Did Mitt Romney really drive 300 miles with a dog tied to the roof of his car?
Has no bearing on whether he’s a good President or not anymore than Clinton’s adultery (which is certainly morally worse). Just an excuse to smear Republicans.
It reflects poorly on his character and judgment.
Well, that, plus smearing his dog across six lanes of super-highway.
And so does Bill Clinton’s adultery except X1000.
I’d say Mitt Romney’s transgression trumps Clinton by infinity +1.
Unless Clinton tied Lewisnsky to his roof and drove 300 miles before she blew him. Which, incidentally, I wouldn’t put past him.
No it is not. If Romney cruelly tortured his dog to death maybe but up until the last few decades this wouldn’t have batted an eye while adultery has always been one of the gravest moral transgressions one can make (as seen in Scripture).
Well I don’t live my life according to Scripture, so I reject your definition of what is moral and substitute my own, and I say putting your dog on the roof of your car and driving 300 miles is a much more immoral act than cheating on your wife.
Oh, who gives a shit about Scripture?
You weren’t alive in the 70’s, the decade of decadance, swingers and key parties. Clinton boning Lewinskey with Hilary watching wouldn’t have caused a ripple in your average suburban living room back then.
And through most of history tying a dog to the roof of your car wouldn’t have a caused a ripple either.
Yeah, because snorting cocaine and abusing your pets was the big fad during the hedonistic 70s.
There were cars throughout most of history?
No, but if you beat your dog or horse or whatnot a hundred years ago, nobody would care.
Seriously people, does this in anyways affect your decision in supporting or opposing Romney?
It makes him seem like more of a Martian.
“What? I cannot place my dog upon the roof of my conveyance? Your customs are strange to me, human. I will now eat toilet paper and think on this.”
So…do you still beat your dog?
No, and this is not comparable to beating a dog.
Scripture says you can marry a virgin you rape for a 50 shekel fine. The humans who wrote it were primitive assholes. So you’ll pardon me, I’m sure, if I don’t take your acceptance of it as the final word on morality as anything but a moral failing on your part.
