The Clinton's simply gave their family pet, albeit a cat, and not really a pet compared to a dog, to a secretary, when leaving the WH, rather than haul it with them to NY.

Guess there wasn't a village of cats to raise him back in NY.

Don'tchathink that is a bit better then strapping the ****ing dogs kennel to the roof and LITERALLY scaring the **** out of him.

Of course the abandonment of a family pet is far more humane than scaring it. Makes me wonder why we allow pets to fly cargo instead of forcing their owners to simply relinquish custody.

His past record on health care, specifically creating the model of Obamacare troubles me far more.

You dodged the question. His total seeming lack of empathy is even more troubling to me. I like longshots and still am on Paul.

It's a non-issue for me. Something I wished dodging the question would have conveyed.

people carry dogs loose in the bed of their truck all the time-now that's scary. others are in a dog box in the bed of the truck. what's the difference between that and on top of a car? now, personally, i wouldn't put a kennel on a roof...but like i said, what's the difference. the bed of a truck is open, minimal protection. it could cause problems as well.

at any rate, i won't take dog kennels into consideration when i vote.

Both situations seem pretty inhumane to me. Sure, driving with the dog loose is worse, but traveling however many hours Romney did with his dog in a kennel on top of the car is pretty bad IMO.

In the list of reasons not to vote for him...it's way,way down there. But still, who does that?
