Why Mitt Romney is unlikable

I just found a top ten list. Enjoy...
A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.
9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess
that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently,he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans.
My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

Pretty funny, but I vote based on a person's viewpoints, not what they wear, how they speak, whether they smoke or drink or any of that other nonsense besides the part about sticking with his wife. I definitely don't want scum in office.severed hand thirteen2006: Gorge 7/23 2008: Hartford 6/27 Beacon 7/1 2009: Spectrum 10/30-31

None of these are "real" reasons to vote for someone. You may as well make #11 you like his style in music and clothing and share common sports teams for rooting interest. In today's polarized society where political parties have turned into sports team vieing for anyways to win elections without having a real designated platform or long term ideology, it just becomes a dog and pony show for public relations and who "can play/act" the part" - but very little if any is based on anything intellectual, philosophical or thought provoking in any manner.CONservative governMENt

ever sense Bush "that I remember" it's been family values that was pitched to the American public now it seems that most people have thrown that aside just hoping for the best to happen so they can live in the world they want to believe in at least for 4 to 8 years..and some politions will sell their soul to get your vote.

Nonsense and campaign bs has always been some facet of elections, but I believe it was Ronald Reagan who was the first real "Public Relations candidate"... he was an actor you know. Things have drastically spiralled down since then for both parties and unfortunately the citizens haven't tried to alter it, but instead just participate (ie this thread).Godfather. wrote:ever sense Bush "that I remember" it's been family values that was pitched to the American public now it seems that most people have thrown that aside just hoping for the best to happen so they can live in the world they want to believe in at least for 4 to 8 years..and some politions will sell their soul to get your vote.

My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?

1. trump
2. bachmann
3. perry
4. cain
5. newt
6. santorum
and then finally
7. romney...
funny how your 7th choice is now your guy, because at one time each one of them was your guy
