Related: About this forum'Vick Romney' - Keep Seamus' memory alive.
Casually referring to Romney as Vick could prompt questions. The answer is hosing down a sick, traumatized animal with cold water and then, putting him back in the crate.

(68,918 posts)I can tell you fully half of the people I know would not understand the word "Vick". And I'm a huge football fan. Sorry. Thought you were looking for input.

(11,045 posts)I guess I get too caught up in animal cruelty. Killing wolves by helicopter didn't rub off much on Palin, if at all.

I just thought it was a good intro into Romney's character.

(15,189 posts)Took the dog out of the crate. How would he get a wet scared dog back in the crate? He might get himself soiled. Either way, Mittens's is heartless. Vick or Willard.

(34,139 posts)In the last week and a half I made a reference to Seamus to two Republicans. Separate people, different times. Neither one had ever heard the story. BOTH were outraged that anyone would do this to an animal. BOTH on their own without me prompting them said, "That man is not right in the head."
Both are people who interact with other Republicans regularly, and I wouldn't be surprised if they mention the Seamus story. If they do, they will be sure to share their opinion of the man who would do that to a dog.

Shitz Romney won't even admit his torture of a defenseless animal was what it was. Oh, he scrambled up on the roof of a station wagon...yeah, and I'm an astronaut!
I don't think Seamus ever came OUT of the crate when he was hosed down, which would mean Seamus got to lay in cold water all the way to Canada--the idea was to get the runny shit off the windows of the "white whale" station wagon--I think they could have given two shits about the dog.
If the dog did, indeed, run away when they arrived in Canada, I would not have blamed him in the slightest.

(11,045 posts)Oh God.
Romney's told three versions of the story:
1. He put a windshield in front of the crate
2. The crate was 'airtight'
3. My dog likes fresh air.
What I don't get is-
a) The man's a pathological liar
b) He's a pathetic liar
c) Bain & their clients eagerly swallowed his hopeless BS.

(135,425 posts)"A windshield in front of the crate" was probably a chunk of cardboard jammed up in the grate/holes facing the wind.
"The crate was airtight" meant it was an airline plastic one, not one of those open, black "cage" ones that you use when you have to confine, say, an injured pet.
"My dog likes fresh air" was true--that dog would rather run away to parts unknown in rural Canada and take his chances with bear and other wildlife than live with those torturing, crazed Robot Romneys!!!
He has no soul. That's how he was able to break apart companies while he was doing his thing at Bain--firing people, selling off the machinery and other assets, robbing the pension funds, giving himself stock in the pieces, selling off the pieces, watching others build them back up, and reaping the profits off work he did not do.
He's despicable, mendacious, and pure friken evil.
A monster who farts through silk drawers.

(68 posts)Obama supporters should put a dog carrier on top their cars and a Seamus tag. It would be a hilarious movement. Can you imagine the looks of Rethugs if it was widespread?

(11,045 posts)Perhaps wilt a smaller mock up?
You can carry a mattress on top of your car, or a luggage rack, or a set of skis, so long as what you are carrying is properly secured.
Heck, pizza delivery guys run around with giant pyramid advertisings for their businesses atop their cars.
Now THAT would be an idea--a glow-in-the-dark plastic dog kennel with a cartoon representation of the panicked dog looking out in terror, that affixes to the roof and plugs in to the cigar lighter for good night visibility, made in the same fashion as those pizza ads!
denem
(11,045 posts)I think a battery powered LED pack would do. Any suggestions about how I might look into getting them manufactured? Post nomination. I think I'll email Dogs Against Romney. Great idea.
MADem
(135,425 posts)and maybe put a link to it in GD, soliciting ideas? I know we have all kinds of people here who make their own stuff and who are very clever.
Or you could buy from this company...don't know where they make their stuff:
http://www.autosox.com/cabbies.htm
They do custom designs, too--a cartoon of a dog in a crate would show up nice on one of those things!
A quick look around on Google and I found a surprising (to me) number of places that make these things! Who knew?
Maybe Dogs Against Romney could do some looking at some of these companies selling these car top advertisements, and see if they can get a good price?
