re: #117 HappyWarrior

I think in my 25 years, I’ve never seen any presidential nominee more unlikable than Mitt Romney. I didn’t agree with McCain but I thought he was a decent guy. Didn’t like Bush but could see he cared at least. Mitt? He seems to only care about the very wealthy and getting elected. I don’t blame the conservatives who dislike and distrust Romney because he is every bit a phony and bullshit artist. He really embodies everything I dislike about modern conservatism- greedy, intolerant, lacking any real empathy, close minded, etc.

Romney is, by every measure I can conceive of, the embodiment of all things people in this country hate about the rich. He really has no positive qualities that don’t boil down to “He’s Not Obama.” The support he’s got within his party is absolutely tepid, with the general theme being “He’ll do.” I haven’t seen a party this unenthusiastic about their own candidate since Kerry in ‘04.
