Do not vote for this man.

Here’s something I’ve been mulling over for a while.

I have a hard time imagining ever voting for Mitt Romney. 

I find him to be untrustworthy. I’ve had this feeling about him for maybe a year or two. How long has he been running for president?

It’s not just the “flip-flop” on positions. And it’s not just the “lying” or offering misleading information. It’s more basic than that. The man seems disingenuous. He does not seem honest or true or upright. When I watch him speak, I feel that he isn’t being true to himself. I don’t believe him, because he doesn’t seem to believe himself. He doesn’t seem to be himself, he doesn’t ever seem comfortable.

It’s like he’s not just being there, in the moment, speaking, like a person does. It’s more like he’s watching himself and reacting to himself and controlling himself based on what he sees himself doing. I find that disturbing.

And I’m surprised that I haven’t heard this from anyone else. I suppose this is what other people have referred to as Romney’s robotic quality. But I don’t think of it as a robot thing. It’s more of a lack of comfort with one’s self. I’ve known other people like that, and I find them disturbing.

Even if I were a conservative—which is just impossible to imagine—I think I would feel the same way about him. Of course, maybe if I were a conservative I wouldn’t care about that kind of stuff. Maybe the party platform, etc., would be more important. I don’t know. I really have a hard time understanding conservatives. It’s like crazy-talk to me.
