I do not hate anyone but I do not think Mr. Romney has any consideration or compassion for anyone not raised in his social and economic class. He also has demonstrated a bullying mean streak. I consider him to be a preppie jerk and not presidential material. His associates are completely unacceptable so I do not campaign for him nor will I vote for him.

If Obama was conservative and had some executive experience before he was elected, I would probably like him as president. Mrs Obama, eh, but I didn't like Nancy Reagan, either.

I'm to the left of liberals and I don't hate conservative Romney, liberal Romney, or moderate Romney. In all honesty, all three Romney's seem like ok people to me, but it's just an impression I really don't know him. He does seem dishonest and a stuffy, but most politicians are like that, so I'm not going to hold it against him.

So there is no hate, nor no love.

I hate that Romney BOUGHT the GOP nomination. Watching it go down like it did was shocking. I thought more people would see thru what was going on, it's sad that they didn't.

When Rommey first got in the race, I thought if he won ,it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But now I see he will be used as a puppet. He has flip flopped all over the place on key issues I care about. I don't hate him as a person, but some things have come out that do bother me about him. Holding down his classmate shows a side of him I don't care for.

It seems like the people who hate Romney are the Ron Paul fans, I doubt they are all liberal, sour grapes?

Not at all.

When it comes to family values, this is a guy who walks the walk. I respect him not only for that but also for not wearing it on his sleeve like so many of the conservative family values hypocrites who destroy their families by cheating, sending out lewd pictures of themselves etc.

I cannot empathize with him as a person, as he is someone who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and never had to want for anything. Sure I give him credit for being a shrewd businessman, but as someone who grew up well below the poverty line and made something of myself thanks to a good education, I do not think Romney understands those of us who grew up on the "wrong side of the tracks." He seems to me to be someone who can only represent the wealthy entitlement class, the type of person who gets into a liberal arts school based on "legacy" and their parents donating money.

.
Yes, Romney genuinely seems like a family oriented guy. Now I don't know him, but he seems sincere.

Unlike Palin he doesn't exploit his young children for his political gain. Sure he has his son campaigning, but his son is an adult who can make up his own mind, not some infant who is used as a prop to show what a great father he is.
