Like I mentioned before this might just turn out to be the story that actually causes Mitt Romeny the most difficulty moving forward.
Politicians are expected to change their positions based on whose vote they are trying to win. But EVERYBODY, both conservatives and liberals, love animals.
So strapping your beloved family pet to the top of a car, driving him 12 hours down a freeway while he craps in fear all over your car, and then claiming that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals dislikes you because your dog likes fresh air, comes off as being just this side of inhuman.
And for a man who is comes off as wooden and lacking in compassion even on a good day, THIS paints a rather unfortunate portrait of who you are as a human being.
Not to mention what kind of President you would make if you were to win this election.
I shudder at the very thought.
Romney needs worming.
ReplyDeleteSo if Mittens is taken down by this before he wins the nomination, if Sartorum is not electable, if Perry is a lazy drunk, if Paul is a racist government hater, if Bachmann and Cain are already out, and if Newt is a cheating professor who has no idea what history means, nor does he care as long as someone is footing his bills....that leaves Huntsman as the last clown standing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to strap this son of a bitch to the top of my car and take him for a ride.Another republican asshole.These candidates are the best they can do? God save America.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you even begin? Is this man even human? Is he the "stepford wife" of the Mormon Church? My Republican friend is desperately trying to rationalize the positive qualities of Mittens so it won't stink so much when she has to say yes to him on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteGail Collins of The New York Times, who mentions the Seamus story whenever she writes about Willard, asked the question, "Do we want to hang out with Mitt Romney for the next four years?". I would say the answer is no.

Chris Hayes on MSNBC this morning had some folks on his show today who had worked for companies that Mitt Romney's company had taken over. These poor people reminded me of veterans of a war. After his company that he owned stripped all their benefits and wages, his company would make a huge profit, then bankrupt the company. That's his job creation idea.
ReplyDelete4:03 AM - you've got THAT right, unless you dream like the pee sea does and the Bitch Queen comes riding in on a bear with rifles firing to save America! She's an international joke NOW, let her try it! The smack down will be EPIC!
ReplyDeleteThis one if for you, dipshit Mitt.

Willard must be destroyed.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very strange thing to behold. Ever since N. Leroy Gingrich demonstrated quite clearly on Tuesday night that his sole purpose in political life now is the removal of Willard's spleen with a melon baller, the gravely serious men and women of o' the pundit universe have nodded, gravely and seriously, and warned Gingrich not to pursue such an obviously suicidal course. I even heard somebody talk about the "damage" Gingrich might do to his legacy if he hoists the black flag and turns into the wind.
Wait a minute. Screw that.
Attack politics is Gingrich's legacy. It is his only material contribution to the political history of this country. Now, when he's got a semi-legitimate grievance — Willard's saturation bombing in Iowa and his sanctimonious distancing of himself from what was being done on his behalf — Gingrich is supposed to hold his fire because some idiot's sense of political civility might be bruised. The hell with that. Back in the day, the day being the decade of the 1990's, when Newt Gingrich went medieval on somebody's ass, he did it himself, up front, owning his viciousness like a bauble from Tiffany's. He was nasty, hopelessly shameless, comically megalomaniacal, and altogether about as healthy to the political dialogue as a case of the mange, but it was always him behind everything he said and did. (True, his GOPAC, and its official list of pejoratives, got a whole bunch of other hopeless omadhauns elected to Congress, but they all flew under Gingrich's brand, and we knew it.) This new world of anonymous corporate moneybag button men is as cowardly as it is destructive. Gingrich happens to be right in calling this out, even though he's a thoroughgoing hypocrite for having praised (in print) the Supreme Court decision that made his destruction possible.
Other than Gingrich's descent back to the Dark Side, the biggest question on Saturday night is who will hammer Rick Santorum, Papist nutter and new GOP It Boy, where he is most vulnerable. Surprisingly, that's not his Papist nuttery, or his public devotion to laissez-faire that is every bit as opulently unhinged as Ron Paul's views on foreign policy are alleged to be. (Leave aside the obvious bullshit that Santorum is spewing there. If he's going to defend the right of insurance companies to gouge people, he should really re-read the Gospels before he opens his pious piehole again.) No, where he's really vulnerable is the fact that, while he was a senator, and especially once the people of Pennsylvania disemployed his ass, Santorum really has been a major-league 'ho. (Tin-drum alert.) He was the Senate liaison for the K Street Project, which sought to deregulate political corruption. Once he got the boot, he started working the luxury suites in earnest, and his former johns are leaving a whole lot of cash on the dresser these days. Check out some of the rest of his plush resume:

