ROMNEY IS A SOCIOPATH

[Rune]

So much is unfolding over Mitt Romney and it is not good. Mitt and Ann Romney are predators, as well as full-blown sociopaths :A person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. Being deacon in the Mormon Church and its number one personality, has not seemed to raise the voices—audibly and publicly—of fellow church members over their top two senior perverts as they travel across the country lying about themselves and others.


Ann recently came out saying that “you people” don’t need to know more about our tax returns. No Ann, we don’t? Ann, you and your husband want to move into the White House and run the country. Mitt has said nothing about how he would do it other than to slash and burn during his first week as president, and create a Scorched Earth-style administrative agenda that would hurt the 99% and reward the 1%. And, he keeps telling us to ‘trust him’ because he was a successful businessman, and that he knows just how to run the country---predator style.


What Mitt and Ann know how to do best is lie, and fake it. They got rich by being destroyers. As the owner, president, CEO, and chairman of Bain Capital Investment and LLC, as well as sole stockholder, they bought wounded American companies and “Zombied” them to death by sucking the life and soul out of them, firing workers, selling off assets, bankrupting the businesses, and writing off the debts, while earning big fat fees and profits for themselves.


What the Romneys did with their new found gains by writing off these dead companies, and selling off the assets was to invest in offshore accounts located in tax havens, and Swiss bank accounts pretending to be “foreigners” (investment information was never sent back to the home country) so as to avoid the heavier tax burden found in the United States. In addition, they found ways to avoid U.S. taxes, such as saying their horse was a medical expense for his wife, which amounted to around $7000.00!


Such antics can only be done by the billionaires, of which the Romneys are a club member. They are the ultra-elite. They aren’t just elitists, which their ilk label Democrats as being, but are in actuality—super elitists. They refer to the hardworking, everyday folks as “YOU PEOPLE”. They are bigots of the “every-person”.


The Romneys don’t want any exposure of their predatory behavior as owners of Bain Capital, or of their secretive tax returns. They cover up the truth by lying.


Mitt appears to have faked and lied about exactly when he stopped running, advising, signing off on documents, ruling, and approving decisions made at Bain while away in Utah playing chief for the U.S. Olympic Committee, and while prepping for his run to the Massachusetts Governor’s mansion. The SEC seems to be interested in these documents, as well, since he said he had “retired” from Bain in 1999, but documents prove otherwise showing he was directly involved into 2001 and 2002.


The Romneys have stated that, yes, they are millionaires, but their publicly suppressed tax returns might show that they are really billionaires, who may have found sweet tax loopholes to squeeze into, and lower tax rates to latch on to.


Did they ever pay zero taxes? Did they work out a tax rate below 10%? Were they serious tax avoiders?


Do Americans want such a person as their president? Do Americans feel that since they must pay taxes on income that cannot be sheltered, or moved offshore, that millionaires and billionaires should, at the very least, pay the same tax rates as they do, or even more? I know they do!!


Do Americans believe, that at the very least, a presidential contender needs to reveal fully transparent tax returns? I am sure they do.


Sleazegate Romney has shown to be King Midas sitting on his piles of gold, while the rest of us see him as the wannabe emperor with no clothes.


Sleazegate Romney doesn’t take responsibility for anything! He deflects. In this regard, he is like LilboyBush, who when asked if he would have done anything differently during his 8-years, he couldn’t think of a single fucked over and failed decision to reverse. Not even to turn right-side-up the book, My Pet Goat, as 9/11 was taking place, while he sat dumbfounded in that kindergarten classroom.


All LilboyBush as to say about his presidency was that it was “awesome, and powerful”. How pitiful!


Romney has the gall to go after Obama’s youthful indiscretions as a high schooler and college student, yet Sleazegate Romney fails to understand that his vicious bullying, while a college student makes his pot just as black as the kettle. This further validates that Romney is a pervert and sociopath. His bullying and meanness harmed others and left those individuals involved regretting their contribution as Romney accomplices. Whatever drugs Obama smoked did not affect anyone but himself. Romney is just too disturbed and dysfunctional to get it.


Romney believes that college is out there for ya’ to grab hold of. All you have to do is borrow from your parents, even if your parents are struggling as a result of a poor economy, unemployment, outsourcing, and the actions of the GOP and complicit Democrats. Not every American can attend college on Daddy’s dollar like Willard Mitt Romney was able to do. Sleazegate Romney has no compassion, or understanding, or empathy because he IS a sociopath.


