Wow. Mitt Romney Is A Cruel Fuck And Has tortured dozens already. AND HE HAS HURT A DOG.
... 133 plaintiffs filed a civil suit against Romney’s Utah finance co-chair, Robert Lichfield, and his various business entities involved in residential treatment programs for adolescents... Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS, sometimes known as WWASP) and Lichfield is its founder and is on its board of directors.
... teens were locked in outdoor dog cages, exercised to exhaustion, deprived of food and sleep, exposed to extreme temperatures without adequate clothing or water, severely beaten, emotionally brutalized, and sexually abused and humiliated. Some were even made to eat their own vomit.
But the link to teen abuse goes far higher up in the Romney campaign...state investigators and/or civil lawsuits documented scores of abuses including teens being beaten, deprived of food and sleep for days, restrained by fellow youth for hours, bound, sexually humiliated, abused and spat upon.
Now let’s look at his tight ties to youth rehab facilities that are run like Gitmo. He thinks that Gitmo is too small and that prisoners are being treated wll enough. Like Bush, he is a cruel careless unAmerican hate monger, and his shifting stances tell us that he would literally do anything and say anything to get in power and stay there.
One of the plaintiffs in the current case against WWASPS, 21-year-old Chelsea Filer, spoke to me when I was researching a TV segment on the industry. She told me that she was forced to walk for miles on a track in scorching desert heat with a 35-pound sandbag on her back. "You were not allowed to scratch your face, move your fingers, lick your lips, move your eyes from the ground," she said. When she asked for a chapstick, "They put a piece of wood in my mouth and I had to hold it there for two weeks. I was bleeding on my tongue."
...
Although it has settled several lawsuits out of court, the organization has never publicly admitted wrong-doing. However, the U.S. State Department spurred Samoa to investigate its Paradise Cove program in 1998 after receiving "credible allegations of physical abuse," including "beatings, isolation, food and water deprivation, choke-holds, kicking, punching, bondage, spraying with chemical agents, forced medication, verbal abuse and threats of further physical abuse."

Now onto the DOG!
The incident: dog excrement found on the roof and windows of the Romney station wagon. How it got there: Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, despite Seamus's rather visceral protest.
Massachusetts's animal cruelty laws specifically prohibit anyone from carrying 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." An officer for the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals responded to a description of the situation saying "it's definitely something I'd want to check out." The officer, Nadia Branca... "if the dog was being carried in a way that endangers it, that would be illegal."

This guy would be worse than Bush. He is torturing people and animals and I don’t care how good he smells. He is Cheney and Bush rolled into one.