I believe you can learn a lot about a person by how they treat their pets or other animals. Or, for that matter, how they treat their fellow human beings. For example:
ReplyDelete"The truly sick part of Romney's locust capitalism is that it only works if he acquires middling but otherwise healthy companies (the cheapest kind that can still be used for these purposes) and then leverages their health to borrow as much money as they can get banks to lend them, until they can't afford it any more and they die. The social cost of it all is that workers who were doing just fine—maybe not going gangbusters, but making a nice product and making their bosses a little money while they were at it—end up losing their jobs."

And now we have Newtered 'dog on a bone' Gingrinch about to go postal on Romney. Nobody fucks with the Newt and lives to tell the story...LOL.
ReplyDeletePro-Gingrich Super PAC to release 30 minute documentary blasting Romney
This is when things get fun. Interestingly, the documentary depicts Romney as "more ruthless than Wall Street." I just find it interesting that Gingrich, of all people (well, a Super PAC "associated" with Gingrich), it smearing Wall Street. That's about the best tribute to Occupy Wall Street you could make, that even Newt Gingrich is trying to climb on board the message machine. The video even includes the hecklers going after Romney for claiming corporations are people. Those hecklers certainly weren't Republicans. This is seriously fun.

I thought McGrumpy would get out of the endorsement biz after the Sarah Palin debacle, but no, he's back at it for President Obama, er, uh, he means Romney:

Where were his wife? His sons? during this twelve-hour drive?
ReplyDeleteIs Willard so dominant that saner heads couldn't argue with him -- or are they all guilty?
It's a very troubling story, on many fronts. Who wants to have someone who's that sure of himself, who believes in his dominion over animals to that extent, who doesn't see the negatives of any of his actions?
He's not human -- he's a clone, and not fit for a position of power.
So glad the dog thing has legs. It's an important symbol re Mitt.
ReplyDeleteJust like the PalinBabyHoax -- an important symbol of her enablers supporting SP's hoaxing a nation for political gain. And continuing to suppress MSM coverage of it.
I have always thought the GOP is grooming a dark horse, who will trot out near the end of the campaign, seemingly able to solve everything, and with no time for uncovering the real story.

ReplyDeleteSarah Palin Finally Unpopular Enough To Accept CPAC Speaker Invite
Forgotten anger bear Sarah Palin has made an annual ritual of publicly turning down her standing invitation to speak at premiere wingnut swinger meetup the Conservative Political Action Conference for the last four years to prove the point that she was too good to go around jabbering for free, since the communists at CPAC don’t pay speakers. But the TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’, and America’s attention span is moving on to other shrill idiots, so this year she has at last found some time in her busy schedule full of Nothing to claim a few more minutes of attention.
Or, who knows. This has the methane odor of the exact kind of public obligation Sarah Palin most loves to quit, for consistency’s sake, so we will only really believe this exciting newz several minutes after she finishes her yapping. THEN AGAIN, maybe she will really go thru with it solely to spite Rick Santorum for stealing all the attention these days and for going around (correctly) telling everyone at last year’s CPAC she was skipping out because she wanted money.
Ha ha, this was Sarah Palin’s venomous response to Santorum’s accusation in February of last year:
She described Santorum as uninformed, adding: “I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal. I’ll let his wife call him that instead.”
So what do you think, readers? Will it be LAZINESS or SPITE to “win” the day? Does InTrade have odds on it yet?

A Handy User’s Manual to the Mitt Romney Machine
ReplyDeleteMitt Romney’s post-Iowa speech Tuesday night was one of the strangest, most slapdash public appearances the guy has ever made, and lest we forget, Romney is the king of slapdash, the emperor of seeming to care. If this — being the guy who only plays sports for the medals — is not enough to put people off, what is? Articles like the Times’ “Building a Better Mitt Romney-Bot” have focused on the machine behind the machine, the mainframe of the blue-screened PC that is the candidate. But what the people need is a thorough, one-stop-shop exploration of how the man became who he appears to be for now until his next software update.

