VIDEO: The Terrifying Ride of Mitt Romney's Dog
Mr. Erik Mayer, a member of our Super Pack, created this incredible video reenactment of the ride Mitt Romney's dog experienced on the roof of the Romney family car. We've always imagined how terrifying such a ride would be, but this video really brings the reality of the experience to light. The callousness - the cruelty - of subjecting a family pet to this FOR 12 HOURS, even after the dog soiled himself in fear, is difficult to fathom.

Dogs Aren't Luggage
Mitt Romney admits to transporting Seamus, his family's Irish Setter, on the roof of his car for very long trips, at Interstate highway speeds (at least once for 12 hours). Romney also admits to leaving Seamus on the roof of the car after the dog became sick, stopping only to hose Seamus down after he soiled himself in his crate atop the car - and then continuing the trip.
Think about it - a loving, loyal member of the Romney family, strapped dangerously atop the car, lonely, wind-whipped, uncomfortable, sick and now wet. We believe this is wrong - and a clear indication that Mitt Romney possesses a degree of detached coldness not easily comprehended by families who love their pets.
Dogs aren't luggage.

The Mitt Romney Dog on Car Roof Story: An Introduction

Questions still remain about Seamus' ultimate fate - questions Romney has so far refused to answer.

BREAKING: Another Abused Romney Pet?
Andrew Sullivan, whom I trust,reports that Romney son Craig Romney had a blog in 2009 about a cross-country trip he took with friends. On this blog he posted a picture of a pet fish, in a bottle, suspended by a string from their truck's bumper. The caption read: "Our fearless sidekick. This fish has cheated death more times than I can remember." Sullivan linked to the blog but it has since been made private, presumably by Craig Romney. Children learn to devalue animal life from observing their parents. Can we afford to have a president setting such an example for us all? For the world? More on this upsetting story tomorrow.
UPDATE: I've been unable to find any certain evidence that the fish was transported strapped outside the truck - that may have been speculation by Andrew Sullivan. However, it is still troubling that Craig Romney wrote that the fish "cheated death more times than I can remember." How does a store bought pet fish repeatedly "cheat death" unless it's human owner repeatedly exposes it to danger?

Political Writer Lanny Davis: Romney Abused Dog, "Shouldn't be President"
Political writer Lanny Davis wrote on The Hill today that its his opinion that “if [the dog-on-roof] story gets out and stays out, there will be tens of millions of Google hits by next October. And I am also thinking that Romney is going to lose a lot of dog-lover votes on this issue alone, regardless of party or ideology."
Davis also said, "I think anyone who puts his dog in a cage on top of a car for a 12-hour drive and then deludes himself or tries to delude others that the dog really enjoyed it — to me, with all due respect, I feel such a man shouldn’t be president of the United States.”
To you, Lanny, we say WOOF!

Merci de votre visite les chiens contre Romney, le site qui est maintenant en vie l'histoire de mauvais traitements de Mitt Romney de son chien, Seamus. Mitt est moyenne. Il ne devrait pas être président des États-Unis, ou n'importe quel pays civilisé.
Woof!
Note to our English speaking audience: We were linked by another publication in France this morning and we are receiving a lot of French speaking visitors.
URGENT CRATE-GATE UPDATE: Did Mitt Romney Lie About Fate of Seamus?
The Romney family has said previously that Seamus was given away to Romney’s sister after this fateful trip, and lived out the last of his days on a lovely farm.
But now new questions emerge.
According to Hunter Walker, writing for the Politicker NY, a blog of the New York Observer, Mitt Romney “may not have told the whole truth about the scandalous tale.”
According to a “trusted Politicker tipster,” Walker says, “two of Romney’s sons had an off-the-record conversation with reporters” in which they revealed that Seamus actually “ran away when they reached their destination” in Canada.
As of this writing, says Walker, “the Romney campaign has not responded to multiple requests for comment on this story.”
What is the truth about Seamus' fate? Did he live out his days on a bucolic farm, as Romney has said? Or was he abandoned somewhere in Canada, alone, to fend for himself?
