and do not pertain to Romney.
By the way I also learned that Romney's story may in fact be MUCH worse than previously thought.
Check this out.
The original story claimed that Mitt Romney strapped his dog to the roof of the car in a crate and drove the family 12-hours to Canada. Along the way, the poor, scared dog (Seamus) had a bad case of diarrhea (some say in fear) that ran down the side of the car. Romney stopped the car at a gas station, the story went, and hosed down the poor beast and car before getting back on the road.
But is that what REALLY happened?
In today's article, Swidey reveals that in the first version of the story he'd heard from a Romney "family friend," Mitt Romney did not hose down the dog but instead "drove the station wagon right through a car wash" with poor Seamus strapped atop!
Knowing he had a remarkable story in his hands, Swidey says, he worked diligently to ensure he had every detail correct. He spoke to Tagg Romney, one of the Romney children who was in the car at the time. "Far from being tone-deaf, Tagg realized as I dug deeper that the story could cause his father grief," Swidey wrote.
And the story changed.
Is it really possible that he drove his dog though a car wash? An animal that he claims was "a good friend of the family?"
Just when you thought Mitt Romney could not appear less compassionate.
I would not let this guy water my houseplants, much less run my country.
Willard Romney is not a real human being. He will never be president. He's too weird. Obama 2012!
ReplyDeleteSo, now the carrier was supposedly air tight? What did he put Seamus in - a space capsule? Of course that is bullshit. This is wrong on so many levels. A dog should never be crated for 12 hours. A dog should not be stuck on top of the car roof. For craps sake, Seamus is a living, breathing, feeling, creature. One of "gods" creatures. He isn't a piece of luggage. Squirting Seamus off while still crated on the roof was horrible enough. Sending him through a car wash is animal abuse. Can you imagine how terrified that poor dog was? I judge people on how they care for innocent creatures. Mitt gets an F- . No way would I want him as president...or anything else for that matter.
ReplyDeleteSomething about Mitt Romney makes me cringe. And the dog story is, I fear, the tip of the iceberg. He seems to have no capacity for empathy whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteRemember that his service for his religion in Paris was the same as someone's military service in VietNam at the same time - the late 1960's. And his sons working for his political campaign in 2008 was the equivalent of young men and women fighting in Iraq.
What is it about Republicans and their sense of victimhood? It's all about them and never about everyone or anyone else.
What a vile person...but aren't all Republicans nowadays?
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney defends his animal abuse. Mitt Romney defends teaching his children that it's OK to abuse animals.
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney is too stupid to run a country.

ReplyDeleteHere he is claiming PETA was not happy with him because his dog likes fresh air. He must have been very unhappy in an "air tight" container then.
Can't you just imagine FOX News if this was a story in Obama's past? They'd be running it 24/7!
ha ha ha, he loved it up there....what a complete and utter out of touch a hole
ReplyDeleteso....he's blaming the dog??? mittens - your dog trusted you to take care of him. that's what dogs do - trust their humans to know how to properly take care of them. while dog's are smart they do not understand highways, speed limits, etc. that's your job, mitt.
ReplyDeleteso many other things also too:
he didn't know it was illegal? ignorance of the law is no excuse mittens.
he thinks the dog would have preferred to ride atop the car than in the car with five kids? he really knows nothing about dogs, does he?
laughing about it? let's strap him in on top of a car and drive the highways for a few hours - see how he likes it.
i have never really liked the magic underwear ken doll, but the more he speaks the lower in my esteem he goes.
This really can't come as a surprise to people.
ReplyDeleteThere are many stories about Romney's lack of empathy. He slid adoption information across the table to a Mormon woman because she was a divorcee who was pregnant—unasked. She was appalled.
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2012/02/mitt-romney-201202
Romney is more than awkward, he acts like a sociopath. He cannot connect truly with people. It seems he will say anything (all the flip-flopping) and do anything to get what he wants. These traits would actually make him extremely good at his job as a corporate raider.
His eyes are on his prize. So it seems the prize that day with Seamus was to get to Canada in twelve hours and nothing was going to get in his way.
We could all be Seamus in a Romney world.
You can't get the truth out of him. he's incapable of telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteAlso where are people getting he looks presidential?
If he were not so rich and so conventionally good looking in a white bread kind of way, people would have noticed already how really weird he is. Bachman was maybe a little weirder, but Romney is still TOO weird.
ReplyDeleteDo you think his inhumane act traumatized his kids? Or are all of them cold and weird and watch that poor dog's pain while laughing their magic draws off? He is crazy.
ReplyDeleteKind of reminds me of foamy mess' family, sleeping with a dead child and passing it around among his kids. Weird, strange, customs, to say the least.