If Romney’s premise is that the rich need socialism in the form of the lowest tax rates in history (don’t forget government contracts) in order to become “job creators”, then why did Romney send his wealth offshore creating even more personal wealth and not keep it in the United States to be used to create jobs? It is because he doesn’t believe that lower tax rates create jobs. On the contrary, the facts show that higher tax rates do create millions of new jobs, and not the reverse.


Romney may be a billionaire with multiple homes and a Cadillac in every garage, but as a human being he is incompetent!

Mitt Romney bullied a gay boy by having five fellow bullies hold him down and Mitt Romney cut off his hair, laughing at the boy.

Mitt Romney coaxed an almost blind teacher to walk into a door and Mitt Romney giggled hysterically, again getting great delight in preying on a vulnerable person. “…Romney opened a first set of doors for Wonnberger (a teacher), but then at the next step with other students around, he swept his hand forward, bidding the teacher into a closed door. Wonnberger walked right into it (the door) and Getsinger said Romney giggled hysterically as the teacher shrugged it off as another of life’s indignities.” (source: Washington Post)

Mitt Romney and his friends (aka: ‘gang’) lured students from the University of California into a trap where they “shaved their heads and painted them red”. (source: Politicker) Again, no expressions of remorse from Romney for the possibly lifelong damage he did to others. Romney said “It was wrong, they just can’t look like that” (the kids were guilty according to Romney for simply having longer hair). Romney’s intolerance isn’t just a boyhood trait because he has the identical feelings today toward gays, the poor and others he ‘feels’ doesn’t fit his warped mold.

When Mitt Romney was a bishop in his church while in Boston he counseled a young woman who was pregnant and he told her to keep the fetus even though the pregnant girl had a 50% chance of dying if she kept it. When questioned, Romney said he wasn’t worried about her. Mitt Romney said, “As your bishop,” she said he told her, “My concern is with the child.” The woman wrote, “Here I-a baptised, endowed, dedicated worker, and tithe-payer in the church-lay helpless, hurt, and frightened, trying to maintain my psychological equilibrium, and his (Romney’s) concern was for the eight-week possibiliy in my uterus-not for me!” (source: Vanity Fair)

Mitt Romney went on a family vacation and put the family dog on top of his car for 12 hours, even though the dog was sick and the Romney kids saw feces running down the back window. Neither Mitt, Ann or their five sons had any empathy for the dog or demand that Shamus be put in the cabin of the car. There was a total lack of any compassion from anyone in the Romney family.

Mitt Romney, with no prompts, told what he said was a ‘hilarious’ story about his dad closing down a plant and firing workers in Michigan and joking about how a band kept playing On Wisconsin (where the Romney-fired workers were from) to the cegrin of the political operatives of Romney’s dad. Romney laughed all through the story not once expressing any concern for the people his father fired and the devastation caused to the fired workers and their families.

Later Mitt Romney preyed on companies, fired workers, gutted company resources, shipped jobs overseas (Bain Capital later even fired American’s who made the Etch a Sketch in the US and had the work down by virtual slaves overseas). Romney at Bain showed zero regard for the feelings of those he was hurting or destroying their lives. He even bragged during the campaign saying “I like firing people”. What normal human being ‘likes’ firing people and disrupting or destroying their lives? Romney does. Romney claims he owes all of his monetary ‘success’ to himself, but doesn’t tell others how Bain was bailed out by government money and without that bailout Bain would have collapsed and Romney would probably be squeegeeing windshields on street corners, if he could figure out how.

When Romney was questioned about how he treated his family dog he laughed and showed zero signs of regret. He further said he didn’t know it was against the law to carry a dog on top of a car. He thought it was okay to just hose off the dog and then put it back onto the roof of the car wet from being hosed down. The poor dog was wet, lonely and sick but not one Romney, including Mitt, Ann or their five sons had any regard for the dog they were abusing.

When Romney was questioned about his brutal attack against a gay student he again laughed his familiar laugh while first saying he couldn’t remember his brutality, but he could remember that he didn’t attack the vulnerable boy because he was gay. If Romney couldn’t remember the story then how could he know he didn’t attack the gay boy?

