Remember the incumbent almost always wins. Also, the economy is the most important factor and it is improving. Also keep in mind Obama has made no SIGNIFICANT errors. Finally, who SHOULD win?

I think you've been pulled into someone's practical joke.
FISH-O
I am not American. I would not enjoy having to choose. I know that I could never vote for a man who strapped his dog in a box to the top of his car and drove for 12 hours.
Our political system and voting doesn't work the way yours does. We don't all vote for our Prime Minister... he has to win his riding.
I am so glad to be Canadian. My choices are always easy as I live in British Columbia. By the time our polls close the decisions have been made... There are far more voters in the East than there is in the West.
In the West we vote because we can.

My boy was completely terrified. He shook. He whimpered and yet he was completely safe.
Strapping at dog to the top of a car, in a box, without air is inhumane.
I would not vote for a man who did that as much as I would not vote for a man who set a kitten's tail on fire.
If a man has no empathy for an animal that he calls his pet... then he has no empathy at all. In the global arena, this is a flaw.
Skis travel on the top of a vehicle... not animals!
And, not all dogs like the back of a Pick Up Truck... my little 8 pound dog would loose it. I can assure you. That would ruin my little girl.
This is walking on the fine line.
Don't have pets if you consider them as luggage... I won't back down.
I have rescued more animals than any single person I know from situations that are dire.
A dog should be treated with respect and not left to run back and forth in the back of a pick up truck to go flying out should the person driving the truck decide to make the wrong move... The crate that the dog travels in (if that dog is so lucky) should be bolted down for safety...
I have seen dogs fly out of the back of trucks on the Mission connector.
You make me so angry.
You are priveleged to have a dog in your life... DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
Take care of your dog.
You strap your children in... the dog should be treated that way.
I don't know how safe Romney's dog was but being strapped in is not always safe either. I love my dogs but that don't even put them in the same ballpark as my kids.
I hold this true in my heart even though I don't travel the same path as you.
Look at your dog. Know that dog. And then understand the wonder of that dog.
You are blessed.
Jesus was surrounded by the loving creatures of God at his birth. For a reason.
Noah saved those creatures for a reason.
God's word transcends the words we read and interpret... God's word is around us every day... Curious words from a Buddhist.
I believe in respect. I believe in being bigger than my own faith.
I could never hurt an animal. That is just not on.
My grandfather was just like you, he thought he would play it safe by tying a rope around the dogs neck while Butch rode in the back of the truck. Butch tried to jump out when the truck stopped and died from strangulation before my grandad could reach him. It is NEVER a good idea to put a dog in the bed of a truck. Their Enjoyment is not worth the risks!
I have loved my animals as much as I love my sons. I have that ability, to love the things I love to the same degree as each other. I would die to save my sons the same way I would die trying to save my animals if need be. They are all creations of God and all are Soul. All worthy of love. You are a little man to not understand this. It's time for you to rethink who you are really serving in this world. Your own ego or God.
We also stop the car regularly to walk and water them. I would never strap any animal to the top of a vehicle.
If it wasn't hurt or distressed, the issue is even more moot.
I love animals, dogs especially; But to condemn someone for doing something that was pretty normal 30 years ago is ridiculous. Up until the late 90's you could put your kids in the bed of your truck and dive 12 hours and no one would bat and eye--why on earth would there be a problem with having a dog on the roof?
Colleen, as far as your name calling, what you think of me is not my concern nor will I lose any sleep over it. Anyone who treats a pet equal with a human has a problem, as far as I’m concerned.
And let me answer what I believe you implied about me loving animals equally with humans, no I do not have sex with animals and you're a pervert if this is what you meant. I can think of no other reason as to why you would believe I should love animals less than humans. They were created by God, the true God not the made up God. They have Soul. Your next lifetime will probably see you as an animal again just to remind you of that.
"Up until the late 90's you could put your kids in the bed of your truck "
Where? This, in the state I grew up in, was outlawed in the early 70's. I know you don't live in a hick town so I think you made this up.
FROM AN EXPERT:
“What happens to a dog in this situation is precisely what would happen to any of us in the same situation: Trapped in a box for 12 hours would be no one’s idea of comfortable,” said Llope.
FROM ANOTHER EXPERT:
Dr. Russell Cumming, a professor of aerospace engineering at California Polytechnic State University, got a little more technical.