ReplyDeleteWell there you go. repugbaggers would be hard press to find a dem who would come close to doing this. They don't like those kind of people.
So these mealy mouths can suck sand when they say both sides do the same. the repugbagger side doesn't waaaayyyyy more things in the wrong than the dems.
The story was horrifying ENOUGH that he hosed the poor boy down, but now a CAR WASH! That MoFo should be locked up for animal abuse! Poor Seamus:(
ReplyDeleteIrish Setters are high strung dogs, no wonder this boy what shittin' his kennel. Also dogs that are crate trained do not "Go" in their kennels, just to show how terrified that Boy was....
And at the end does he say, "he was a GOOD FRIEND of the family, we love our PETS".?
My dog IS MY FAMILY!!! Anyone of them... all of them! They are my Kids but they are "dog kids" or bird kids etc.
What a cold motherfucker he is, right up there with Palin with his Pathology!

ReplyDelete"Laughing about it? let's strap him in on top of a car and drive the highways for a few hours - see how he likes it."
-------------
Let me expand on your suggestion:
Let's strap him on the top of a car and drive the highways for a few hours in an AIR TIGHT KENNEL and see how he likes it.
You could say we wouldn't have to drive being it's in an AIR TIGHT KENNEL but I'd want to drive in that it would also cause all the bumps and potholes to be experienced along with the lack of air. He needs the full experience.
Gryphen, Thanks for noticing my post on this story with a link. I picked the link up on twitter after NH primary last night on the #mittromney / @mittromney page of comments and was totally disgusted.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I can't stand Fox, there was truly a moment of compasion from a Fox anchor -- for a dog. Sadly they can't do the same for the people of this country.
I originally heard the carwash version, as well, but didn't believe it--because I doubt any carwash operators would allow it, not because I think Romney is above it. I thought it was Romney trying (and failing) to be funny. Now I wonder...
ReplyDelete"I also call bullshit on the idea that the dog climbed up onto the roof of the car in order to get into the kennel on his own. How would he even manage that?"
ReplyDeleteAn Irish Setter is a big dog and the car was a station wagon. With the tailgate down and the rear window down a dog the size and agility of a setter "could" conceivably jump onto the roof.
I still call bullshit the dog went willingly by himself. Add the cruelty of forcing a dog to ride on the roof, Willard is not fit to be the leader of our country, I'm thinking that he is a sociopath and should be locked up..
I originally heard the carwash version, as well, but didn't believe it--because I doubt any carwash operators would allow it, not because I think Romney is above it. I thought it was Romney trying (and failing) to be funny. Now I wonder...
ReplyDeleteNit is going to regret putting that dog on the roof. It's not going away any more than his crack about how he loves to fire people. Maybe a stint on the Donald's show would make him think differently. That's the trouble with the entitled. They can ravage people's lives and sit back and count their money. And these people say there are no "classes" in American culture?
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping me get my message out. WOOF!
ReplyDeleteSomething that is bothering me about Romeny and it surprises me that people aren't more concerned about it.
ReplyDeleteFor all the Thugs that spew their hate about all the Kennedy family that have held positions in politics -- why are people not discussing the issue that Romeny's father campaigned to become President and now it's his son. We've already had the experience of Bush 41 and 43 and that didn't work out well.
Romeny's father may have lost, but I don't see this as being much different. The Thugs complain about Monarchies being passed down in families -- this is no different.
7:15 AM
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you take the idiot for his word? He said it. How is it you speak for willard even after willard explained himself?
Poor "Milt"...the Seamus story is NOT GOING AWAY! He can't get a handle on this story because...one...it's
ReplyDeletetrue, he's the fool who told the story!
Second...it has nothing to do with politics...he can't accuse Democrats of making him look bad...that Peta remark was suppose to shut Repubs up...but the story is so appalling to dog lovers of every political party that it really shows how "unfeeling" he is...along with the cruelty to a defenseless animal...this is how he treats the family dog! YIKES!
I hope Seamus is in doggy heaven laughing his ass off at this stupid fucker...KARMA really is a BITCH huh "Milt"!
Romney thinks it's OK to do that to a dog and to tell people he did that to dog. Romney does not comprehend his own evilness. It is very likely that Romney has abused animals in far worse ways. And it is possible he has abused people also.
ReplyDeleteThe media is giving Romney a pass on the animal abuse story. Why? Well, Romney is the last clown in the GOP clown car, so the the media has to protect their asset. Romney is the only hope the media has for something like a contest in the 2012 election. Hyping Romney is just simply the media's only hope at making a profit off the election.
The insanity continues...
The media is every bit as guilty in the Romney free ride as they are giving lying Sarah Palin her stupid, impossible faked pregnancy story.
Wrong on so many levels. Horrifying for the dog, and what a "lesson" he was teaching the kids.
