I'm so disgusted with Romney. There's a fair amount of dodgery involved with any politician answering questions, but Romney uses these plain questions about science and technology as springboards to criticize unions, immigration and other far tangential topics. It's obvious that he's merely pandering to his base so he can get himself elected.

Worst is regarding climate change, where he said, "there remains a lack of scientific consensus on the issue." Wrong, wrong, wrong. Then he tries to shift blame to China anyway. What a slimeball. I can only conclude that he doesn't know jack about science and technology, or he knows some things but lies about it anyway. Neither is acceptable. I expect more of a leader.

Ya, his comment about a 'lack of a scientific consensus' infuriated me.
