Gamechanger: Romney once saved a dog’s life
Hot Air ^ | APRIL 26, 2012 | ALLAHPUNDIT

You can thank BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski for the front-page thumbnail. In all seriousness, this is a “gamechanger” in the literal sense of that term. Axelrod and his pals are playing a breathtakingly stupid game with the “dog wars” and this anecdote will in fact change voters’ perceptions if/when it enters wider media circulation. Romney 2012: Because “dog” plus “water” does not equal “stew.”

Oh, almost forgot. He and his sons saved a bunch of people too during this same incident.

“We heard a whole bunch of screaming,” said Josh Romney, who immediately hopped onto his Jet Ski. “We tore out of there and my dad hopped on the other Jet Ski and came out right after us.”

Roughly 300 yards out onto the lake, six adult family members and their dog were floundering in the water, after their boat suddenly sprung a huge leak — sinking in less than 90 seconds, Josh said…

In the middle of the rescue, the governor actually took a dunking himself — thrown off the Jet Ski as one anxious boater scrambled aboard and tipped the craft off-balance.

The rescuing Romneys also managed to snatch the family dog, McKenzie, from a watery grave — grabbing the Scottish terrier first because it was the only passenger without a lifejacket.

“It looked like it wasn’t going to last much longer,” said Josh, who held the waterlogged pooch on the ride back to shore.

Sorry. No redemption. One cannot be cruel to one dog, save another, and find redemption. Not gonna happen.

Did he strap the dog to the top of the jet ski? I see a pattern here.........

Was Obama there? Did he eat the dog afterward?

Oh, dadgummit! Come on! Give the guy a chance! He wants to be a savior, deliverer, and messiah of the free world, too, just like Obama so he can qualify for planetary god status in the future!

You gotta remember that some dogs are just more equal than others. LOL!

Well, that certainly makes up for his support of abortion, homosexuality, mandated government health care, gun grabbing and liberalism.

NOT!

In the Seamus incident, sounds like Mitt was more stupid than cruel. “Hey, all dogs like to hang their faces in the wind!” Good grief, at least Seamus lived. Obama ate pooch.

While his actions were bad, his intentions were not. I can imagine a number of folks assuming that their dog would be okay on the roof of a car, since they love to stick their faces out into the wind. He gets a pass with me on this one.

And I’ll give Obama a pass also, since I know other cultures eat things we don’t. But Romney beats Obama in this particular ‘conflict’.

And he just jeopardized the cat votes he was going to get from coast to coast.

It's not a very serious thread, so the response was appropriate. I personally look forward to the smart-@$$ replies. Freepers are smart and funny.

Terrier tartare! A little arugla, some fava beans, chianti.

Romney just wanted to enlist the Scottie as a Mormon elder.

You want reasonable responses to a story where Romney isnt shown as evil. You must be a GOP-e Pro-abort homo loving socialist marxist wannabe democrat RINO tax-raising flip-flopping Mormon loving Christian hating non-natural birth supporting individual.

I think I covered it all there.
