In reply to the discussion: Is it just me, or is Mitt Romney the absolutely most unlikable person in the country? [View all]Grammy23

But when considering how this campaign has been run, thoughts of Mitt as our top elected official really makes my blood run cold. Or boil. Depending on how you look at it. He has proven himself to be a person lacking in the characteristics we want our President to hold. He lies when the truth would serve him better. He thinks nothing of pulling every dirty trick in the book in order to win and this applies even in his personal life. (Think of the charming stories that his own family has related about Mitt and his insatiable need to "win".) He seems to have NO guidance from his faith, which according to him, plays a huge role in his life. No sign of that from what I've heard....other than a lot of empty rhetoric. His views (expressed in the secret video) show a man with no regard for the poor, the disabled, our veterans, the retired and elderly population. He has lived a privileged life for ALL of his life and has no compassion or comprehension of the life those not blessed with that privilege must live. He talks a good line about "helping those in need" but it's all talk, not what he believes. He has much more concern for the wealthy at the expense of the rest of us.
Mitt Romney and his awful sidekick, Paul Ryan, would be a disaster of epic proportions for our country. I am not sure we have a FEMA large enough or funded enough to deal with the kind of misery they would bring on our entire country. Fortunately for us, the signs are there that their campaign is limping to an end, but not to Victory. That event seems more and more likely to belong to Obama/Biden!! One more time!!!

I can see many staunch republicans aligning with us when they finally see him as their leader.

Well, that is debatable. Your use of the word "person" implies he's not a reptilian (which has NOT
