Don't want your suffocating dog to die in its own shit. That'd be messy.

hose the car off - because of the dogshit that had sprayed all over it on the drive up to that point. Sounds like it wasn't so air-tight. And it sounds like the dog wasn't in the happiest of conditions. Otherwise why'd he have to hose the car down?

This dog lover would not vote for romney even if he was a Dem.

This prick did everything he could to bring down the Clinton presidency, and he and all his little republi-CON friends want nothing more than to bring government down, too. Wouldn't that be exquisite if he wound up doing it to his own party?

Romney's superpacs took down Newt in Iowa and now he's going to return the favor--in spades. There's something about Romney that makes his opponants not just dislike him but really really despise him.

I don't think the Newtser's getting invited to the GOP convention this year.

preditory capitalim. This would be like if Dennis Kucinich made a flim attacking Obama for being soft on terrorism and spending too much money on social programs. Newt thinks like Lord Voldemort of the Harry Potter series; "There is no right. There is no wrong. There is only power." But this business convinces me that many if not most working class right-wingers really have no idea what the core principles of modern conservatism are.

and they stopped at the carwash to hose off the dog, the crate, and the car. Romney's son spilled the beans on this one. Can't remember which son, but I don't believe it was the one who quit his job because to spend time on the campaign/was fired for spending too much time on the campaign.

Carwash is it? Oh man! I thought it was merely a gas station. They had to go to a frickin' carwash???????

Must have been some mess if they had to wash down the car AND the crate, as well as the dog. Probably put the dog back in the crate all wet, too.

Goldie would be horrified if we did so.

What I love is how the THINGS were safely packed inside, along with the people. The luggage I'm sure was safe and secure and not open to the wind and cold. But the dog - A FELLOW LIVING CREATURE - gets strapped up on top of the car.

That is just. Damn.

If you wrote the word hate on every star in every galaxy in the entire universe I do not believe it would begin to equal the amount of hate Newt Gingrich feels for Mitt Romney.




I can kind of imagine why he feels that way too... For almost a month he truly believed he was the nominee and Mitt Romeny's negative ad campaign ripped that away from his grimy little hands. That's gotta hurt.

37. Citizens United On Crack...
Fri Jan 13, 2012, 11:42 AM
Jan 2012

The irony here is how all of these candidates have their own super pacs and supported Citizens "United"...and now are destroying each other and their corrupt party with it. Mittens Gecko is ready to fire back with his own pac and this game will go on a little longer...in the meantime the venom will flow into the millions of dollars. The fun of watching all these douchenozzles fall on their petard is delightful and I'm sure the Obama campaign couldn't be more delighted.

The egos on parade here are the real amusement. They all think they're totally right and when their past is questioned that's considered a "dirty attack". When it's your pac on the attack, then it's "asking questions".