Just another soulless sociopath. Have you ever noticed how, whenever a "conservative" is confronted with a compassion issue, anything at all related to people (or in this instance, and animal) suffering, their response is a sneer and some SNARK?
ReplyDeleteIt's always an assholish one-liner with these people. What is up with that?
Right Wing Born Again "Christian" Nut Jobs out to destroy the black man. Find JESUS in any of their sick behaviors?
ReplyDeleteI can hardly WAIT to see how strung out the Queen Bitch is tonight!
This is the original story of "The dog on the roof of the car."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.boston.com/news/politics/2008/specials/romney/articles/part4_main/?page=full
In addition, there is a description of Mitt's engagement and marriage:
Mitt and Ann agreed to wait three months to walk down the aisle. The wedding was held in two parts. On March 21, 1969, exactly four years after their first conversation, Mitt, then 22, and Ann, 19, exchanged rings in a civil ceremony in her parents' home. It was officiated by church Elder Edwin Jones, the man after whom teenage Mitt had patterned his hairstyle.
The next morning, the wedding party and guests flew to Salt Lake City and in the spired Mormon temple, Mitt and Ann were ''sealed'' for eternity. Because they were not Mormons, Ann's parents were not allowed inside.
His wife's parents did not get to see their daughter's marriage (other than the civil ceremony). Mitt also styled his hair after the long time friend of his father. Mitt has been planning and calculating his public image for a long time.
What should also be troubling is the fact that Romney does not want to release his tax forms, not even if he is nominated. Perhaps he doesn't want people to know his actual wealth, the sources of his income, and the way that he bankrupted companies, put people out of work and then sold the company for a massive profit.
The Willard "Roof, Roof" car trip wasn't a trip to the nearest 7-11. It was a TWELVE (12) HOUR car trip.
ReplyDelete12 hours! Got that everyone? Don't forget it!
London Bridges
Has anyone clocked Romney's speech pattern? This is one fast-talking jive ass snake oil salesman. Just the kind of guy my dear old Granny warned me about -- hustlers, carnival barkers and phonies.
ReplyDeleteI so hope Ron Paul makes good on his threat to run as a third party candidate so we can begin to see some real fireworks among the assembled nitwits. Of course Paul should also hire a food taster and ask to rent the pope-mobile for a few months if he chooses this path.
I put the Dogs Against Mitt Romney YouTube video on my Facebook page. My niece in Michigan (she and her husband are firefighters) responded, and I quote, "Man, now who am I gonna vote for...dang it, I am a dog lover first and foremost." I suggested that she ask Bo. I probably also should have suggested that she ask her brother/sister firefighters in Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget, when they realized that the dog was evacuating his bowels all over the car out of fear Mitt stopped at gas station, hosed the pet and the crate down, and strapped it and the dog back up to the top of the car to continue the journey.
ReplyDeleteShudder at the thought of Santorum being president, because if he is anywhere near Romney after NH then he's going to get Palin's endorsement in exchange for her being his VP pick. Or, if it doesn't happen in NH then it will in SC if the santorum is within reach of Romney.
ReplyDeleteNow there's something to make you all shudder kids! The nation will have chosen the very worst of the lot and the most extremist of the lot. A very ill wind blows. So shudder to imagine: Palin increases Santorum's popularity up and out of reach of any other candidate.
And no, I don't love Palin, I hate the ugly vicious hating cu-t, but I'm looking at reality.
7:04 AM - you and me both. Liz Cheney comes to mind. But, we'll see.
ReplyDeleteAn ultra-rich man whose economic plan helps the ultra-rich and explodes the deficit, and who can’t be honest about his own income taxes—that’s who’s leading the GOP field.