ReplyDeleteAn extra layer of disgust because he had the resources to rent a U-Haul, dog-sit Seamus during the holiday, ask another adult to convoy with him, etc. He had the intelligence and money to come up with a solution, but IT JUST WAS NOT IMPORTANT TO HIM.
If he gets into the WH we can be sure that he will be the torture president - he is incapable of understanding normal, human morality.
He enjoys putting carbon-based life forms that service him through car washes, or firing them, or letting them go down on Chris Christie.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was airtight- but Seamus still had fear diarrhea that ran down the outside of the car.
ReplyDeleteHow can both these things be true? Romney's stupid on top of everything else.
I have a dog with fear diarrhea. We got him from the Bullmastiff Rescue Association. He spent the first few months of his life locked alone in a basement. There's an excuse for my dog, and he's getting better (although he still doesn't like car rides). There's no excuse for what Romney did to Seamus.
How many other questions will he not go there when and if he is elected. Ethics questions right out of the gate pen.
ReplyDelete"the dog went willingly"
ReplyDeleteJust another layer of bullshit stupidity from the Romney side.
My own kids (and pets) would do all kinds of dangerous, harmful things willingly. But, fortunately, there is an ADULT around to make good, safe choices.
Romney is just displaying the depth of his non-comprehension of his vicious animal abuse.
That is one gorgeous animal. Setters are great dogs, but they can be nervous and flighty. I can't imagine the shape this guy would have been in when they finally got to MI and their vacation home. I drove with my hubby's family (5 kids and a dog) for an 8 hour trip once. Not fun for anyone, and the dog was IN the car not on top. If this is an example of Mitt's judgement, send him back to the unemployment line, if he can figure out which state he should be in for that.
ReplyDeleteRomney is missing the whole human and humane piece in his makeup. NOW he is changing his story about Shamus? What took so long? Romney is just a smarmy, slithering reptile. No offense to the reptilians. He is simply a common slime ball who cannot be trusted. His inhumane treatment of Shamus speaks volumes about his character...or lack thereof. Great role model for his children. Not!
ReplyDeleteOf course he did - because he is a complete soul-less, fucktard. And anyone who is taken in by his pasteurized white-bread fool is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteEvery single one of these GOP "candidates" could be a poster child for what has gone wrong with our country in the past 50 years.
I mean really; an old white shyster that was already thrown out of Congress once, a couple of delusional bat-shit crazy ones who think the Bible is their passport to world domination (with them leading of course) and a few hangers-on who really are just sycophants who will do anything to have camera lights and microphones in their faces.
I say the only thing we have to worry about in the 2012 election is to ensure that it goes off legally and correctly. But it sure pisses me off to think that this is what the Republicans come up with that they think are capable of leading this nation. I find it insulting and embarrassing.
Oops, sorry, I meant Seamus.
ReplyDeleteCLINTON JUDGE BLOCKS BAN ON SHARIA LAW - Yes, you read that correctly, a Clinton appointed ultra Liberal judge negated the will of the people of Oklahoma yesterday by blocking the Constitutional Amendment passed BANNING SHARIA LAW. This judge took the side of SHARIA LAW and claims that not allowing Sharia law violates the first amendment. ARE YOU KIDDING US!!!! This, folks, this, is exactly why you have to do everything in your power to defeat Barack Hussein Obama in November. Because LIBERAL judges are LEGISLATING from the bench. This law passed with over 70% of the vote. This is a travesty!
ReplyDeleteHere is a picture of a dog carrier, but there is an open grill to allow the animal to breathe. http://www.petworldshop.com/pictures/air-travel-pet-carrier.jpg
ReplyDeleteIf it really was an airtight container, then please tell me how the brown liquid poop came streaming down the back window. Airtight means that it would have puddled on the floor of the crate, and by the time that Romney would have stopped, the dog would be gasping for breath. For that matter, how many times have there been warnings about leaving a dog in a locked car? The heat would have built up in that airtight container faster than it would take to heat up a car.
Oh, so maybe there was a breathing hole? Then is wouldn't be airtight. The other thing that bothers me is the physics of the thing. If you look at any of the carriers put on top of a car, they have to be streamlined to prevent strong resistance from the wind. Romney claimed in his interview that there was a makeshift windshield attached to the front of the crate. If the crate was airtight, it wouldn't need a shield. I think that he invented the shield part of the story when the story was originally told to the Boston Globe in 2008.
Maybe he thought Sea-mus came from the sea, or liked water or car washes.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, it's harsh to even drive an animal on top of a car in the wind for 12 hours. That poor thing wouldn't be able to hear and would have a terrible headache, nausea, and plain trauma. What I really don't understand is his wife and kids allowing the dog to suffer as well.
