David's post on healthcare must-sees led me to John McDonough's excellent writing, which led me to the Mitt Romney for President website. (No, really.) Despite myself, I kept reading and reading, drawn in with a sick "I can't belp but watch" kind of feeling. I was especially interested in the "Five Brothers" blog posts by the 5 Romney boys. Oh, and the occasional recipe posting by their wives.

I have to return to the dog, Seamus, whom Mitt tied to the roof of a car for a day-long trip.

Children who torture animals for fun are more likely to be abusers of people. Serial killers and murders often abused animals as children and young adults. How can anyone believe that compassion and empathy possibly can be found in a man who disregarded basic good treatment of a "beloved" family pet while traveling in pursuit of his own enjoyment??? Any person who owns a dog or even LIKES dogs a little bit can't imagine tying a dog to a roof rack and driving for a day, regardless of whether the kennel was open or enclosed. There's no way that dog was eager to get in the kennel after that hellish trip.

That one anecdote - told with a laugh by one of the Five Brothers - says much about the humanity of Mitt Romney. Ann Romney thinks the media made too much of that story; I think not enough was made of it.

2. Anyone asking the Five Brothers

why they're not signing up to so over and fight this war that their daddy so heartily supports? Maybe they're waiting for a job a Gitmo when daddy Mitwit expands the facilities after he becomes pres.

And what's with posting recipes. Like I really care what these people eat.

5. Recipes posted by the boy's wives?

What is this... 1957? Do they still smoke cigarettes and drink highballs when they're pregnant too?
