Describe Mitt Romney without using crude words? That's pretty difficult.
Being a democrat, I would like it if he were the nominee. He would be easy to beat and the dems would coast into the white house.
If you are a Republican who wants a serious candidate, keep in mind that when he was running for Governor of a liberal democratic state, he was pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-immigration, and pro-universal health care. Now he is running in a republican primary where those positions are not politically convenient so within a year he became, anti-choice, anti-gay, pro-gun, anti-immigration, and anti-universal health care.
If that's not enough, he said that he wants to double the size of Guantanamo, a comment which made every serious Republican expert on military policy hide under a chair for a few hours.

The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.
We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

I agree with craig..he's a liar..not that all politicians arent...but i recall when he first announced he was gonna run...and went on george stephanopolis' show....and he did his first flip flops...he was sooooooooo gritting his teeth as he spoke
Frankly, I dont think he has a chance...though he's a great business success....he's a mormon...and most sects of xianity dont consider it a sect of xianity...and I thought republicans needed the backing of the religious right?
I know he'll never get that!

He's not a bad candidate, even though he lied about his hunting experience, and flip-flopped on some key social issues many times. Yet I do feel that all Mormons are stupid for believing in the garbage they believe in.
Oh, you're Mormon are ya? Sorry then, this is my opinion.

eh... I lean more to the dems... but I think he's going to have trouble in the south... as many there do see Mormons as some sort of sect, like it or not... and religion is a huge issue for them... and of course, it's the Republican base...
but personally, I like him better than some other candidates... he's still overboard on the war though if you ask me...

He's a governor and governors usually make better presidents than senators.
A senate has to compromise and play politics to get things done. He is a follower. He has to do what is politically popular.,
. . A governor will find himself on the hot seat sooner or later and will have to be a leader.

I have not seen much except negative coverage of him or his views to make a judgement yet. But him being Mormon would not affect my decision in the least! I support anyone with the ability to lead us in the right direction, Time will tell....

I'm not supporting him.
BUT he is a thousand times better person & leader than any of the Commie Democrats that are running.
And Romney loves America.
The Democrats running for president all hate America. Democrats want to turn the US into a Socialist/Communist State like North Korea.

I don't really have an opinion on him personally.
I consider myself to be more liberal than conservative, I'm gay, and I dont' think that Mitt shares the same views as myself.....I don't think he has my best interest at heart.
