Seriously, who drives on vacation with their pet dog on the roof of the car??

Why didn’t Mitt just by a RV??

This shows that Obama’s got nothing on Romney.

Obama’s seamy, murky, hidden past and his countless failures will be exposed for all to see.

I don’t see the issue. People drive with their dogs loose in the back of their trucks all the time. 

Rick Santorum is even worse.  He literally screwed the pooch.

Joseph Smith was a prophet, dum dum dum dum dum

The poor dog was so terrified that it shit itself.  And what was Mitt Romney’s response?  Hose him off and put him back up there.

This is nothing short of animal abuse, and it is shameful.  

Did Romney name his dog after himself, like B.O. did Bo?

Axelrod now claims Jeremiah Wright’s comments were taken out of context. Perhaps it’s time for Wright to come on TV and be interviewed to clear this all up.

If pooches were voters, I might be concerned.  So unless you consider the far right or the far left – pooches – no concern here.

Gloves, thank you for shifting the topic to the Obama administration.  On behalf of the Romney campaign, I appreciate it.

Please tell me you have pictures to prove this.

WTF?  Is this from The Onion?

Don’t worry, I sold that dog for a profit. 

You’re so right.  So deceiving and diabolical is the President that he actually *went back in time* to make sure that his initials became one of the most popular dog names in recent history.  The nerve!

That’s all old news gloves, didn’t work the first time, won’t work again.

The dog story tells me that Romney is a liar for his “air tight kennel” excuse and he has poor judgement and sets a back example. I can just see him in his stiff manner hosing down that poor dog and putting it back on the roof with the children holding back their tears.

Hollywood named a rat after him.

Of all of the things I find objectionable about Mitt Romney (really, Mitt?  The worst income inequality since the Great Depression should only be discussed in “quiet rooms”?!), this might be what makes me despise him most.  

How a man treats an innocent animal says a lot about how he regards the most vulnerable among us, and this man is obviously cold and heartless.  

Surprise. Pooches have owners that do vote.

I thought you fired him.

But you know what it’s like to be sealed in an airtight container on top of a car.

Great ad. Love that Newt advertises Obama´s debate skills. Newt as supposedly best player on the team runs his campaign now by saying Obama is great at debates and I am just not as bad as the other guys on my team.

I think the only one who can contest Romney is Santorum and I think both of them wouldl lose to Obama. Romney isn´t sincere, not even his voters believe him and Santorum is just way to far out on the right wing.

Is that it?  Is that all they have?  I wonder how the poll showing Romney is acceptable to 59% of the conservatives and he is also acceptable to 59% of independents makes the opposition feel?

Lol!! Good one Mitt!!

If by “fired” you mean, “put down”, that was plan B.

Wow, if that’s your ‘negative ad’ on Romney, the next one’s going to be something like his wife saying he doesn’t pick up his clothes and put it in the hamper.

Living a clean life really takes the air out of the attack ads.  Desperation=Newt.  

if so, that makes much more sense. The Onion of SNL.  

that’s silly.  Kids always name the dog. 

Dogs are people too my friend.

True, a Newt Gingrich SuperPAC ad on me proves Obama has nothing on me.  I’m sure going up against Obama in a general election will be just like going up against Newt Gingrich in the Republican primaries.

Romney is Clark Griswold.

Newts campaign went to the dogs.

I like to think of myself as Richie Rich except all grown up.

That almost makes sense

No this what you unelected government types have done since taking over the media

Don’t expect democracy to prevail 

This should not be a big deal for right wing morons who reckon it is a mark of ‘conservatism’ and manliness to shoot innocent animals for fun. 

To all who worry about this “doggie” story.

If you believe for one minute that the voters will go into the booth and say, “I’m not voting for Romney because of the dog thingie” – you might want to guess again.

The economy is the main thing people are worried about. 

