Just In Case You Needed Another Reason To Be Ecstatic Ann Romney's Not Your FLOTUS

[calimary]

22. Welcome to DU, IrishAyes!

Glad you're here! It was reassuring to get the voice of someone as prominent and mainstream as David Letterman - bringing that story about poor Seamus back out into the public awareness. mitt would certainly have preferred that the story be lost in obscurity. Dave the dog-lover wasn't having any of that! I once imagined a bumper sticker that would read "My dog won't let me vote for romney."

To me it wasn't just the surface incident in and of itself. For me it was - this is the regard he shows to other living things, purportedly even those he says are like family members. It just bothered me at a very deep level - that the dog was outside strapped to the roof, and the luggage and supplies - the STUFF - the inanimate non-living THINGS - was safely stowed inside the car. WTF?????? That just doesn't make sense to me, and the cavalier nature of his reaction to it and response to it when questioned, told me all I needed to know about his inner motivations and gut instincts, what kind of man he is, and thus what kind of president he might be. By thy default position art thou known.