Imagine what Mitt and fellow republicans like him would do in a natural disaster. Strap the victims to the top of overloaded busses and trains to get them to shelters to save money.
ReplyDeleteBecause he's a heritage millionaire, Romney has a heart of gold--cold, hard and yellow.
ReplyDeleteRomney; The New Slick Willie
ReplyDeleteI posted the link to the updated car wash version. I have read both of the stories by the reporter that first told the story.
ReplyDeleteI think cheap and logical Mitt cleaned the car at a do it yourself carwash with the hand held high pressure spray wand.
First report back in 2007:
As the oldest son, Tagg Romney commandeered the way-back of the wagon, keeping his eyes fixed out the rear window, where he 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.
As the rest of the boys joined in the howls of disgust, 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.
http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/specials/romney/articles/part4_main/?page=full
Swidey's recent report on how he got the story:
For the record, neither Tagg nor any other Romney was my original source for the anecdote. Collins and others have pushed this silly line to suggest how tone-deaf the Romney brood must be. In fact, I went to the then 37-year-old Tagg only after having heard the Seamus story at the very end of a long interview with a close friend of the Romney family. Seeking to penetrate the stock image of the air-brushed family, I had asked that friend what stories the Romneys reminisced about in the privacy of their own home. As soon as the Seamus road trip anecdote passed his lips, I knew it was a gem. But I was determined to avoid a situation where Romney’s handlers could call into question the anecdote — or the entire article — because I had gotten some small detail wrong. So I insisted that Tagg poll his mother and brothers and persisted until I had confirmed every last fact. Far from being tone-deaf, Tagg realized as I dug deeper that the story could cause his father grief.
Tagg: 'Dad- some reporter knows about the dog on the car story!'
Mitt: ' I bet he thought that was hilarious! (Same laugh as the Mike Wallace clip) Everyone wishes they were as smart as I am! Dog on car = GENIUS! And everyone hates PETA.'
Tagg: 'I'm not so sure this story makes you look good...'
Yet Tagg’s participation actually helped his dad. After all, the first version of the story I’d heard from the family friend — who hadn’t been an eyewitness — improbably had Mitt driving the station wagon right through a carwash. Imagine the howls from PETA if Seamus had been introduced to the world with the image of high-pressure wraparound brushes pummeling a defenseless, diarrheal dog.
http://articles.boston.com/2012-01-08/news/30605151_1_romney-family-mitt-romney-dog/2
When kids witness something like this they usually remember major details correctly. When the story gets retold to family friends it probably is factually correct.
Mitt could have driven through a car wash with rotating brushes. That would have been a disaster. But in 1983 how many of these were unattended? That's not probable even for Mitt. You know he had ridden through the big rotating brush carwashes when he was a kid.
n 1983 how many service stations had garden hoses for people to use to wash dog shit off their car? You would have had to explain yourself and get permission. That's why I think it was a DIY unattended car wash. Where no one would have seen Mitt's mistake except his family.
Cruelty to animals is a marker for psychopathy...or is it sociopathy?
ReplyDeletePeople who abuse animals and children never "see" what is wrong with their actions. There is always some excuse...IE "the dog loved to climb onto the roof" "the DOG shit on the car ( out of terror)"...." the kid wouldn't quit crying"..."the kid didn't listen"..........
ReplyDeleteAbusers of any type, blame the victim. They have something deeply seated in their pyschy that it is NEVER their fault, that the victioms MADE them do it.
AS an animal rescuer and as a medically fragile fostermom....I have seen and heard ALL the excuses, sometimes in a court room when I've testified.
Willard is a lowlife and an asshole with mental health issues.
DOGS FOR OBAMA
2012
At every car wash I've been to, you can't even leave your radio aerial up. Not even a little. Because of the big mop roller that oozes over the top of the car. There's no room above the car and below the car wash machinery.
ReplyDeleteSo the dog's diarrhea dripping down the windows gave him or his children no clue?
If Seamus was hosed down at the 4-hr point, think of the effect of 65 mph winds chilling him. If indeed the crate was not entirely air tight.
And this is the creep Republicans thinks is most electable?
ReplyDeleteSo according to Romney, corporations are people, but a family dog is basically the equivalent of luggage you tie to the top of a car. Awesome.
Mittens has no idea what is coming his way in South Carolina. Newt and PRick are on kamikaze missions to destroy him and take down the Republican party with them. His surrogates have been put in a tailspin by their "vulture capitalist" line of attack. Sit back and enjoy the ride kids, cause Axelrod and Plouffe certainly are.
Mitt is the weakest frontrunner since Micheal Dukakis. If he couldn't get put of the thirties in New Hampshire, he's fucked.
