Very interesting. I see parallels to Obama. Just as Romney struggled to apply his business experience to governing Mass, Obama has struggled to apply his Constitutional Law expertise since he has become President. Under Obama we now have an Exec branch with the following extended powers: * right to detain American citizens indefinitely w/o judicial oversight * right to assassinate American citizens indefinitely w/o judicial oversight * right to search American citizens and seize goods from them at any airport w/o a warrant * right to monitor, search and seize digital communications without a warrant * right to torture people named as enemy combatants both within our borders and outside them, without judicial oversight Hmm. I'd say I prefer Romney over Obama, but I'm just not sure we have any of the right candidates. On the right, we have people who loot the country and engage in massive foreign wars, squandering our wealth. On the left, we have Dictator wannabes who loot the country, bailout the banksters, and squander our wealth. Seems like we have no good leaders left in this country.
