but their fiscal policies would've been totally different. Before Reagan, Republicans were okay with taxing millionaires higher and not cutting working class services. Even Eisenhower had a 90% tax rate for top earners, which is much higher than the Clinton-era rate that today's Republicans whine about Obama proposing.

Rmoney is at least smart enough to know all political positions at one time, and is able to jump around from stance to stance.

Palin couldn't even name a goddamn newspaper that she read.

He tells obvious lies, but people still most believe him. How can this man get the support of 49% of the USA? Are people really that dumb?

is a snake who is fundamentally dishonest and will be nothing but a corporate stooge.

One is hereditary, the other from brain damage. Both are upper class idiotic puppets, which is needed so they can be handled by the clever money guys, who stay hidden. They know what they can get Republicans to respond to ... clueless, self-centered, idiots.

four years of listening to him would be worse - at least Bush sounded folksy. I cannot stand R$s condescending, whiny type of talk.

Bush may have had disdain for the 47% but, I doubt he would ever voice that, probably not even behind closed doors. Laura is probably the only person he would have said anything to. Bush wanted to think he was a good person. Romney doesn't even care enough to want to be a good person. Money is his god. He really would let senior citizens starve to balance the budget. Bombs are more important to him than food for the poor.

... Romney is at least twice as sleazy as the Shrubster was, only half as dumb, yet even more disconnected from the American People.

Bush looks like a straight-shooting statesman compared to the con man that is Romney.

Romney, on the other hand, is clearly intelligent but uses that ability solely for personal gain, even if it comes at the expense of others. That's why he's despicable.

I don't know how he fits in here...
Cheney was pure evil - covertly and overtly.


Reagan and Romney seem similar to me.
Uncaring - callous - cold - personalities, but I wouldn't quite call them evil.


Bush: I can't read him. He was Cheney's puppet.

since I don't know him personally, but I hate him as a politician. There have never been a set of facts that he wouldn't bend, nor people he wouldn't try to deceive, in order to gain an edge regarding his political aspirations. He and the rest of his party are aware that their fiscal and social policies are antithetical to the interests of most Americans, so they lie to get more votes. It leaves no room in this country for an honest debate on the issues.