I am glad that no one is giving Mitt a pass on this story - cruelty and abuse to animals certainly is relevant to what kind of man he really is.
ReplyDeleteThe Romney's had the money to pay for more humane transport for their dog - or could have hired someone to provide that care at home.
When I went to stay with my sister in Houston, TX due to illness - I took my two little dogs with me. Being poor, I couldn't afford to pay for the airfare for me and both of them (I didn't want them to go in the cargo hold, too many horror stories about that).
I coordinated the whole thing so that one little dog went with another sister going to Minnesota by car (in the car) to visit her daughter. I took the other one on the plane with me. The Texas sister was in Iowa visiting family - and from there went to Iowa to get my dog ,to bring him back to TX with her.
On the trip back I did have to pay for two plane tickets so I could have them on the plane with me - not in cargo. If you are a pet owner who loves and respects your animal companions, you do what it takes to make sure they are cared for as members of the family.
When people as wealthy as the Romney's choose to put a member of their family in a cage on top of their car and drive 70+ mph for 12 hours in order to save a few bucks - is there really any doubt as to their lack of compassion and humanity?
That whole family should be ashamed - think of all the other family dogs who were probably also treated this way. This issue is not about political parties - it's about character. If it was reported that my favorite Democrat candidate mistreated their pets in any way - that would be enough to lose my vote.
Romney has had run ins with the law that betrayed his contempt for laws and codes of conduct that the rest of us live by. He is an arrogant fuck who believes that as one of the elite he is exempt from such pedestrian ideas as "laws."
ReplyDeleteI've heard that laugh from his piehole dozens of times and it ALWAYS makes me think of a used car salesman. He is greasy and unctuous in the extreme.
Romney is an arrogant, lying sack of shit that would do, say, kiss, or eat anything or ANYONE if he thought it could get him into the White House. He has willingly compromised his supposedly inviolable Mormon ethics in order to get ahead. He is still doing so.
I really don't believe the carwash story. For one thing, the carwash operators wouldn't allow it. For another, if Mittens *did* manage to escape their notice and ran the car through there with the caged dog inside, the brushes that come down and pummel the car would have gotten tangled or stuck on the cage, conceivably dragging it around on the top of the car or maybe even stalling the machines.
ReplyDeleteMittens is an idiot, but not that big of a one, in my opinion.
CLINTON JUDGE BLOCKS BAN ON SHARIA LAW - Yes, you read that correctly, a Clinton appointed ultra Liberal judge negated the will of the people of Oklahoma yesterday by blocking the Constitutional Amendment passed BANNING SHARIA LAW.

Shut your mouth you stupid racist idiot. No one wants to hear your delusional conspiracy theories here. Go back to stormfront you Hitler wannabe.
Uhhh there is such a thing as an unattended carwash. I'm surprised how many people don't know that.
ReplyDeleteHard for me to believe, but this post made me say, "I'd rather vote for John McCain".
ReplyDeleteKennel training when done properly is a compassionate and effective method, so I can understand that Seamus "liked" his kennel.
ReplyDeleteBut I can't believe that Seamus liked being driven on top of the car. You counteract the benefits of kennel training by making the experience of being in the kennel a trauma.
"Air tight?" puhleeze. So how does that jibe with what he said about Seamus "liking fresh air."
Every word the man utter is a lie, including "and" and "the." He lies like he breathes oxygen.
Anonymous at 8:35 am - please take your meds. There is no chance of Sharia Law being implemented in the US, court decision or no court decision - you can come out from under the bed.
ReplyDeleteRight, the DIY hose-it-down version makes more sense. But doesn't eliminate the cruel act, made worse by riding wet at 65 mph.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the phrase "emotion-free crisis management" is pretty hilarious: no crisis management here, only a v superficial pass at the symptoms of a v bad situation, a self-made bad situation, without exhibiting a clue re recognizing the situation's true issues. This is like hosing down a cancer victim who has diarrhea, with no awareness that there's more to it, not even after the fact and much discussion about it.
Lack of awareness, poor judgment, bad treatment, denial, laughing at those who see it differently. No wonder this sad story has legs: sounds just like his Bain behavior and laughing about liking firing people.
Has anyone ever asked Romney why none of his 5 strapping sons ever served in the military???
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with this picture: steady barrages of negative ads slam the candidates and reveal their faults, lies, lack of ethics, etc. --- then when it's all said and done, the people are expected to flock to the polls to support one of these guys??
ReplyDeleteDo candidates think all the nastiness revealed in their messages just disappears from people's memories - and that all of a sudden they should trust and respect a certain candidate?
And why does the timeline only go back 3 year's and focus on Obama's record, without a mention by anyone (candidates and media) of the chaos caused by the Bush administration during the previous 8 years??
