No more than you “hate” Romney, actually not even close. I do not like Santorum due to his past record and his lack of honesty about it, which I have a right to point out. But I do not “hate” him.
On the other hand, you hate Romney, plain and simple, yet you condemn me for something you practice on a regular basis. I don't like Romney either, but we will likely be forced to vote for him if we like it or not. The alternative is far more dangerous and realistic than what Romney has been convicted of on this forum.
Projection, plain and simple. I merely despise him. It's his overlords I hate.

"We"? Who's "we", kemos sabay? You talking about your tapeworm?
That is never the case, in a country with free elections.
You keep telling us how levelheaded and logical, how married to reason you are -- and yet you are surrounded by a sea of unreasonable, emotive, half-insane people who actually disagree with you. You might want to re-examine that mode of engaging with the rest of FR.
Not if Republicans hold both houses of Congress.
Of course, we could be disappointed there, too -- by what GOP'ers typically do, cashing their chips for tax breaks for business.
But they'd do the same thing if Romney were in office, and Romney would make more bad Associate Justice appointments just like Bush 41 did. And when Romney moves the country to the Left, the congressional Pubbies will happily go along.
Then you'll have to explain to us how getting screwed by Boehner and McConnell's rolling over for Romney on judge nominations or treaty law or NWO agenda items is somehow preferable to their rolling over for Obama on the same issues.