“At that speed, assuming sea level conditions, the poor little dog would have about 10 pounds per square foot pressing against his head,” said Cumming.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Douglas Osheroff of physics at Stanford University said the dog crate on top of the car would change the air flow around the vehicle.
“Beyond a certain velocity, the air flow becomes turbulent,” said Osheroff. “The airflow isn’t going to be laminar,” which means it won’t have a uniform distribution.
Cumming said that’s bad news for Seamus.
“Chances are the windshield would only protect the front of the dog, but the air flowing around the windshield would buffet the side of the dog — that would be tiring,” said Cummings. “My wife’s a vet, and she would be more worried by the dehydration of the dog’s eyes under those conditions.”
That ten pounds of pressure buffeting poor Seamus was strong enough and stressful enough to literally squeeze the sh!t out of the dog.
“A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours,” the article said.
After his son noticed the liquid, Romney pulled the car over and hosed down Seamus at a gas station before putting him back into the crate on top of the car and continuing on with the drive.
It is illegal in Massachusetts (and the rest of the country) to tie an animal “in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon.”
THE MORON HOSED THE DOG OFF AND PUT HIM BACK INTO THE CONTAINER WET! HOW COLD DO YOU SUPPOSE THE DOG GOT??
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
"That ten pounds of pressure buffeting poor Seamus was strong enough and stressful enough to literally squeeze the sh!t out of the dog."
KEEP SUPPORTING THIS RANDY AND I'LL KEEP BELIEVING YOU REALLY HAVE NO HEAD!
I'll even give up being a moderator here to have my say AGAINST supporters of animal abuse. TD me all you want if it makes you feel better. I'm not a fan of the karma system anyway. I'd like to see it go away. So go ahead, thumbs down away and show you support a person who supports animal abuse.
Colleen, I am not for animal cruelty of any kind and stop making it out that I am, but I do believe an there a difference between people and animals.
As far as God in my life, I'm not the one calling names and acting like a mad child.
I have sent to the admin to remove me as a moderator. I will no longer have it used to try and silence MY freedom of speech here.
I lost my desire to protect this place since it stopped being a help site after Randy's temper tantrum, then Bills temper fit, then Rogers attacks, and more. I get disgusted in seeing how people kiss azz on these goofballs. Apparently, people prefer that sort of drama over helping to answer questions. Something the crybabies that throw fits here do extremely little of. I'm tired of babysitting little children who are older than I am. I will not play nicey nice with anything I find disgusting, like being FAKE and pretending to be a bringer of light while defending animal abuse.
Without the weight of being a moderator, I will be free to be as I choose to be. No rope around my neck held by members who don't even answer the help questions here.
If you decide to stop being moderator, don't blame me, I have always said you had a thankless job anyway.
I'll call anyone the same names I called you if they side with ANIMAL ABUSE too. Deal with it! Get some compassion and figure out what Christ meant when he spoke of LOVE. He did not mean it for just humans. I've told you before, your mind is too closed off. Open it, understand the message. Don't just be a drone. Dogs have Soul too and you will weep when you get to heaven and find that out, then have to face the way you treated animals when you believed they were Soulless. What "names" did I call you that did not demonstrate your actions and beliefs that it's OK to abuse a dog. Your back peddle on your own words is weak. It does not matter is it was a short trip or a long trip. What matters is it was done in the first place and you showed the type of person you are by finding humor in it. I take back NOTHING I said to you. This shoe fits you well. All you're looking for is sympathy from the other members now. Just the same as you looked for during your 3 day temper tantrum here. You only care about yourself. You're a very selfish man and the last one who should be telling others to get saved when it is you who needs saving.
You were pissing Fishlet off! She has more grace than I do. That's the only reason your conversation was civil. Trust me, I only said the things she wanted to say. She's just a whole lot nicer and sweeter than I am. Her sweetness is genuine, unlike another here...
I also had school friends that died because of riding in the back of their dad's pick up truck. I personally like the seat belt laws.
I hope you understand in no way do I support animal abuse but don't think it's fair to write someone off for a dumb thing that was done 30 years ago when we weren't there and only know what is reported on. Some times we learn from our mistakes, I hope he has as our country may depend on it.
There are 78.2 million domesticated dogs in USA.
Owners spend money on their beloved pets. In 2011, American pet owners spent $50.96 Billion on these beloved family members.
If I were Mitt I would hope and pray that the average voting American is a forgiving person.
Romney is just another Obama. Just as evil and just as wrong for this country.

