Romney only wants to BE president

just like he only wanted to BE governor as a stepping stone to the WH. He doesn't want to be the person or do the things that will help the middle class and most of all he doesn't know HOW. His ideas may be good ones for vulture capitalism but running the government is absolutely nothing like running a corporation. You have to lead, not deceive and not talk and bully your way into changing things for YOUR benefit. This is all Romney knows how to do!

He wants the office of the President of the United States for his resume and vitae. He does not care to be bothered with the day to day details of actually running a country.

It's really sad when some rich bastard can't just find a hobby that he likes and "get out of the way" of the people who are truly interested in solving the problems in this country.

It's just another conquest for him like buying a company and running it broke.

Romney has no core convictions--other than the rich shouldn't pay taxes.

Romney just wants to be the "boss" of the U.S.. Then he'll make all his underlings do the work.

He is a psychopath that if not for being so well known would probably be a serial killer. The reason he wants to be president is because he feels entitled to it. This scum has no idea on what it takes to be president and frankly doesn't give a fuck. He is surrounded by the same evil neo-con vomit whose sole purpose in life is to afflict pain on those who are not wealthy and powerful. Don't be deceived into thinking this garbage of a person will be a moderate because he wont. One his goal of reaching the presidency has been accomplished the insane asylum will be set free accompanied by the privatization of social security, destruction of medicare, more tax cuts for the oligarchs, deregulations and a rollback on social progress. His level of dishonestly and contempt of facts is enough of an indicator to drive a rational person to realize his heinous intentions.
