Passing this along just as it was sent to me, with no further comment except to say that #4 should say just "southern preacher" IMO.

Why Mitt Romney is Unlikable! ................................

A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why. So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."

Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:

1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.

3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)

4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.

5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.

6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?

7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!

8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America's scorn.

9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.

10. And one more point...pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you unrelatable to Americans.

Perfectly explained! What puzzles me is when he was our Governor in Massachusetts most people liked him (except for the ones that are similar to the ones NOW that don't like him) and he was a great Governor I might add. So basically, it's all about JEALOUSY!

You are totally naive and blindly biased toward the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee if your view is "The Romney's obviously have morals".

I don't not know about their morals and neither do you.

Talk to a John Edwards supporter.

(If anyone else is reading, this kind of frivolous judgement is the perfect example of folks supporting candidates for reasons they have manufactured in their own minds.)

Mitt Romney has made very heavy use of the paper shredder after leaving various significant positions in his career. A lot of paperwork seemed to disappear after the Salt Lake City Olympics. http://www.govexec.com/management/20...parency/56964/

"When Mitt Romney left Bain Capital to take control of the Salt Lake City Olympics in 1999, he promised “complete transparency.” But reporters and public officials say they were denied access to certain documents, and archivists allege that many of the Games’ key records were destroyed shortly after the they ended, reports The Boston Globe.

Romney and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee had no legal obligation to either preserve key records or make them public since the Games were organized by a private, nonprofit corporation that was exempt from public records laws." quote from linked govexec.com article above.

I am not saying though that much of President Obama's life was transparent.

When Governor Mitt Romney left office, his approval rating was 34% much as it is today in Massachusetts. This is a number comparable to Governor Rick Scott's approval rate. The Romney campaign is not even competing in his home state.

I wish when some present "findings" it would be helpful to also make your point....what ever it may be. I understand why ambiguity is a blessing in most cases and in others there just must not be a point....just regurgitating or parroting.

Don't care. Did he do anything illegal? DID HE GET THE JOB DONE?