If Seamus was hosed down at the 4-hr point, think of the effect of 65 mph winds chilling him.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. My CA based dog groomer is not allowed to release my malamute from her shop unless he is DRY.
I don't believe that Romney could have run the dog through a carwash facility. They would not have allowed it and it would have killed the dog more than likely.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I'm not pro Romney as the Republican candidate...just don't believe the story.
RE: Clinton judge outlawing banning of Sharia law.
ReplyDeleteDo you even know what parts of Sharia law these nimrods think are going to get enacted? You claim 70% of the voters (or was that just your basic bigoted legislature) wanted it banned. Does that mean that if 70% of the population of a state want to make slavery legal, or make women second class citizens or make being a Homosexual is punishable by death then when a judge says NO you have the same right to claim this judge is a liberal asshole? Go get some sense or quit hitting the bottle so early.
We call all see, ALL CAP CRAZY PERSON, that you use Barak Obama's middle name as an insult, as if we are supposed to go "ruh roh, he's gotta a-rab name!"
ReplyDeleteYes, Barak Obama's name is Hussein and you are a bigoted a-hole.
If it was so fucking air tight how come dog shit leaked out of it? What a fucking liar!
ReplyDeleteDogs are socialists.
ReplyDeleteIf the Romney camp can't even spin a simple case of animal abuse, they will explode when their candidate really gets full of himself with a big delegate count. Romney's ego and mental problems are a fatal combination. Democratic Party operatives just have to sit around and watch the blunders and counter-blunders start to stack up.
ReplyDeleteI like the scenario where the GOP is stuck with Romney because he got enough delegates in the primaries. Once the GOP can't ditch the guy, the Romney trail of horrors will unfold.
And, just think, a lot of GOP wannabees are quivering in their boots today. One of the poor slobs is going to have to be Romney's running mate. Some hapless governor or congressperson will be required to "support" the Romney ticket. People are probably writing their "thanks but no thanks" blurbs right now. But they know one of them is doomed to fawn over disgusting, despicable, arrogant Romney for the whole campaign. lol.
"He has willingly compromised his supposedly inviolable Mormon ethics in order to get ahead. He is still doing so."
ReplyDeleteNo he has not, Gasman. He is following the "lying for the Lord" aspect of his religion. One of the main aims of the Mormon church is world domination. How much closer would they be if the leader of the free world was in their pocket? He can call on the zombified millions of Mormons to donate to his campaign, they can muster millions to go door to door for his cause (they have LOTS of practice being missionaries) and they will do or say or vote fpr anything they are told to.
Everything he has ever done or said, from flip flop to flip flop, has been Okee Dokeeyed by his church, even the lies he tells. If can get him ahead and them the power, it is fine and dandy.

ReplyDelete"Cruelty to animals is a marker for psychopathy...or is it sociopathy?"
------------
My first thought when I read the story a while back was that cruelty to animals is one of the first steps on the avenue to being a serial killer.
It disgusts me too that not only Romney laughs in his 'fake laugh' in the Fox video, but also the fact that his sons laugh about it, as was when they were asked about it when being interviewed.
Doesn't say much for the whole family. That of a family they are putting on display as a fine, upstanding family. BULLSHIT. The wife was in the car, the kids laugh at cruely to animals -- laugh at the cruelty to their family pet.
They should all be strapped on top of a high performance vehicle without the benefit of a kennel to protect them and ram that high speed air and road debree down their throats. Ooops -- they shit themselves. Too bad - so sad -- NOT.
"There is no chance of Sharia Law being implemented in the US, court decision or no court decision - you can come out from under the bed."
ReplyDeleteIf Santorum or any of the fundie fuck heads win, it will be xtian sharia law.
Throughout my readings of this story over the years and on many sites, I have never once seen my question appear.
ReplyDeleteIf it took them twelve hours to GET to Canada, how long did it take to get back home? And where was poor Seamus on the return ride?
Hmmmmm, anyone know the answer to that?
Oh, and Mitt is a sociopath.
Can this fake human EVER tell the simple truth??? If (God forbid) Mitt becomes POTUS, we are all screwed. He will lie to the American people, the congress, our allies and our foes. He truly is a man without a soul... and don't give me that crap about his being a devout Mormon. Being religious is absolutely no guarantee of truthfulness nor sincerity, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteDear 6:46,
ReplyDeleteI adore your line that we could all be Seamus in a Romney World!!! Would it not be fantastic if Newty and the boys picked it up and ran with it? Even folks who have no sympathy for mothers on food stamps, children without healthcare and the millions out of work, LOVE their canines! I pledge to do MY part in getting this quote out there. Thanks!
My bet is that it was a car wash where he hosed him off,one of those ones where you put in your quarters and use the pressurized hose to sort of power wash your car.Pretty painful if you get sprayed with that.
