(20,885 posts)But I'll agree that Romney is the worst yet. They'll have to dig down to an Imhoff, Gohmert, or an Aikin to beat Mitt. And ... they will!

(21,925 posts)He hasn't earned the level of hatred I had for Bush yet, but Romney registers even higher on my disgust-o-meter. I can't stand the sound of Romney's voice any more. It drives me up the wall, as it's painful to my ears.

(2,117 posts)The only other very bad ones on the same level I could possibly imagine are Todd Akin (ignorant buffoon), Eric Cantor (obstructionist), John Boehner (obstructionist and self-tan abuser), Sean Hannity (ignorant and conservative to the point of fascism), Ann Coulter (conservative dramatic), Rick Santorum (overly zealous about his personal religious beliefs), Paul Ryan (terribly misguided economically), Parah Salin (complete joke), Dick Cheney (already served as president for 8 years and failed) , and Mitch McConnell (corrupt scumbag). Maybe I am missing a few. Romney is a corporatist, he's unconcerned with/ignorant towards lives of the common people, a liar, and a hypocrite, among many other things. He's the perfect embodiment of why I hate the Republican party.

I think Romney is the culmination of most of the problems of the Republican party. To me, he seems to be every negative aspect of their party rolled into one scumbag. I'd like for someone to do an in-depth contrast between Barack Obama's idea of economic patriotism and Mitt Romney's economic actions throughout his life.
