Why I hate Romney the worst out of all Republican candidates
Whereas the rest of the field have egregious positions on the war or social issues Romney along with having all of the worst Republican stances on these issues also brings a "CEO" mentality to the process.

Bush was our 1st "CEO President" a man who didn't understand that running a business and running a nation are two very different things with very different goals. Romney would be a champion of the priveledged and corporations just like Bush albeit in a more articulate package.

As for the rest of the field, despite their Republican crapulance they each actually bring at least one redeeming characteristic to the mix, Mcain champions campaign finance reform, Hucabuck is an economic populist, giuliani has moderate stances on social issues. True they all suck, and suck badly but romney takes the cake at sucking because he has zero redeeming stances and would just continue the Bush policies without deviation.

2. There are some good old Ted Kennedy ads on Romney
when he tried to run against Teddy. And they could just use them on him now. This guy buys companies and then lays off the workers. He would be toast in this economy. You could use the same old ads

3. I hate Romney's guts
& I am wondering why people are discounting him - he's got a good chance of "buying" the nomination and he's very slimy - as slimy as they get. He won't be a roll over in the GE either.

4. I hate Romney
because he is the Bushies' candidate. That fact alone is all I need to know that a Romney presidency wouuld be another 4 to 8 years of disaster for the United States and the world.

6. I'll be truthful
I want to beat him up. I want to smack him in the face 100 times. I want to wipe that plastic smile off his face. Sorry.

7. Bush being a fuck-up doesn't mean anything
Bush doesn't understand running a business. Every business he was in charge of, he was handed on a silver platter by daddy's friends. And, instead of making them successful, he sucked all the money out for himself and his buddies and crashed the business into the ground (which is exactly what he has done to the country).

I really want Romney to be the nominee. I think that he'll be the easiest to beat, most importantly. And, worst case scenario, I think he'd do the least damange as president, as long as there is a Democratic house and senate. McCain and Giuliani would blow up the world. Huckabee would turn us into a theocracy. I think that Romney is the most likely to compromise, especially on judicial appointments.