ReplyDeleteBut his base is not going to care.These are the people who just want to let people die if they don't have insurance.
On one hand we have Romney and Seamus,on the other we have Santorum who took the body of their 20 month old fetus home after a miscarriage and let the kids hold it and play with it .
ReplyDeleteRomnoid.
ReplyDelete@ 8:35 - "Hussein" means "good" in Arabic. So every time you repeat his middle name, you are praising him as "good." Thank you! I agree: President Obama is good! And thanks to all RWNJ who say it over and over, esp. on FOX; it works as a spiritual antidote to all your crazy "imprecatory" non-Christian prayers.
ReplyDeleteImagine what Mitt and fellow republicans like him would do in a natural disaster.
ReplyDeleteYes. Exactly. Does "depopulation" give us a hint? We will all be like "Seamus in a Romney world." Some of us already are, without health ins, housing, a job. Depopulation. Just hose us down, the old and the sick too. That will solve the problem (for the dead ones, for sure), and then Mitt can do his smarmy chuckle about how effective his "emotion-free crisis management" was.
And the risk of the crate being ripped off the roof+fastenings by wind? Oh, well, just a little depopulation.
Newt and the GOP thugs would never pick this story up simply for the fact -- empathy and compassion is not in their DNA.
ReplyDeleteBut -- the story did make it's way into a DSCC fundraising letter yesterday.

"the dog went willingly"
ReplyDeleteyes, the dog went willingly went all over the carrier and back of the station wagon.
And why would not a dog crawl into its own crate/ Did the dog sigh a full disclosure form that he realized he'd be sitting on top of the car while it drove 65 miles an hour for 12 hours? Probably not!
Romney looks and acts like an alien from another planet. Can anyone prove otherwise?
9:15 AM:
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with this picture you ask?
These are Republican candidates, ergo, they pander to the average Rethug voter.
'Nuff said.
Wow. Law and order Republican Governor Haley Barbour pardons more than 200 on his way out the door. Including 14 convicted murderers.
ReplyDeletewww.csmonitor.com/USA/2012/0111/Did-Haley-Barbour-s-pardon-spree-go-too-far
Eighty of the pardoned prisoners had committed crimes including murder, homicide, manslaughter, rape, aggravated assault (including one on a police officer), and armed robbery. Thirty-two of those prisoners received full pardons, meaning they were set free without conditions.
Mitt is cold-hearted and cruel. He was born into wealth, and NEVER had to struggle or can relate to what many middle class and poor Americans go through in their daily lives. Americans work hard, and they don't seem to make it because of all the inequality out there. This has got to finally stop, and ALL Americans need to be able to get out there and have the same opportunities to make it and provide for their families that the very wealthiest have had all along.
ReplyDeleteMitt's totally all about MONEY and doesn't care about anything else. He has no compassion for the American people - he doesn't even have compassion for a helpless dog! He is NOT what we want as POTUS to represent ALL the American people. Vote wisely, but VOTE, and make sure that people in states out there that have been trying to suppress people from voting will not be allowed to get away with this despicable tactic to crush down the American voters!
Anon 12:54
ReplyDeleteAnd the Rethugs praise Barbour. They were chasing him and hoping he would run for President.
Isn't he special? Makes me want to vomit
Haven't read all the comments yet so someone may have already pointed this out: IF the crate was "air tight" as Romney says, then the waste wouldn't have escaped and run down the back window of the car. In other words, air tight = water tight = waste tight.
ReplyDeleteRomney is a liar and is stupid if he thinks the excuse of "the crate was air tight" will be believed by anybody. He's another one who doesn't think through his lies before he blurts something out.
Where does the GOP get these moroons?

ReplyDelete"CLINTON JUDGE BLOCKS BAN ON SHARIA LAW - Yes, you read that correctly, a Clinton appointed ultra Liberal judge negated the will of the people of Oklahoma yesterday by blocking the Constitutional Amendment passed BANNING SHARIA LAW. This judge took the side of SHARIA LAW and claims that not allowing Sharia law violates the first amendment. ARE YOU KIDDING US!!!! This, folks, this, is exactly why you have to do everything in your power to defeat Barack Hussein Obama in November. Because LIBERAL judges are LEGISLATING from the bench. This law passed with over 70% of the vote. This is a travesty!
8:35 AM"
-----
Every law school professor in Oklahoma told the OK Legislature and the people of Oklahoma not to try to adopt banning Sharia Law. When they passed it anyway with 70% approval, it would have prevented the 68 or 69 Indian Nations (that are legally recognized as "nations") from entering into contracts - all because of the way it was written and it would also have prevented oil companies from entering into contracts with countries that recognized Sharia Law. Oklahoma lives on oil money!
