I was really hoping Cain was the real deal. I always said (here) that Romney was the worst candidate the Republicans could represent themselves with. But that was because up until the last few months Newt (before Cain resigned) was not even a possibility. Now I got two 'worst' to live with.
I don't at all like what we are left with to pick from the R party to go against Obama. But to me Newt and Romney are the the same, completely dishonest, unethical and downright immoral
Newt playing the Romney killer does nothing for me if it gets him the nomination. We live in terrible times.
Like you, I’m not happy with the current field of candidates. Romney has no core values, though. I absolutely don’t like that in a person, much less a candidate.
Newt, for all of his flaws, was my last “go to” guy. He’s certainly stirred things up, and is rising in the SC polls.
Newt spent most of his candidacy and the debates going after Obama and the media, and not attacking his fellow candidates. Romney’s guys made a huge mistake in Iowa, though. Spending that kind of money on all of those horrible attack ads against Newt was a recipe for disaster.
People defending Romney’s business practices don’t sway me at all. It was all about getting the “right economics” for Bain and to heck with everything else.
I have no respect for them, or for him.
