Do you see Mitt Romney as almost the Republican version of John Kerry?

Full disclosure; as if most of you reading this didn’t already know I am a vehement democrat and a liberal (not extreme liberal, but definitely liberal).

I was thinking about it the other night, and I believe Mitt Romney is the Republican version of John Kerry. Back in 2004, I didn’t vote for John Kerry. I thought he was weak, changed his opinions on issues to suit the crowd he was talking too, was wealthy and never really knew the trouble that regular people were facing, etc, etc….. It occurred to me last night that many of these are the same criticisms leveled against Mitt Romney today.

Sure, they both carry their party’s flag well enough.. But when you heard them talk it was hard to believe anything they said. They both wreaked of career politician (which say what you will about Bush or Obama, they don’t have that same stench, I know the things they both stand for). They both give me the vibe of a used car salesman.. just telling me exactly what I want to hear.

Has anyone else felt this way?
