Never watches any political shows whatsoever. He has a deep dislike for politics. Never watches political shows or speeches. So naturally I never bring the subject up.
Today he brought it up one time. Out of the blue he brought it up. He said, "You know that Romney guy?" I answered sure I know who he is. He went on to say. "If he were forced to make a list of ten people in this world I hated the most, Romney would be number one right at the top of the list." That is what he said.
I asked him why? He said "It was because of Romey's attitude about the poor. Made him sick to think someone like this could even be running for president."
My friend who told me this today is not poor by the way.
Just out of the blue. Strange, huh?

(55,981 posts)idiot. A lot of Americans could associate with him. But Romney is the epitome of the handsome, smiley, fast talkin', flim-flam man. And he is not a Christian in the eyes of many.
