(53,061 posts)27. Dog on the Roof and 5 young boys had to hold their pee
Remember the telling of the whole story.
Its a 12 hour ride and the father predetermines when 5 young boys are going to have to empty their bladders.
The son who tells the story even laughs saying that "Only mom could make him stop".
So if a 6 year old in the back seat said "Dad I really really have to go" the Mitt Romney would make him suffer another 45 minutes because he predetermined when and where nature was going to make these boys uncomfortable.
Now think about that. Unlike Seamus these are HIS sons. He knows that boys can't control when they have to go past a certain time. What would any other Dad do. "When are we going to get there? Hell if I know, I got 5 boys and only God knows how many stops I have to make."
That is what normal Mitt would have done.

Classic serial killer development. His actions in business were a form of murder, too.

Maybe that's why it's been said that all the other rethug candidates hated him.