The entire country was laughing at Oklahoma for passing it without understanding what would happen when it passed. Oklahoma was acting out of irrational fear of Sharia Law.
Thank goodness there is a judge in Oklahoma who had sense enough to overrule the State's stupidity and protect them from themselves. Not that it matters but I'm an Okie - born and bred.
Newt goes there: Reminds voters Mitt put family dog on roof of car

Anon 8:35 needs to do homework. The Oklahoma judge's decision does not LIFT a ban on Sharia law, it does not IMPOSE. or ALLOW Sharia law in this country - it merely overrides the people's referendum decision on the basis that it is unConstitutional as written and allows the opposing party the make a legal CHALLENGE in court.
ReplyDeleteSharia law will therefore still need to survive such a challenge, which ain't gonna happen, nohow.
I really wish you Right Wingers would take the time to read the articles instead of spreading false information.

Three versions of the ‘Mitt strapped his dog to the roof of his car’ and two are from Mitt

And Romney did more than shove a pro-life pamphlet in front of a woman requiring life-saving abortion, as a Morman bishop he actually tried to personally interfere with her getting one.

Anon @ 10:30,
ReplyDeleteThe "lying for the Lord" bullshit is just their way of justifying what they themselves deem unacceptable behavior. The Book of Mormon declares lying no better than murder and a sin worthy of death or eternal damnation:
2 Nephi 26:32
32 And again, the Lord God hath commanded that men should not murder; that THEY SHOULD NOT LIE; that they should not steal; that they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain; that they should not envy; that they should not have malice; that they should not contend one with another; that they should not commit whoredoms; and that they should do none of these things; for whoso doeth them shall perish.
Romney didn't invent the "lying for the Lord" bullshit, but that doesn't make it anything other than bullshit.
What's next - raping for the Lord?
Mitt Romney has shown himself over and over again to be a man without a conscience.
ReplyDeleteNOT the type of person I want as leader of my country.
New Definition:
ReplyDeleteMitt-wit. Someone so stupid they think they can dismiss putting a dog in a kennel on top of their car, hosing him off and driving for 12 hours and people will understand and forget about it.
See also; dog abuser.
How does a dog climb up a station wagon and get into an airtight kennel? How does Romney wash out an airtight kennel with a shit covered dog?
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, the laugh is dispicable.
RIP, Seamus
Shame on Mitt.

Hazel, quick, go get the "Shout", I think I just shit my pants! Can't wait to see whut Sayrah and Limppawls gotta say'bout it. Get the tape recorder- This is one for the hysteria bookz!
Feck Off, Moran!
There are some very funny slogans on the "Dogs Against Romney" Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/DogsAgainstRomney
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why several people left comments saying that they don't believe the car wash story because "an operator wouldn't allow it"?
ReplyDeleteWhat operator? I've never seen a car wash with an operator. They are all self-service in my part of the country. You drive your car in, put in the quarters, and hose it off yourself. There's no operator.
And to address another point, of course the car wash is tall enough to accommodate a car with a kennel on top. People wash off tractors and big trucks and all kinds of things that are much taller than a family car.
If it matters, "my part of the country" is Utah and Wyoming.
Dog shit! he's doggin' this poopy
ReplyDeleteHe's too weird??? Anyone looked into how dirty Oprahbama was to get a family court judge to release Jack and Jeri Ryan's family court records when BOTH he and Jeri Ryan wanted them sealed to protect their innocent child??? "The following week, on April 2, 2004, Barack Obama formally established his position about the Ryans' soon-to-be-released divorce records, and called on Democrats not to inject them into the campaign. The Ryan campaign characterized Obama's stance as hypocritical, because Obama's alleged backers had been emailing reports about the divorce records prior to Judge Schnider's decision." You Dumbocrats are unbelievable. You just don't get it and never will and if you want to know freak Dumbocrat politicians, I can start with two and begin multiplying - Frank and Dodd. How the heck you people can identify with those 2 subhumans is unfathomable, but enjoy it while you can because Romney will be leading this country out of this morass. Gee, and none of you have ever done anything stupid in your life??? Let the rest of us step back to genuflect before you.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have Romney as a President than socialist Obama, who is trying to swindle half my father's paycheck (he's a Naval doctor and was dirt-poor for 12 years to get there) for lazy people who would rather steal from people who worked harder for their money than make their own. I don't care what he's doing for "college kids" either. I'm a college student and earned a full scholarship for grades. Maybe if kids tried harder in school they wouldn't need the leg-up. We were NOT created equal, some people are smarter than others (no, this isn't based on race or nation, just to take away some of your arguments) and are bound to make more money. Instead of taking from them, just accept it. You can't make everyone "equal" in class and financial status.
