Santorum Campaign Plays The Seamus Card

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/14/seamus-romney-santorum_n_1344534.html

A top adviser on Rick Santorum's campaign said Mitt Romney's bizarre treatment of the family dog 30 years ago shows the former Massachusetts governor has poor judgment.

"Quite frankly, I'm not sure I'm going to listen to a value judgment of a guy who strapped his own dog on the top of a car and went hurling down the highway," Santorum adviser John Brabender said on CNN's "Starting Point," in response to a question about Romney's allegation that the Santorum campaign is "desperate."

"For Mitt Romney to be out there, saying that this is desperate," Brabender continued, "is an insult also to the voters in places like Mississippi and Alabama who evidently didn't get the Romney desperate memo."

Brabender's not the only one who thinks Romney's treatment of the family dog, Seamus, showed poor judgment. Shortly after the Boston Globe reported in 2007 that Romney put his dog's kennel on the roof of the car for a 12-hour drive to Canada, Alabama resident Scott Crider launched an internet-based movement called Dogs Against Romney. The group's Facebook page now has more than 37,000 fans.

1. Big Kick, wish I could rec it more than once! nt

[get the red out]

2. I actually agree with Santorum on something!

I find the fact that Romney, with all his damn money, thought transporting his dog like that was ok. My God, there are people who can barely afford to feed their dogs that give them far better lives than that!!!!! Did he ever hear of BOARDING HIS DOG while he was on vacation?

It's not an insult to voters in the South or anywhere. If a guy can't show empathy for his own dog, a living being that he's responsible for and lives with, what kind of empathy can he show for the people of this country, that he's never met, who face difficulties?

3. Whatever happened to Mutt Romney (i.e. Seamus)?

Did Willard at least give him a decent burial or did he throw him away like yesterday's trash?

5. I think I remember wifie* telling someone on the teevee that the dog ran off

as soon as he was let out of the cage he ran off to never be seen by the rMoney family again.

*Sorry I don't remember his wifes name. my bad