To this day the man can't say, "That was really a dumb thing for me to have done. I would never do anything like that again, I felt HORRIBLE about it."
ReplyDeleteNope. He's got to go with "My dog likes fresh air."
I wish that they had spent a few more seconds on the print from the article. It goes by a bit fast for many to read.
The way I read it, Willard washed the dog & car while the dog was still in the carrier on top of the car.
ReplyDeleteWhat does this sound like?
********
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.
After the poor dog lost control of his bowels (dogs really would try hard not to soil their own crate) - he returned the wet dog to the crate and exposed to the 65 mph (or more) speed on the highway?
ReplyDelete"Where were his wife? His sons? during this twelve-hour drive?
ReplyDeleteIs Willard so dominant that saner heads couldn't argue with him -- or are they all guilty?"
He's Mormon. The man is head of the family. Nobody else gets a vote.
And before somebody posts an answer, yes I know they're not all like that- but LDS preaches patriarchy and the submissive wife. If the wife and kids didn't like having the dog on the roof of the car, they couldn't do a damn thing about it.
I think "Milt" has quite the temper as evidenced when Bret "Don't touch the hair" Baier of FAUX news interview him a few weeks back.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why the wife and kids didn't argue with him...probably to afraid. Old "Milt" has probably threatened to "crate" them and take them for some "fresh air"....SHUDDER!
He's another tea sadist. He'll do anything to win, including lying and destroying what or whom gets in his way.
ReplyDeleteRomney is another tea taliban pretend Christian who lacks ethics, morality, empathy, honesty, being truthful.
Very ugly man from the inside to his exterior. He's rotten to his core.
God help Mitt's current dog if this doofus ever becomes President. I suppose if he was taking a presidential vacation he'd strap his dog's carrier on one of the wings of Air Force One because it likes fresh air.
ReplyDeleteHe strikes me as the kind of person who'd say, "Well so what, it was just a dog."
Cruelty and inhumanity aside, if he ever gets elected and this is an example of his capacity for critical thinking and soundness of judgment, the whole country's headed straight down the toilet.
The dog issue along with his acts at Bain show Mitt to be selfish, and unable to understand the needs of other livng beigs.
ReplyDeleteOther's needs and comforts will always be sacrificed to his needs.
He can't change because he doesn't want to and frankly can't preceive the problem. He is totaly ego centric.
I thought I could not hate another politician's voice as much as I grew to hate Bush, Jr, BUT Mitt Romney's voice - he always sounds so nervous and totally insincere - is taking over Bush's voice for obnoxiousness really fast!
ReplyDeleteThe sole reason we know the story of Mitt's abusing the family dog is because Mitt told the story. Mitt is too stupid to realize animal abuse is not something a person brags about. Mitt is too stupid to realize that continuing to brag about his animal abuse is not a good idea.
ReplyDeleteClearly Mitt is too stupid to run a country.
If you believe, as I do, that all living beings want the same thing (peace and happiness) and if you try, as I do, not to harm any living being (Buddhism 101) then Romney's actions are really no different than strapping a toddler to the top of his car.
ReplyDeleteWith his resources, he could have had a driver transport the dog separately. He wasn't just careless--we all struggle with that--he was intentionally cruel. It's horrifying.
Mitt stones girl. Later he decides she's hot and they get married.
ReplyDelete"Mitt Meets Ann
Mitt first met the beautiful daughter of the mayor of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., at a party given by classmate Cindy White. It was March 21, 1965, just before Ann’s 16th birthday. She was a sophomore at the Kingswood, a private school for girls. He was a senior at Cranbrook, its affiliated all-boy school.
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were playing on 45 rpm records. Mitt saw her across the room. He remembered that when he was a Cub Scout in elementary school, he and some other scouts saw Ann riding a horse bareback across a railroad track.
“What do Cub Scouts do when they see a little girl on a horse?” Mitt says now. “We picked up stones and threw them [at her].”
Years later, at Cindy White’s party, Mitt thought, “Wow, has she changed!”"

The second one looks like has traveled many happy miles with his human. Proper tags on a collar, and a bright bandana. Dogs can tell a hater when they are near one. Betcha more than a few have peed on Willard's leg.
I can't stand romney and hate peta on the exact same level.

ReplyDeleteI'd feel the same way, but I have too much compassion for my car. So I'd choose a rental. Other than that, I'm with you 100 percent.
Gryphen, you were right with your first post on this, and with this one. The man exposes himself as being incapable of compassion to an animal, I shudder to think what life is like behind closed doors at the Romney Klan's Home.
The next debate may be popcorn worthy, they're getting desperate and will go at each other to the final breath with venom and vengeance.
No one puts Newton Leroy Gingrich in a corner, no one! The gloves are coming off and Romney and Santorum are going to have their asses handed to them.
The GOP ALWAYS eat their own.
Besides strapping Romney to the roof until he shivers and shakes and shits in fear, we need to hose him down with cold gas-station (non-potable) water so that he can chill to the bone for the next several hours on the freeway.
ReplyDeleteDiesel fumes and thrown-up pebbles are extra.
