it's about Mittens lying through his teeth.

very little mention of his marmentism, but I believe that is the crux of his personality (or lack thereof) disorder.

He believes the righteous are rewarded. Ipso facto.

And the righteous can do no wrong and therefore cannot feel remorse.

but the comments are all great. I recommend spending some time with them.

I think this is being taken out of context. He was saying that if a company (insurance, in his context,) isn't providing satisfactory service, you should be able to "fire" them and go to a different provider.

He's still a douche in oh so many other ways, though.

Narcissist or sociopath? Either way, someone I don't want as president. No empathy, no compassion. Is Mitt making mormons looks cruel and heartless?

One person's sociopath is another person's prophet (or maybe even president).

Starting with All, then moving to NYT Picks. Thanks for the tip.

"I like being able to fire people..."

DO you, Mitt? Well kumbaya for you, sport.

"No one man should have all that power." -Kanye West

From a comment by FatherforSam:

"The attitude he repeatedly displays is 'I know better than you, and I can make you do what I think is right for you.' It is pompous, arrogant, and very closed minded."

Yeah, Mittmo is not a product of Mormon-think at all. If he doesn't fulfill The White Horse prophecy, he's all spit-polished and ready for his closeup as one of TheBrethren, even The Quorom of the Twelve Apostles.

No I'm not a Mormon. In fact, I was raised and still call myself a Unitarian. Which is about as far from being Mormon as you can get I guess and still be considered a Protestant. But my religion has nothing to do with this incident. It was blown out of all proportion by several people holding Democratic allegiance but trying to pretend they were "independent." This will go down as the Swift Boating incident of the 2012 campaign. Even Phil Maxwell's brother Pete has called in question the statements made. Much ado about nothing in my opinion. When Jason Horowitz interviewed me, I could not even remember Jon Lauber. Only after all the details came out and I could recall how stupid he looked with his bleached hair did I remember the guy and the circumstances. The incident was a joke. And nothing more. That's why so many of us have forgetten in, Romney included. And why no one got into trouble for it. If it had been extreme bullying, or serious assault all hell would have broken loose I can assure you. Cranbrook was a pretty strict place. I know. I got into more than my share of trouble. But never got expelled as some of my good friends did.

That's very interesting. thanks for posting

What kind of a sociopath are you?

"Romney supporters have made a vague attempt to lump the hair-cutting incident in with Mitt’s long history of pranksterism. “You know, you hold the scissors close to his ear and you make a lot of snipping sounds, and you may traumatize the guy a little or scare the guy a little, but no harm, no foul,” Gregg Dearth, another Romney classmate, told ABC News."

Is Gregg Dearth a mormon?

Romney took a hunk of the victim's hair back to his room, so Dearth's comment sound like a step worse than Lying Politician. More like Lying Mormon Politician.

He kept a trophy? That takes it to a new level, imo. Serial killers LOVE to keep trophies of their "fun," and while Mitt is not a serial killer, he IS a serial offender.

(Not a phrase of my invention, saw it elsewhere.)

"Only after all the details came out and I could recall how stupid he looked with his bleached hair did I remember the guy and the circumstances. The incident was a joke. And nothing more. That's why so many of us have forgetten in, Romney included. And why no one got into trouble for it. If it had been extreme bullying, or serious assault all hell would have broken loose I can assure you. Cranbrook was a pretty strict place. I know. I got into more than my share of trouble. But never got expelled as some of my good friends did."

Assaults are often viewed differently by the perpetrators and their allies and the victim. Sexual harassment is often viewed by the harasser as "harmless", "flirting", or "joking". The person on the receiving end is not only supposed to accept the incident from the point of view of the perp but to discount his or her own feelings in order to placate the bully. Bullying and hazing have been accepted as "boys will be boys" behavior until relatively recently.

If it didn't happen, or wasn't significant, how can Romney be so certain that his motivation wasn't homophobia? He doesn't thing gay people should be treated equally before the law today. It's likely he felt the same way then and being young his impulse control was far less than it is now.

By the way, why doesn't he shave Anne's head? She uses bleach, too.

We should push her down and call her names and threaten to cut it off.

Just as a joke though.

It'll be harmless because of how stupid she looks.