Dogs, and pets in general are wonderful contributions to our everyday lives, but this is the real world – and the economy is what folks are truly worried about.  IMO

To summarize: The 99 percent’s got problems and a rich bitch ain’t one of them.

Ah…..South park reference!

Epic comment, sir!

The biggest question being, after the trip…

Here is the website to the full 28 minute perspective on Romney as CEO of Bain Capital and some of its conduct. This is what was compiled by Newt’s Super PAC. At the very end it indicates that Romney’s wealth may be or is hidden in blind trusts and overseas. Maybe it’s the reason why Romney is not all that enthusiastic about releasing copies of his income tax returns with all attachments as filed with the IRS:  You make the call:  http://www.kingofbain.com
Regardless of how this is perceived, Newt is a much more authentic candidate. With him you get what you see. Romney is complete phony and speaks in a way depending on the audience he’s addressing.

The dog’s name? Bo… as in Bo Diddley, which is why he qualifies for PopWatch status. (Diddley is also, it’s been reported, a nickname for Michelle Obama’s father.) But being named after one of the great founders of rock & roll is noteworthy, and consider the alternative: Given the young Obama daughters’ musical tastes, that dog could have been named after one of the Jonas Brothers.
The older rocker, who died last year, even had a hit song the family can use when calling the pup: 1957′s “Hey Bo Diddley.”
http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/04/12/barack-obama-do/

Unelected government types, such as myself of course, have transported our pets by strapping their kennels to the roofs of our automobiles, ever since we took over the media?  And we can all know this because some people’s names have the same letters in them as other people’s names?

It all makes sense now. 

Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, chose the name because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because Mrs. Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, as in Bo Diddley. The dog is a gift from Sen. Ted Kennedy, who owns three dogs of the same breed, known for high spirits and said to be a good fit for kids with allergies (such as Malia). 
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20271921,00.html

It never gets old.

Obama’s all consuming arrogance and vanity led him to name his dog after himself. B.O.. = Bo.

Bo runs loose on AF One and others clean up after him.

The attack from Gingrich is hypocritical. Romney practiced very successfully what the GOP( not only them) is advocating for. That´s the business model the GOP supports and wants.

Thus, it would make a lot of sense a guy like Romney would run for them this year.

So, I´d say Gingrich and Romney are both phonies.

The video could have been done by the Occupy Wall Street Movement. They really stand for the principles Gingrich pretends to defend against Romney.     

On a related note…
“There is an extensive code online of anagrams and look alikes put together by the wealthiest people in the world with the goal of electing their spokesperson (Obama) to represent the interests of big business. They may be considered The New World Order, Masons, Illuminati, Al-Qaeda, or all secret societies working together.”

we’re doomed. just …. doomed. 

Chevy Chase, “Vacation”. Auntie on roof, doggie drag gin’ behind tailpipe. Officer stops them and ….

Lol!! What was the name of Chevy Chase’s family in the movie, can’t remember??

Griswolds (sp?)

Thanks, couldn’t remember the family’s name in movie!!

Thanks!!

Newt just blew his chance to ride on Mitts roof, No vice Presidency offer forthcoming.

You’re welcome. Have a nice one! http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2098368000/ch0005918

With an air tight kennel I’m surprised the dog didn’t die while getting to their destination. 

MEDIAITERS,
First, you find MITT ROMNEY too tall, too handsome, too intelligent, overlyqualified to be President, too much hair on his head…and now…you do not like the way he handles his dog.   Why don’t you work on Newt Gingrich for a while?  Peggy Neuman has just said, “Newt Gingrich is a whining, little muffin.”  Chew on that for a while!  Obama is shaking in his boots, because he fears debating MITT ROMNEY!

Pretty smart place to put the dog.  When you have a big family, where else can you put him?

