Showing Original Post only (View all)What is your most basic, visceral gut feeling about Mitt Romney? [View all]
What emotion does he provoke in you? I'm curious, since I realized today that I had a different emotional response to each of the three main Republican primary candidates.
Newt Gingrich inspired hatred--every time the man spoke it made me want to kick him in the balls for being such a lying bastard. Rick Santorum disturbed me, mostly in that somebody that crazy could actually get people to vote for him.
But my most basic reaction to Mitt Romney is basically contempt. He knows nothing, stands for nothing, and thinks he's suited to the hardest job on the planet even though he hasn't the first clue about the real world.
What about the rest of you?

Phony. He will tie himself in knots trying to 'say' or 'act' in the way you want.
