46. Bush was stupid, but Romney is dangerous in my mind.

Bush was stupid and basically did what Cheney and Rove told him to do. What he brought to the campaign was name recognition.

Romney is mean. He hates people who aren't like him and he doesn't want to have to bother with them. That's what is frightening, to me.
