Maybe I should vote for Romney???

Question

After this latest press release:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070629/ap_on_el_pr/on_the2008_trail_42

I'm thinking that it is apparent that the liberal media is having a really tough time digging up any dirt on this man. What do you think... is he for real? Or is he just really good at sweeping his dirt under the rug?

My first impression of this article was: What's the difference behind leaving a dog in the back of the truck and tieing him to the roof of the car? Aren't both at just as much risk??? And, we all know how much dogs love the wind anyway... they're always groping out the window when inside the cab of a vehicle.

(BTW, I honestly wouldn't allow this one article to sway my opinion towards/against Romney... this is really more of a question about whether the liberal media is completely at a loss for this guy, and whether you also find it annoying that the press would even print useless rubbish like this.)

Answer 1

Don't think the "liberal media" gets blamed here. The story just got mentioned casually as part of a profile, and some animal rights activists jumped all over it. Sometimes that's what interest groups do. I wouldn't call it an attempt to discredit Romney, just a little fact that came out that the profiler thought was interesting.

Romney might not do the 12-hour trip with the dog up top again, but I don't think it will keep him out of the White House.

Answer 2

The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.

We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

Answer 3

Why don't we ask my faithful dog, Rufus?

Hey Rufus! Hey boy! Howyadoin? Who's the best doggie in the world? Huh? Huh? You are! That's right you are!

Now tell me Rufus, what do you think about this story? Do you think it would be fun to ride on top of a car for twelve hours? Huh? Well, do ya?

(I'll translate Rufus response for you)

"Well, on the one hand, riding on top of a car for twelve hours DOES sound like a lot of fun. But if I had to go poop, it might kinda suck. Did you say Romney's dog had diarreha? Yep, that doesn't sound terribly pleasant. If he was my owner, I'd jump in the car at the first chance I got and puke all over his kids."

Answer 4

I would hardly consider this animal cruelty. What about all the humans who make their dogs wear those stupid clothes. You think your dog is looking through the lasted fashion catalog thinking (I hope my master will get me those pink boots with matching sweater). I don't think this has anything to do with how Mitt Romney will perform as a President, look at the guys record that has something to do leadership. Ask the dog if he had a great time riding on the car. I bet he would bark a yes.
