White House pets have long pedigree in political squalls
(CNN) - For all the headaches on the campaign trail, you would not think a candidate would be hounded by his own dog.
That, however, has been the relentless fate of Republican contender Mitt Romney. A trip to Canada 30 years ago with the family pooch in a car top carrier, has been the gift that just keeps giving to Democrats. They've lampooned him as cruel at worst, foolish at best, with bumper stickers and T-shirts that say "Dogs aren't luggage!" and "Mitt is Mean!"

Character is what you do when no-one is looking.... it matters that Mittens believes its OK to transport his pet on top of the car. I'd also run as far from him as I possibly could once the car stopped.
Walk around Pennsylvania, our homeless have dogs, the homeless in our state don’t eat their dogs. I know no one that has ever eaten dog, admitted to eating dog , except president Obama.
Tell us Obama, does a pedigree puppy taste better than a mutt? If anyone would know it would be you.
Why do right wingnuts come to the defense of an 18 year old gay basher, but think a 6 year old should be responsible for what is put on the table?
In PA, I heard they have been known to eat squirrels, which is nothing more than a tree rat.
And in Obama's case, Obama did not want a dog, he has one because Ted Kennedy forced Obama to take the dog.
Dog.... It's what's for dinner tonight at the Obama's! Grilled spaniel... HMMM HMM GOOD!
"Tell us Obama, does a pedigree puppy taste better than a mutt? If anyone would know it would be you."
Really, you would hold a child to the same standards as an adult?!? Thank you for proving how utterly deficient you rightwing extremists are when it comes to making valid and legitimate comparisons. Rmoney is a stone-cold psychopath, as his assault, his animal abuse and his "corporations are people too" show all too clearly. Yet to lunatics and the intellectually and morally bankrupt, what's more important is what some kid's parents made him eat as a child.
Investigative reporting is clearly not a CNN specialty.
Seamus on you Willard!!! You barked up the wrong tree now.
