    The man's opinions on any matter are irrelevant, because he will consult opinion polls and follow them. That is not necessarily a bad thing. We'd be better off if Bush did that. It would make us closer to really being a "Democracy".

    he's a economic genius and an experienced leader.

    Bullshit. He's a venture capitalist. VCs risk other people's money, and make out big if they get a hit. I've seen no indication that Romney can actually run a business, or that he had a higher proportion of hits than an average VC.

    As for being a "leader", give me a break. He was the governor of Taxachusetts, and his "accomplishments" there include standing by and doing squat while the Big Dig pissed away an incredible quantity of tax dollars.

    Hate the supporters all you want, but don't hate the man for a proper grasp on the Constitution.

    He's pro-life, but he's anti-Federal restriction. Would you rather have one Federal body deciding if it's right or not, or 50 states with different opinions on what is right? He has voted against Federal regulations and funding in this respect. Please educate yourself on these things before believing what you read on the Internet.

    To today's evangelical Christians, Unitarians and Deists might as well be Godless commies.
