What do these Republican candidates have against dogs?

Mike Huckabee's son tortured and killed a stray dog: http://www.newsweek.com/id/78241 And Mitt Romney strapped his dog (in a dog carrier) to the roof of his family car for a 12-hr. drive: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1638065,00.html For the record, this reporting is coming from TIME and NEWSWEEK, not some activist's blog.

1. they were democrat dogs. duh.
2. Huckabee's son isn't running for President.
3. The same thing that democrats have against common sense.
4. they shouldnt be running for president they should be running from a bunch of p*ssed off dogs! or me, cuz i'd gut them for this crap.
5. Doesnt look like Mike Huckabee has anything against them..... It was his son. I hate liberal crap.
6. cause they are all pyschopaths in the making. They're starting off with dogs. It's only a matter of time before they move up on the ladder.
7. Rudy Giuliani's 3rd(present) wife killed puppies for a living. Not a lie,she demonstrated medical knives for doctors,then when the puppies were too hurt,had them put down.
8. i don't think their political affiliation has anything to do with those actions. Those two(or one and a son) are morons. There are democrats that torture and kill animals too, it's a personal value issue, not a political party issue.
9. Mike Huckabee didn't do anything to the dog, his son did. I don't see how you can automaticly blame him for his sons actions.
10. don't listen 2 EVERYTHING u hear. it could be way twisted out of proportion. and if they really did those things, i know i wouldn't vote 4 them, but i'm not gonna be all offended by something that might not be true.
11. Interesting question. I think it may be a general disrespect for other living things. I find both stories disturbing to say the least. They also both hunt or claim to. I have no problem with hunting for food to feed one's family, but don't understand it as a sport to watch something die.
12. And we daren't mention PETA, whose leftist leader has personally killed many dogs and cats. You are a moron.
13. Ignorant isn't it? These guys think they can earn our trust to run this country and they are negligent and irresponsible running their own lives.
