This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: The one thing that makes me dislike Romney is the shaggy dog story

	http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/02/15/146929766/why-romneys-shaggy-dog-story-wont-die?sc=fb&cc=fp during a 12-hour car ride from Massachusetts to Canada back in 1983, there wasn't enough room in the family station wagon for the five Romney sons as well as Seamus, the Irish setter. So Romney put the dog in a crate on the roof instead. "He'd built a windshield for the carrier, to make the ride more comfortable for the dog," according to the story. But what has really outraged dog lovers is what happened next, according to the story, when the first sign of trouble was spotted by oldest son Tagg. "'Dad!' he yelled. 'Gross!' 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 now infamous story reads. Romney: "This is a completely airtight kennel, mounted on the top of our car. He climbed up there regularly, enjoyed himself, he was in a kennel at home a great deal of the time as well. We loved the dog, it was where he was comfortable and we had five kids inside the car and my guess is he liked it a lot better in his kennel than he would have liked it inside." Ever since I read that I've been fairly cold on him. Before, while I support Obama, I'd have few problems with him as PODUS. -----signature----- There is no emotion, there is peace.

	Yeah, so if it was airtight the dog would suffocate first of all, and it would be pooptight as well. I just think it's crazy that it was an irish setter. Those are big dogs, I can't imagine trying to get one on the roof of a car. Edit: It's a real story. He basically thinks there was nothing wrong with it. -----signature----- College women are as unstable as free radicals.

	It's a true story. It shows a degree of ruthlessness that I'm wary of. Might not be a bad thing for a President to have. Lots have had it. -----signature----- There is no emotion, there is peace.

	Of anything about Romney you could dislike, you pick this? Hundreds of animals fly in the cargo holds of planes every day. Maybe he could have flown the family and the dog to Korea and have a BBQ with the Korean neighborhood. Dogs are chattel. -----signature----- yawn
