In case anyone didn’t read the links, he didn’t hogtie the dog directly to the roof-- The dog was in a crate, and the crate was tied to the roof. Which is still a stupid thing to do, but not nearly as evil as “tied a dog to the roof” would suggest.
Without going OT, the bride had the choice of accepting or refusing the marriage.
Well THAT’s a relief.
That is an awfully broad interpretation of the text.
In any case, you ignore the vast majority of the “morality” in the bible. So please don’t suggest that it is a guide for morality in our secular country.
Adultery is consensual. That dog didn’t ask to be strapped on the roof.
“I could tell that bitch wanted it.”

Why is it a stupid thing to do?
So you admit to beating your dog in the past?
Yup, I read the link:
Honestly, Romney tying his dog crate to the roof of car doesn’t bother me much; it sounds like he had no room in the car for the large canine. If the dog was shielded from the wind and the temperatures were tolerable, I can’t get all worked up about it. Of course, if the car gets in accident or rolls over–dead dogs tell no exposés …
But it does bother me that the dog took a shit in the crate. Dogs studiously avoid soiling their own lair. If they do, it means that the owner waited too long and the dog was in considerable pain before unloading their urine/fecal matter. It’s also humiliating for the dog; they know what they did was wrong. It’s animal torture. That’s why Romney showed poor judgement here.
Per Matthew 12:
Chances are QSH, some ancestor in you family history was conceived as a result of adultery; let’s not get too high on your horse…
It’s amazing how people can know what was going on in the mind of a dog 25 years ago.
No, what I meant was tying a dog in a crate to the roof of your car is not comparable to beating your dog.

And it is far more likely that some ancestor of mine has mistreated an animal in the past.
A teenager thinks that sex is a thousand times more horrible than tying a dog to the roof of a car for a long trip? Someone’s got issues.
Adultery=/= sex.
Not all sex is adultery, but pretty much all adultery is sex.
Clinton’s cock is still the default, knee-jerk yelp in protest against every republican transgression?
Spitting on the sidewalk is a far more terrible “sin” than the private act of adultery.
Have you ever owned a dog?
And I was only talking about Bill Clinton’s adulterorus acts with Lewinsky and others not his acts in marriage with Hillary Clinton.

Groucho (Bugs Bunny): Well, Mr. Fudd, for $1000, would you stop beating your wife?
Elmer Fudd: Well, yes. . . I, I mean no! I mean, well, that is I never. . .
Groucho (Bugs Bunny): Well, while you’re making up your mind, I’m going to go slip out of these wet clothes, and into a dry martini, eh?

et tu, Qin?
This was stupid when we thrashed it out a few months ago, and it’s stupid now.
This is like the garbage about Romney being a Mormon - those who are peddling it on the SDMB don’t give a shit about it, but they hate Republicans and will keep slinging shit and see if any of it sticks.
There is nothing abusive about putting your dog in a dog carrier, and claiming that doing so raises questions about someone’s character or judgment is an admission that there is nothing substantive to object to, so just make things up and see if a scandal can be manufactured.

To hell with the dog, my impression of Romney’s character and judgement hinges more on his support of torture and his willingness to deny them due process. Things like “guilt” and “innocence” are for us bleeding hearts. His cruelty to animals pales in comparison.