A kennel?

that is just one of 1000 things we have on Romey..
this is just what we have this week…

job killer-flip flopper-dog abuser-corporate vampire-robot –you want more?

ya—lets hear mitt have the onions to say that…
even gun owner, gay bashers are dog lovers…

this is one thing that will really sour the ‘undecided’ middle…
the right already cannot stand the guy…he is like a fart in the elevator..you really hate it–but you are not going to take the stairs..

Obama is tall–more hansome, more sexy, more itelligent, more athletic and has a decent fro..

yes mitt is a good looking man–BUT HE CANNOT DANCE…
and he has a sense of humor like a bar of soap..

we do not find MItt TOO anything–except too weak–as a leader..

Newt would be a much more dangerous candidate against Obama..
Mitt does not have a chance~
if you he is a paper tiger, GOP John Kerry clone…and this will give Obama a mandate like no other..
so take your mitt doll and play with him while you can–he cannot even get 30% support from his own party—how the hell is he going to beat obama?

well if you are worth 1/2 billion dollars–you maybe could get a better solution?
but you folks keep telling americans that it is ok to take a cross country trip with your dog strapped to the roof—crapping all over the cars behind..
good luck with that~
mayby 10% of america would be on board with you…

You drive 2 or 3 hours and pull over and let the dog relieve himself. Romney solves problems, and this might be over your head from a technical standpoint.

Bed of a truck is MUCH different than on the ROOF in a closed container, buddy. 

Didn’t work the first time, will not work this year. You people seem to forget that Obama is PERSONALLY popular. Attacking him personally increases his approval ratings! Maybe you should pay attention to the strategists at RNC….Guffaw. The GE is not the GOP primary electorate cesspool.

Ziiing! 

dcjesus,
  It is difficult responding to someone by the name of Jesus, but I will try.  You missed my message or I gave it poorly.  My goal is to defeat Obama, and I believe that MITT ROMNEY is the only candidate that can do it.  When I described Mr. Romney,  I see him standing next to Obama to debate him.   He is the man to defeat Obama, and I know that Obama fears him the most.  I want Obama tossed out of the White House on his big ears.
  I also admire and respect the Romney family, as I know they will be a First Family to admire, probably the finest we’ve ever had.  Mrs. Romney has had cancer, and she has Multiple Scleroris.  She is a Lady to be admired.  She is articulate, and she loves her husband dearly.  She doesn’t feel sorry for herself.  I admire all of them.
  You have a vote, use it.  I have a vote, and my decision is better than yours!!

” You have a vote, use it.  I have a vote, and my decision is better than yours!!”

really?
wow—well 70% of america disagrees with you and 90% of the world…
so–you must be a legend in your own mind…

but i am sorry to tell you–Mitt will never be president..
and i have an outstanding $10,000 bet that says Obama will be president again..
so since you are cleary so smart and superior–i assume you are very wealthy..
i look forward to accepting your wager…

and where did you get the iteneraty?
oh ya–out of your rectum…
ya BS is usually too technical for me since it is usually baseless and squirted by folks who try to be superior and when in truth–are really not very smart at all..
but please feel free to show where Mitt stopped every 2-3 hours in his 12 hour journey….
he would be the first person i have know to stop 4-6 times and take nearly 2 days for what would normally be a 1/2 day trip…
but maybe this is just a little to rational for your ‘technical brain’?
to help you out..
12 hour drive…+4-6 stops at 30-45 minutes for pulling over, getting out, finding a hose, getting the dog down, getting it back up…
now we are in for 15-16 hours min…
and since i have actually driven from NY to Key West and from JaXbeach to LA I know that 10 hours is a long trip and 12 is very long but 16–with a dog and kids…highly unlikey..
but again–i just speak from experiece..i left my rectal tech book in you station wagon with my dog strapped to the roof and he ate the pages..

You’re a very ignorant person but I will stoop to chat with you here. I have a dog and stop every 2 to 3 hours to let him out (10 minute stop not 30 to 45 minutes). Rest stops are every 50 miles. A big dog, like a german shepherd routinely go the whole night without having to use the bathroom. I would rather have the dog in a crate on the roof than ship him/send him by airplane.

