"Romney dismissed any outcry about the 24-year-old incident, saying the dog enjoyed his rooftop perch.
'He scrambled up there every time we went on trips," Romney said at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh Thursday. "He got it all by himself and enjoyed it.'"

That is so utterly revolting. It's bad enough to abuse an animal, but then to claim that the animal actually enjoys it?! Honestly, I would love to strap him to the roof of my car for a 12-hour-drive and we'll see how much he enjoys it. What a scumbag.

[^dawn^]

I second that. It's sick. And then to hose the dog and everything down and keep driving? Yeah, I want this person in a position of power.

[crazywiggy]

That is sick. Just sick. I hope he's arrested for animal cruelty.

[Melissa82]

Wow. Just. Wow.

Umm... yeah, there are no words.

I read that earlier today, what an idiot and he isn't even sorry. I hate the arrogant attitude of people like that.

haha! I agree.

[HowietheGreat]

What an idiot. I will never understand how some people can lack total empathy for an animal.

[piggly wiggly]

He literaly scared the crap out of the dog, and then says the dog liked it. My god, what an a-s.

[mommyoffive]

Moron...thats all I have to say about the matter.

[Tulia&Susie]

That's just unbelieveable. It's...just...AHHH. I can't imagine straping my dog to my roof. That's just...very stupid. It's horrible.

Every time I see this post it angers me all over again. Dogs are creatures of self-sacrifice. They willingly perform tasks that are painful or dangerous to themselves for the sake of their owner. The dog went on the roof of the car willingly only because it wanted to please its owner, not because it enjoys it. My dog would walk through fire to get to me, she would drown trying to save me, she would put herself in the line of fire if my life were on the line. Does that mean she wants to injure herself? No, it just demonstrates what a noble and selfless creature she is to put her owner before herself. And in turn, I take the responsibility to love and care for my dog in every way I can, rather than taking advantage of her blind love.

Yeah, his dog "liked" it, just like LBJ's beagle liked being picked up off the ground by his ears and my neighbor's cat liked to swim, because every time my neighbor threw it in the lake it swam to shore. I'm sure the dog "liked" being sprayed with a hose, inside a cage and then getting blow dried at 60 mph. Selfish, ignorant, bullying, well the rest of the names I want to call him, I leave to your imagination.

[gpigluver14]

What an ignorant person. He must be sick actually. Poor dog must have been scared to death. And what if something happened? If he was going 60 miles per hour and got in an accident with the dog in a kennel on the roof, the dog's going to more injured then if he was on the inside of the car. I don't think he willingly went on the roof of the car either, like others mentioned. He just obeyed his owner and I don't think he liked it either.

I agree with all these posts, and really, there isn't much I can say. I'm speechless, and anyone who would do that to their pet of any kind, is a self induced scumbag with no care for others or their pets.

[Res Judicata]

Somebody slap me; I get a bit of a satisfyingly evil feeling out of picturing Mitt Romney strapped to a roof of a car going 65 MPH with the wind howling mercilessly in his face. God, I hate that guy even more now.

I read that a couple days ago, he is a first rate ID
