Don't want your suffocating dog to die in its own shit. That'd be messy.
Where as, you can just run the vehicle through a car wash.

(2,593 posts)has an elitist element, talking about the very nice kennel that was used. Mind you, not the average kennel most people would use......

(81,220 posts)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.

(2,211 posts)Can't stand Newt but glad to see he's getting this out there. Hope Obama's paying attention in case Romney wins the nomination.

calimary
(81,220 posts)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?

(7,960 posts)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.

(20,226 posts)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.

(7,960 posts)Looks count. As long as they can keep him from saying anything too Gordon Gecko like he'll probably do all too well.

Really Mitt, you must be a real dog lover...

(9,821 posts)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.
calimary
(81,220 posts)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.
japple
(9,821 posts)quote me on the carwash part. At any rate, he hosed off the dog, crate, and car then eased on down the road.
Ruby the Liberal
(26,219 posts)That is downright disgusting and callous. Car washes don't "hose" they are water cannons.
That poor puppy must have been terrified.
calimary
(81,220 posts)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.

(4,484 posts)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.
alphafemale
(18,497 posts)A dog not wanting to be with his family? On a car ride?
Speaks to me that maybe those boys tortured that dog.
Wouldn't surprise me a bit, sadly.

(31,706 posts)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".
