Romney Still Defends Putting Family Dog On Roof Of Car
By: Logan Murphy on Sunday, August 12th, 2007 at 8:58 AM - PDT

On this morning’s “Fox News Sunday”, host Chris Wallace interviewed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and actually hammered him about putting his dog, Seamus, in a kennel on the roof of his car on a long family vacation. Wallace, who says he’s a dog lover, points out that Massachusetts law prohibits endangering animals in this way and asks, “what were you thinking?”

After a chuckle, Romney jovially explains how Seamus jumped up there on his own and how much he loved being on the roof of the car. He also assures Wallace that the kennel was airtight and safe, but admits that he had no idea that he was breaking the law.

8. Actually he was having a giggle about this yesterday at the strawpoll.
Edited on Sun Aug-12-07 12:49 PM by AnotherGreenWorld
He made up a story about how a terrorist was caught and told the troops, "I'll be back! I'm going to America and I'm going to get a lawyer!" (Well, something like that; it was actually far dumber.) Then, getting to his point, he says, "That's why we got to keep the gitmo open guys!"

5. A person should not need a LAW to tell him what is ethical. Reminds me
of the WH.

6. AIRTIGHT???? Was it air conditioned too? If it was airtight, how
the hell did the dog BREATHE?????

Hey Mittens! It IS good to be quick with your answers, but you really should tell the truth. When you lie, the quick answers will kill ya!

As much as I dislike FOX I give Chris a thumbs up for asking THAT question!

7. i am taken back that Chris Wallace would put him on the spot about this---He
does not get concerned with troops killed for an illegal war but he is concerned about dogs (don't get me wrong-----I am an animal lover myself)

11. Yeah, but Ghouliani and McCain didn't participate.
The guy who came in second in the straw poll spent something like $100,000 max. About five people voted.

13. That's a disqualifying incident
There are just some things that defy explanation and this is one of them. I don't know how he is still in this. People must not know, is all I can figure.

15. Our party isn't attacking Republicans
They don't attack each other, so if we don't do it, nobody will. But we're too busy concocting lies about our own candidates to hammer away at any of these right wing stories.

17. I agree. And his recent comment about his five sons' "service to the country"
riding around Iowa trying to get dad elected ought to have been the final nail in the coffin.

16. Maybe if more young people volunteered to ride on the roof of a
Romney car, they could come home from Iraq.

18. I wonder, did Mitt talk with Michael Vick prior to this act?
and what is wrong with his wife? Is she brain dead too? "Whatever you say honey, we're rich" yet completely stupid. :banghead:
