Many Republicans are looking for a reason not to vote for Romney...

Because he is a joke.

The Republican establishment understands this very well. That is why they have to keep preaching hatred for Obama. They want to keep all the focus away from Romney and on the President.

One of the worst things that could happen to the Romney campaign is for Romney to be ahead in the polls. That would give many voters a reason not to vote for their clown. It serves their purpose if the "evil" Obama is ahead in the polls and they don't have to think about Romney, the loser they have chosen to lead their Party.

I think humor and ridicule may be one of the strongest weapons for the Democrats this election. They should not hesitate to use it.

Romney?

He never has answered it. Wonder why. lol

Are you really suggesting that we should vote for a man who's sole work experience was to shut down businesses in the U.S. and ship those jobs to other countries for his own monetary gain, who is so callous that he put the family pet into a cage & strapped it to the top of his car for a very long trip, who believes it's ok to proxy-baptize someone who has died many, many years ago (ex: Anne Frank & Adolph Hitler) into becoming a Mormon regardless of what their remaining family members might think, and who believes that his underwear is magical and because he's wearing it no harm can come to him? Really? Really?

important to me, and I know my 4 friends really can't stand Rmoney so I keep workin' on them. I'm almost ashamed to say that I get a kick out of ridiculing Rmoney because he's just so damn easy. And besides, I love Michelle & Barack Obama. I think he could be a great President if he had just a little bit of compromising from the right-wing in Congress. They would rather see the entire country go to Hell than make Obama look good. I'm not especially intelligent, so I know if I can see what they're doing then so can the Repugs & they have to be just a little embarrassed by their stupid party. I get the feeling that Mr. Obama is going to get a lot of secret votes from the right because they are so concerned about how Mitt would run the country.

that Romney is the founding father of the insurance mandate.

Plus his company made millions of dollars tossing aborted fetuses into the woodchipper.