All polls show that he will be elected again. I had hoped that a black President would pull this country together. Instead it has polarized the races. His record is a joke, that only proves that there are more uninterested or stupid people out there than anyone knew. I heard it said that the American white woman put Obama in office. I would be inclined to believe it. Women for the most part were feed up wiith Bush's policies. They do the shopping and run the household and know the cost of a loaf of bread. This Jerk ran on "CHANGE". Well we got it, all bad. Hopefully the women see the writting on the wall this time around. Gas will be between $8 and $10 per gallon. That loaf of bread will be $10.00 come December. People wake the hell up.

The truth is anyone will be better for the country.
I've been around a looooong time and Obama is the worst President in my time, who is distroying the country and our economy with an added seven TRILLION DOLLARS of debt, since he took office. His ONLY accomplishment has been in making Jimmy Carter look like a good President
I'm black but I was not taken in by Obama because I took the time to CHECK his record as a State Senator and as a US Seantor..
The black candidate that I and other blacks would have been proud to vote for was Allen Keyes, who has a Doctorate from Harvard and was a former UN Ambassador, who ran against Obama, for Illinois Senate.

I wish there was a place where we could get accurate information on what a politition has done good and bad. What we most get is propaganda from both sides. It would take reading a lot of books hearing a lot of economist and objective people before we humans to get the truth about anything going on in the political world. I understand that there are some things that are hidden from the public by the White House regarding the war. I try to get objective news sources. From what I understand republicans want to do away with government. I hate paying higher taxes too. But we need government and government regulations to avoid things like the housing melt down that occurred in the U.S. Over the last 4 years California has had to cut $56 billion from education, police, fire protection, healthcare and other critical services. Republicans want to futher cut and get rid of social security. The disparity of income is getting greater every day. There are 7,000 homeless people in my county alone. Yes Mitt showed lack of sensitivity to his dog which indicates how he feels and treats people. Many people that know him says while with Bains he fired them and let them come back after the takeover at a lower pay. I believe Congresswoman Palosy said they have been trying to get funding to fix roads & bridges in the US but Republicans will not let it pass, which would create many jobs. Several economist from all other the US has spoken about how the Republicans will actually destroy the economy, like they almost did with Brother Bush in office. About 200,000 jobs were lost monthly under Bush. Jobs are being added under Obama. They are getting ready to spend at least $440 million on negative ads against Obama. What a way to run a country. We humans need to use that mind power to support what ever president we have & try to make this a better world. Ideas that Republicans thought up, now claim they hate because Obama embraced them. How ignorant and some say racist. We need to grow up. I know its hard having a black president. A former slave person. It's like have a gorilla learn to talk and 65 years later it is the president. That's hard to swollow on many levels. I heard a lot of my friends who are republicans say they are embarrassed that republicans are acting like this, and they think its because obama is black and of course not born in this country. p.s. many economist say everything the republicans are suggesting to correct economic problems will only make things worst. Listen to the economist people. Not fox news. Just for the record, I do like Ron Paul because he is totally against war like me. I think Mitt is a decent person and knows how to balance books, Obama is trying his best & help give America a renewed good look around the world, because everybody was sick sick sick of Bush and his war making friend Cheney. As they said, "Cheney never saw a war he didn't like." People cried all over the world when Obama because they felt he was for the people. Many still feel like that. President is a very hard job. How would you do and what would you do if you were in his shoes. Seriously. Get rid of all the social programs, more homelessness. Seniors with no social security. And to top it off people (politicians dem & rep) who are suppose to working for the people and what the people want, just revel in gridlock, like, according to political historians, never before. Rep do not support anything at all the president suggest. What kind of ignorance is that? I'd like to see everyone kicked out and start all over and it be against the law not to work for the people, but instead stop everything. Mitt's embarrassed that he said let Detroit and the car industry fall. But Obama supported it and it's turning around. Once again come on people, get some objective facts and let's support who ever is running the country for the betterment of all. Weather it's obama, bush, romney etc. As Dr. King said, we can work together or parish like fools.

You started this off really good .... then you did nothing but bash republicans. Now what are we to think?
Republicans don't want to do away with government but bring it back under control why we still can. Then give people freedom to do what Americans do best create jobs and grow the economy with government off there back.

Romney is toast!
republicans have had almost 4 years to dig up the same garbage on Obama, remember people! This is a presidential election, not a mr. congeniality contest.. Lets look at their agendas and that is all! AGENDA! not lifestyle. 1% 99% who cares?? all of us have a chance for the 1% some make it, some don't, if you didn't make it, maybe you did something wrong, ya think?? Don't hate the rich because they made it, this is immature and not important. The rich owe you nothing although I do believe they should pay their share but not penalized for being a success. They hold you job in their hands in many cases. Better not bite the hand that feeds you. But I digress.. Romney is not an animal abuser, the dog is fine, he's a family member what's worse is that 'wicked' person that puts their animal in the bed of a truck with no carrier or the baggage compartment of an airplane. The carrier is protection for the animal, they are manufactured for that purpose.
Peace out and don't forget to vote.
We have been fed a story by the media about Romney, that happenend 30 yrs. ago . I love animals . But who really knows what happenend 30 yrs. ago and everyone fell for it. I joined in too, because I did not research the story. It is nothing but a hype to discredit Romney.It was obiesly written by a democrat who wants Obama reelected. I have always known that the media will bring stories to suit theire ideology.
