(2,921 posts)I was debating with an old neighbor and true progressive, earlier on during the primary debates, when he stated that Mitt seemed like a reasonable republican. I told him that there's something about the guy that just doesn't sit well with me. Then the bullying stories broke, the pranks, and I knew my intuition was correct. My friend since then recanted on his belief that Romney resembled anything near normalcy, and in his own words "kinda creepy"
I found it ironic that babylonsister posted the Rolling Stones article featuring Stephen Stills in the politics forum and said it best. "With only a few days left, there is very little opportunity for nuance, so I will just tell you from my gut. I never in my lifetime thought I would see a creepier politician than Richard Nixon, but in the last few days, it became clear that Willard Mitt Romney is really, really creepy. Icky creepy, as my granddaughter would put it."
One might argue the Bush family was creepier than Nixon, but Romney has them both beat. I can't for the life of me figure out how the media and celebrities with ANY sense of a moral compass can play up to this asshole. It's disgusting and a disgrace to the intellect of this country.
