The USA Titanic

If Romney ever got the White House he would be like captain of the Titanic or the cruise ship captain who ran aground. What is worse he would crash the ship full speed ahead while standing in his personal life boat. He is a yellow bellied coward. Very unstable individually.

I find him even scarier than Bush. My sense of him turns my stomach more than any politician I have watched in my life. He makes Bush look good by comparison. He is really a squirrel.

How we each react to individual political entities differently. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich scare the hell out of me. I think they'd be the disaster in the White House. Ron Paul would end up ineffectual and isolated in the White house by Congress. Romney would be like being owned by big business.

Romney is a predator. That's what he did at Bain Capital -- preyed on businesses by laying off Americans, shipping jobs overseas and feasting on the profits.

You are right he is a predator. I see another side of him he is like a squirrel in that you do not know what he will say or do. In an international crisis he would be a real danger. Because he has no core and is a soulless suit he might do anything. He lies about everything. And he changes without warning. He is beyond desperate to be president. But it is only for himself and his ego and not for the benefit of the country.

He is like the Republican party in the way he is a predator. The GOP loves outsourcing. And they block every effort to end the tax rebate to companies who lay off Americans. They have also turned down initiatives to buy American. China benefits a lot from the kind of trade we give them. And they are creating a modern military to challenge us. The GOP has no trouble with helping by their economic policies. And the Democrats are too reluctant to end outsourcing tax rebate because they are afraid of all the corporate money waiting to be used against them if they appose outsourcing.