I smell desperation. Romney is beating these fake cons and beating Obama in all of the polls and he will be elected in November.

dcjesus,
I never make bets for less than $1,000,000,000,000 (1T).  It’s a habit I’ve started since watching the deficit.  Just keep your money and go out to dinner one night!

Unelected officials have taken over Washington and are orchestrating the daily news. 99% of the comments and replies you’re reading online come from an NSA software program spamming the internet. Comments are created before the stories are ever reported. The oldest, first, highest, best, and most popular rated comments are all propaganda. They are conducting Psy-ops (psychological operations) for domestic spying. They have 1000′s of handles and are determined to bury the truth and attack anyone leaking it.

The next election is shaping up to be as big of a sham as the last. Do you know why Sarah Palin’s bus tour was really canceled? Do you know why she stayed 30 miles away from the second debate and chose the death of Steve Jobs to announce that she’s not running? Know what leaked out? Sarah Palin and Cain aren’t in the race for the same reason, the truth leaked out. The truth is linked to in my name. Cowardly attacks covering up the truth are welcomed.

My father always told me you could tell a lot about a person on how they treat dogs.

It’s a repost, but a good point.

Romney/Vick 2012

Agreed, I should be able to strap my own kids on the roof during road trips because kids can’t vote either.

another ad of lies, distortions, half truths. Newt should be a member of debbie Wassermans Shultz staff.   He fits in nicely with that bunch.    

do you own a pet?  next time you go the vets i would suggest that you take a look at the photos of the injured dogs that are thrown from the back of pick-ups everyday.  it is NOT a safe location for a pet regardless of whatever joe smith may degree.  i strongly agree with below it is animal abuse clear and simple. 

you can lie to yourself about a lot of things but can you yell out to the dog “hold on” as you round the corner.  i have never known a vet who would think of saying what mitt did was… “okay”

Stupid attack by Newt and everyone on the left for going after Mitt about this. I love dogs but this happened in 1983…before SUV’s and more reasonable accommodations for dogs. It was a time when people thought nothing of putting a dog, pug nose or not in the cargo section of an airplane any time of year. Or put them in kennels where they stayed in cages during their whole stay.

Fortunately we’ve learned from those type of mistakes plus we treat dogs better than we used to…well, most of us anyway. 

If Mitt had done this in 2011….it would be a completely different story and I would be one of the first to claim animal abuse and I would not vote for him….but it didn’t.

I don’t have a problem with this.
I am betting “angry black woman” Michelle Obama would love to strap Barack on top of AF-1 on her monthly vacation jaunts.

Your statement is based on the thought that the car is being driven maniacally. It was a family vacation. I seriously doubt they were balling down the interstate at 90 mph.

Yeah, on the roof, the dog is strapped in and given a wind shield, but there’s no protection in the truck, buddy.

Newt has a passion for animals, I can see why this particular story got Newts goat.  However, having considered the technique for traveling with ones family pet in a secure roof mounted box, Im not sure why Mitt’s wife or even children would have tolerated the family pet being stored ontop of the car versus traveling inside of the vehicle with the family?  If it were important enough to take the animal along for the visit, one would think important enough to have access to sit with the family in the car. hmmm.  Perhaps Newts suggestion here is that this is an indication and case of bad judgement on animals, somehow indicates that Romney has an unkind or uncaring mindset towards the lesser class? 

OH.  I see. Thanks for the clarity.

I’m not sure where you are from, but, the dogs I see in the back of a truck are taken for only short rides and you can tell they enjoy it since they actually run around back there. No matter how you slice it, putting a dog of that size on the roof of a car and driving 12hrs with it perched up where it can barely stretch is inhuman and despicable. If you loved your dog, you would never do that. If you have no space, leave it back home and have someone baby sit it.
