The other thing that disturbs me about this story is that it's so... odd. Mitt driving around with dogs in the back of his pickup, not a great idea, but as has been said, lots of people do it. But NO ONE has said, yes, my family drove around with our dog on the roof, or our neighbors did it, or even, I've seen it a couple times on the highway.

I'd say what Vick did was far, far worse, but at the same time, I find it more understandable because he came from a background where dog fighting was commonplace (though Vick took it to an even more disturbing level). I have a hard time believing that a wealthy, educated man like Mitt simply didn't know any better.

I honestly don't know much about Mitt as a politician, but I'll admit I've seen some other stories that make me think that not only is he maybe indifferent to the suffering of others, but that there's something not quite right going on in his head.

Im no Mitt Romney supporter and I did say I thought he would have fared alot better if he would have said it wasnt a smart thing to do. It would have been smart because he would be appeasing animal rights people. But obviously he isnt good at playing the political game yet because he didnt do it. I know some character things do follow you but in these very difficult times where Companies are failing and leaving this country and people are jobless do I think it is overall important if a canidate did something of this nature 20 yrs ago, had an affair 20 yrs ago, smoked pot 20 yrs ago is more important than how they are going to turn this country around and how they are going to keep us safe from terriorist threats. Now I know Ive went too far in talking about politics but anything revolving around a political canidate is eventually going to turn political. Just my thoughts for whatever they are worth
