A man who misrepresents his place of residence to qualify for public office is not a man of character; he is a fraud.
A man who finds pleasure or enrichment in others' misfortune is not a man of character; he is a psychopath.
A man who refuses to release his tax returns for fear of partisan criticism is not a man of character; he is a man who fears that those returns will reflect all too well his true character.
A man who criticizes a sitting Commander-in-Chief, during a riot abroad, for decisions he makes in the moment is not a man of character; he is a traitorous fool.
A man who brazenly disrespects the President of the United States before an audience of 70 million people is not a man of character; he is a man who by his conduct demonstrates that he is unfit to hold that office.
We have seen all these behaviors -- the bullying, cowardice, sadism, treachery, greed, hypocrisy, dishonesty, contempt, arrogance, elitism, cynicism, opportunism, hustling, deceit, lack of empathy, lack of patriotism, foolhardiness, disrespect, and more -- during this campaign. Taken together, they tell me Mitt Romney is undeserving of the presidency and unfit to serve in the office.
In people of character, I expect to see judgment, wisdom, and restraint. I expect empathy, reliability, honesty, genuineness, and trustworthiness. Sadly for him and for us, Mitt Romney has shown none of those qualities during his campaign for the presidency.
When I see Mitt Romney, I do not see a man of character; I see Richard Nixon.
