Considering how old you were when that happened, how can you compare how you feel about what happened to that poor dog to the tired second-hand outrage of the Clinton sexcapades?
Or the dog was in a state of fear or distress that overwhelmed his natural instinct. This is the reason I think it was a stupid idea; it creates unecessary fear and distress in a family pet. I don’t like people who do that, and it leads me to question their judgement.
Would you put your dog in a dog carrier on the roof of your car? Yes or no.
Please come back when you grow the fuck up.
Whether it was abusive really hinges on how it made the dog feel. I can’t imagine any of my pets NOT being terrified at being contained in a crate that was tied to the roof of a car and driven 300 miles, but maybe Romney’s dog was particularly brave. I wouldn’t chance it, myself, and yeah, it makes me think less of Romney as a human being if that dog was scared. But I don’t know if he was scared for sure.
I required the Heimlich maneuver upon reading this :D.
Romney’s treatment of his dog, while barbaric and cruel, won’t affect my decision not to vote for him, just as Mr. Clinton’s Oval Office shenanigans did not affect my opinion of his presidental ability.
You’re out of line for this forum. Save this kind of thing for the Pit. In fact, I’m going to move this to the Pit myself.
Does this mean I’m back in line? Also, I went to the sticky and don’t see any particular rules posted. I didn’t call him any names, and arguments in that forum have certainly become a hell of a lot more heated than just telling someone to grow up.
I’m inclined to agree with this general sentiment, but in defense of Clinton’s misbehavior: that hummer was a consensual act.
Romney’s dog, on the other hand, was forced to endure open air and weather in a cramped shit-filled box as the family traveled 12 hours through several climates. And apparently had to endure a high pressure car wash while still trapped in the box. I have no idea how the dog felt during the journey and hosing incident, but it sounds like a miserable, unnecessarily cruel experience. Such callous behavior seems to indicate a lack of empathy. Not a quality I look for in a leader.
If I had no room in the car, then sure, why not?
If you wouldn’t do it with one of your kids, you shouldn’t do it to a dog. You wouldn’t do it to a kid. Would you?
Or her.
I had my dog neutered.
You can tell how weak a candidate Mittens is because he’s only pseudo-tortured a dog. Most presidential candidates would’ve killed a couple hobos by now. Get your shit together Willard.
It’s only cool if you let the dog have a bump first.

In short your God says Romney is wicked.
The dog died during the trip?
Up until a few decades ago, it was so common for men to have mistresses that nobody even commented on it, officially, because a) men are just uncontrollable about sex and b) it wasn’t polite to talk about it (and c) the vast majority of people who were in a position to say anything official in the first place, were, not incidentally, men). You have hippies and feminists to thank for an atmosphere where blow jobs could be discussed on public television.

Papal Mistresses (and the sex life of popes in general)
If you think the practice of offering the rape victim the choice of marrying her attacker or living as a known, non-virgin, unmarried woman in a bronze age tribal society somehow mitigates the brutality of that bit of scripture, then I hope you get abducted by aliens before you inflict yourself on a real, live woman.
This has to be a world record for shortest time to Clintonize a thread.
“but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” was the key phrase.
