I really hate Mitt Romney

I do hope the Good Reverend gets the 2nd half the debate blog taken care of and I live in envy of his comment about the hairless cat, I will say that of the two of us, he is far more tolerant and forgiving of the GOP then I am. While I a wack-job libertarian on social issues, I have no use for the economic policies of the right wing or their plans to dismantle Medicare/repeal any and all attempts at health care/slash taxes for the rich. George W. Bush was a nightmare for this country and the party he represented has moved even further to the right since he's been out of office, having any Republican in the White House would be devastating to this nation.

Which brings me to Mitt Romney. He is the emptiest of empty suits, Mitt Romney stands for everything, which means he stands for nothing, each campaign he runs is tailored only for that election, the things he says only meant to be held to him for as long as it will get him a vote. This is a man who told the good people of my home state of Massachusetts that if they elected him to the Senate that there really wouldn't be a dime's worth of difference between himself and Ted Kennedy, except for the fact that Ted Kennedy was now old and senile.

That was Mitt Romney in 1994, running to replace the "Liberal Lion" of the US Senate, and vowing to be pretty much the same guy, but just more with it mentally and a bit tougher on crime, but he still was OK with women having the right to have abortions and all that jazz.

Then when he won the governorship of Massachusetts once again reassuring the state that he was socially liberal, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, just another Bill Weld style republican who was tolerable to the Massachusetts electorate.

I really feel like Romney just wanted the gig so he could put it on his resume because he wanted to be able to say he'd been a governor or a senator before he ran for President, which was his goal the whole time, he just wanted to be able to be addressed as "Governor Romney" or "Senator Romney" before he made his play for the White House, so he got his one term of office and he was all set.

Now he's a social conservative, now he's pro-life and working to re-install DADT, now he's against the same health care bill he was for when he signed it into law in Massachusetts. He has changed his mind on just about everything he's ever done. They called John Kerry a 'flip flopper' for his supposed shifts on issues, Romney requires the English language invent new words to explain his spineless jumping around the political spectrum to back up whatever his current point of view is.

Mitt Romney is a fraud, plain and simple, the man will say or do anything to get elected, if the man thought eating a kitten would get him one more vote, then little fluffy would be his dinner that evening. I truly hate this man, and the fact that he's the only legitimate guy the GOP has just goes to show what depths the party has fallen to. T-Paw's gutless refusal to attack him last night leads me to believe he's running only to be Mitt's Veep, and if he's not, he's to big a coward to win this thing anyhow, so it's Mitt's to lose, and we're stuck with such a horrible economy and broken media that this man could be our next President.

We're right and truly screwed as a nation if this man wins.
