i would argue that riding around with a dog on your car in the united states isn't custom. where as being introdced to dog meat by your step father while living in indonesia is custom . i don't really see the comparison.

What about letting a dog ride in the back of a pickup truck? That truly isn't safe whatsoever but I witnessed it all the time growing up. It's more rare to see today, but people still do it.

I hate when I see that! Now animals in NJ have to be seat belted in. Seemed silly at first, but seems to make sense for their safety.

i would think that most people aren't driving down highways on road trips in in excess of 100 miles with dogs in the bed of the truck. i am ok with dogs in the back of pick-up trucks. i think there is a difference in the two.

There is a huge difference ... in one scenario a dog can be ejected or jump freely from a moving vehicle and in the other they cannot.
:fp:

This is a silly call-to-arms. Pet safety and welfare has grown leaps and bounds in 30 years as evidenced by New Jersey's pet seatbelt rule (which I find very odd).

Question: If Romney was driving a pickup truck on that vacation and had the dog in the bed inside a pet carrier that was secured to the truck ... what would be your opinion?

Godfather.

:fp: he's running for president not a job at the animal shelter......
JFK: banged Marilyn Monrow and a few others I'm sure/ties to the Mafia and ilegal moonshine business
Teddy Rosevelt:big time hunter (trophy hunter)
Bill Clinton:...need I say more the man is Brilliant in my opinion.
George Washington: slave owner,whiskey distiler..,all around party animal and got more ass than a public toilet seat.
Obama:big ass liar and a closet terrorest...well my opinion anyway
Hillary Clinton: I love this gal ! 2 terms as president and never recieved one single vote

so anyway who cleaned up the dog poop of the roof of the car ? somebody had to...
who hid the body's while clinton, Ragan,JFK,Johnson or ...Obama is/was in office ?
is this the best these Obama people can find on Romney ?
picking at any politions charector is like pissing in the ocean.

Godfather.

jason p ... has it really come down to this!? ... you are on a message board defending a guy who strapped a pet in a carrier on the roof of his car for a long distance trip ... everyone knows that the back of a pick up isn't the same as the roof ... if a pebble flies off the road - it won't hit anything in the back of a pick up ... but it will hit something on the roof ... it's why we drive with windshields ...

forget about that for now tho ... what this shows is this guy is a moron ... i understand the partisanship that goes on around here ... but really!?? ... you're gonna waste your time defending this person for this act!?? ... c'mon now ...

He built a windshield for the carrier.

I'm still trying to figure out what the title of this thread means. Punctuation would help.

Is it: Romney is mean too, dogs! (Randy Jackson prefers this one. And to be leader of the free world, you have to be a little mean, dogs!)

or: Romney is mean, too dogs. (meaning dogs are mean, also. Though this is a weird way to put it).

or: Romney is. Mean too dogs. (not sure what the 2nd sentence means).

and lastly: Romney, is mean too dogs? (Asking Mitt about a simile like an SAT test question. We're just missing the other part of the question - is mean too dogs is like nice too cats, e.g.)

didn't know that but still it's just not a very bright move however you cut it ... would you stick a baby on the roof - if it was perfectly strapped in? ...

being mean to dogs is the least of his worries... he's called Mitt Romney for a fucking start.

That's the one I thought of when I was reading this last evening! ...although I would've preferred the perfectly-acceptable "dawgs" spelling as well.

I remember as a kid on outings with my family, our dog would be in the back of the car with us, head (and partial body) out of the window, tongue flapping like nobody's business. She was a happy girl.

Not defending or condemning, and assuming Romney's dog was safe and protected in the crate up there, I would imagine s/he had a fucking blast.

Then again, I'm no dawg.

DEVO's Jerry Casale replies to comments regarding their new song about Mitt Romney's dog:

Regarding Obama supposedly eating dog meat as a child: Look up "equivocation" people! Why engage in apples and oranges arguments? Even if Obama ate some dog, he didn't abuse and kill it for goddsakes! It was already dead! And, as far as Romney's claim that Seamus like being roof-racked, when is the last time your dog showed joy by convulsing and shitting mounds of diarrhea down your car windows from that fun trip on the roof in the hot summer sun? Give me a (you know what) break! This not about Democrats vs Republicans or Red vs Blue and all the rest of that trumped up pseudo WWF smack down crap the media hypnotizes you with. This is just about a man with a very questionable soul. Even though our political candidate choices are about as deep as the difference between Pepsi and Coke these days, and knowing that the president is just a figurehead bought and paid for by the Plutocracy that is America in Century 21, character still matters. A president should take the same oath as doctors i.e. "Do No Harm". We make pets dependent on us. We created all the dog breeds. We are thus responsible as stewards over all species. Case closed.

Well said Mr Devo... serious animal abuse.
