Remember the cliché that the presidential race is really about which candidate the American people would like to have a beer with? Well setting aside the issue that Romney doesn't drink beer, who would want to drink a beer with someone that lays off your father, has his vast fortune in the Cayman's or in Switzerland, wants to take away your Medicare, start another war in the middle east, ship your job to India or China, and lies about all of it?
Mitt Romney's constituency should be at 1-2%, not at 45-48%. He's not a right wing lunatic tea-partier, he's not Christian, he's not a religious fanatic, he's a very rich, pro-choice, moderate Republican that believes that the wealthy should be even wealthier, and the middle class and the poor should be poorer. He has no empathy for those Americans not as well off as his family.
The fact that his ratings are as high as they are is a miracle. The fact that he won the nomination is a testament to the crazy primary system; one that the few remaining normal Republicans that are qualified for the job can't or won't endure. Of course Romney won the nomination against Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum--could you put together a group of nutcases any worse than that if you tried? Well yes, you threw Sarah Palin in the mix. So no Republican should complain that Romney is a weak candidate, he's the strongest candidate of a sorry lot.
There's a good quote I found, ?The danger to America is not Mitt Romney, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Romney presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."
Paul Ryan summed it up well when he spoke about how the campaign is going for the Republican ticket when he stated, ?I have never seen this kind of enthusiasm.?
