The Conservative Cave

Much has been made about Mitt Romney, in 1983, putting his family dog Seamus in a kennel on top of his roof and driving from Boston to Canada, with said canine Seamus making his displeasure known in a rather scatological way.
Democrats have signaled they have every intention of making sure the American people — especially dog-lovers — know the tale. In January, senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod tweeted a photo of the president and Bo in a car, with the snide observation: “@davidaxelrod: How loving owners transport their dogs.â€
The Romney campaign signaled tonight that they are not about to cede any ground when it comes to a candidate’s odd past with man’s best friend.
And the Obama campaign shot back, with a spokesman suggesting the Romney team was attacking a child, since the Obama act in question took place when he was a kid.
The Daily Caller noted that in President Obama’s best-selling memoir, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,†the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
“With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy),†the president wrote. “Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.â€
After his mother married Soetoro, Obama lived in Indonesia from 1967 until 1971, from roughly the age of 6 through 10.
The discovery that the president had eaten dog meat prompted wise-cracks on twitter (hashtag — #ObamaDogRecipes) and this tweet from Romney strategist Eric Fehrstrom, who re-tweeted Axelrod’s original message with a different take on the picture of the president and Bo.
“@EricFehrn: In hindsight, a chilling photo,†he wrote.
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt tweeted in response: “@BenLaBolt What’s the next attack @EricFerhn and the RNC will surface on a 6-10 year old?â€
The Seamus story was discussed again Monday when Ann Romney told Diane Sawyer that “the dog loved†traveling that way. “He would see that crate and, you know, he would, like, go crazy because he was going with us on vacation. It was to me a kinder thing to bring him along than to leave him in the kennel for two weeks.â€
Certainly kinder than eating him.

So, here we have a clear difference in candidates to help us choose between them.
One lets the dog enjoy something they enjoy more than just about anything.
The other prevents the dog from ever enjoying anything again.

Aren't dogs "unclean" to Islamofascists? Does that mean that Allah will send Obama directly to hell, "do not pass go", when the bastard finally assumes room temperature?

I wonder .. Does it taste like 'chicken'? :panic: :rofl: :panic:

What is the difference between Romney and Obama in regards to dogs? Romney sticks his on the roof of his car, Obama gets his stuck in the roof of his mouth. :rimshot:

Wow. Obama really stewed the pooch on this one...

I get so annoyed at doo-doo like this. I don't care if Obama ate dog meat. I probably would, too, if I were somewhere it was served. I don't care if Romney had his dog in a kennel on top of his car. So what?
Gads, it's difficult to find truthful information about where candidates stand on issues. Pitiful to see this is what many base their votes on. Not here, on this site. We are all trying to make educated decisions, I think.
But as a country... We are doomed!

Romney was on Fox News and was asked about the stories, he brushed them aside and pretty much said that there are other more important issues to be talked about. However, it is news and it is funny when these leftist memes turn around and bite them in the ass.

Most fun I have had in a long time. I somewhat agree that this is sidetracking us from more important issues: debt, defecit, unemployment, etc., but I'll be damned if I will not rejoice in the Left being Breitbarted by using their tactics against them.

There is NO WAY the left and its media allies will ever let this campaign become issue-oriented. In the last month, we've gone through contraception, a war on women, Rush Limbqugh, Trayvon Martin, another war on women, Ted Nugent, and now puppygate.
The bright side is that every time the left tries one of these, it blows up in their faces.
Btw. If you eat dog, what do you call the bag that you use to take home leftovers?

Bo better watch out. He might be for dinner.

In that case you wouldn't have to worry about letting the cat out of it.
