But he has no political convictions to speak of. In fact, he's not really a believer in politics at all.
He looks at government as another venue for his superb intellect and problem-solving skills.
People want abortions? Fine. People don't? Also fine. Health care? Get me the numbers, show me the assets and liabilities, we'll work something out.
He would be a catastrophe were he to be nominated as the GOP candidate for President, because he's not a good liar. When he got up and read his "conservative" lines (gotta do what you gotta do to pass the interview) his transparent phoniness would shine through.
But I don't like running him down as a man. He's a good neighbor in town here, he loves his family, and, at Treasury or the Fed (assuming it continues to exist) he would serve Madame President exceptionally well.
The problem is, he wouldn't care if the lady in question were SLP or HRC.
I've read JimRob say that Mitt isn't even a man.
I'm not that hard on him but don't fault anyone who is.
He is among the very worst politicians that ever lived and we have one here in Illinois who is going to give him a run for his money in that category. His name is Mark Kirk, "republican" Senator elect. One totally worthless ultra liberal P.O.S.
