In reply to the discussion: Florida’s Governor Adopted a Dog for the Campaign, Promptly Returned It From Whence it Came [View all]Blasphemer
(3,261 posts)29. It's the lying that makes his motivations suspect
Sometimes families are unable to keep adopted animals for a variety of reasons and with great regret, and often many tears, find another home for their pets. In such instances, these families can be perfectly honest about the reasons. It's obvious based on the fact that the Scotts felt the need to lie about returning the dog that they had no good reason for doing so. I have no doubt that the poor dog was nothing more than a campaign strategy.

I'm sure he has presidential aspirations, so this will come back and "bite" him on the behind.

It's not a GOP thing. Sen. Frist & his family rescued my dog. After she ran a marathon, yes really.