Romney recently (May 2012) said he apologized ‘IF’ he caused any harm, but anytime someone uses the word ‘IF’ when apologizing it’s not a real apology, and especially if while he is apologizing he is laughing the entire time like it was a big joke. It’s like someone saying “I’m sorry if I hurt you while cutting off your arm”.
Romney’s reactions to how he treats other human beings has been constant through his life. He has no understanding of how his actions hurt or destroy other people. He doesn’t care about them. And his laughter further reinforces how his actions are those of a sociopath. Romney lacks any ability to feel how another human being he hurt feels. If he can profit off of the vulnerable he will do it. Just a couple of weeks ago he selected Paul Ryan to be his running mate and Ryan has such little regard for other human beings nuns and bishops in his own church are condemning his plans to gut programs that help the most vulnerable while giving huge tax cuts to the most powerful. It’s obvious Ryan knows nothing of Jesus’ teachings and is nothing but a political prostitute for his wealthy pimps.

Romney’s campaign is based on stripping help from the most vulnerable people in society and giving huge tax breaks to the extremely rich. He said he “isn’t worried about the poor” because there are already safety nets in place for them, but Romney and republicans want to eliminate all the assistance to the most vulnerable in society while giving the wealthiest even more money, effectively taking from the poor and giving to the rich. Again, only a sociopath could be motivated by hurting the weakest and most vulnerable while siding with the most powerful, but Romney has been consistent all through his life, showing zero regard for the vulnerable. He not only has zero regard for the most vulnerable, Romney laughs at their plight, just as he laughed at how he abused his dog and his fellow student.

I don’t have to go far to understand how bullies act. My older brother is a sociopath with zero regard for how much he hurts others. When I was 12 my older brother deliberately hit me in the head with a bat as hard as he could to try to kill me and I ended up in the hospital with a severe concussion and had blood in my spinal fluid. Another abuse was when my older brother and his friend said they would help me release my pet homing pigeons into the wild because I was no longer allowed to keep them. When we arrived at a remote place to release my pigeons I was horrified when my older brother and his friend both pulled out rifles and began shooting my pigeons while they were in the cage. They slaughtered all of the pigeons and couldn’t care less about killing defenseless animals or the emotional toll on me. I was crying and pleading with them to stop but they kept firing their rifles. I’m sure they felt just like Romney felt when Romney had a defenseless boy on the ground and laughed as he cut off the boy’s hair because he was gay. Of course, my older and abusive brother couldn’t care less about my Mom, Dad and my little brother Jody when they became sick and later passed away. I was their caregiver while my older brother ignored them and pursued his lust for money. He is a conservative and a self-professed ‘christian’. My older sister is also abusive and has done horrific things to me and many others and she is also a conservative and claims to be ‘christian’. Both pray, while they prey on others, just like Mitt Romney has done throughout his life.

Romney is not only a bully, he’s a pathological liar as well, saying anything at a whim without even caring if he’s telling the truth or not. He’s flip-flopped on countless issues knowing most of his ignorant base will vote for him regardless of what kind of person he is and how much he lies or bears false witness against his neighbors. Sadly, the people who will vote for him won’t care about how he treats his fellow man, his lies and his complete lack of empathy and compassion. Those are positive attributes to ‘Christian’ republicans.

They will vote for Romney just because he is a republican and because Romney has vowed to use the office of the presidency to hurt the most vulnerable people in society. It’s truly sickening how those professing to be followers of Jesus would even consider voting for a sociopath like Romney, but sadly, conservative extremists are filled with hatred, racism, rage and ignorance because they get all their information from talk radio and Fox News.

Every right wing talk radio host I’ve ever heard, like Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Beck and the rest are making fortunes peddling hatred, lies, fear and racism. Every one I’ve heard bears false witness against their neighbors while their listeners lap up their every word as the gospel without questioning what they are hearing and certainly without doing fact checks of the things they are filling their minds with. All right wing radio hosts claim to be Christians, but their entire shows are filled with lying about their neighbors and spreading hatred, division, racism and anger. Jesus wouldn’t condone anything they do and would condemn them for how they are spreading hatred to people who are filled with hatred of the poor, the vulnerable and the sick. They eagerly listen because dishonest talk show hosts exploit their primal fears easily manipulating them to support the very people who seek to destroy them, the wealthiest people in the country. Both groups share one trait and that is greed. And from that greed and selfishness, talk show listeners busily make nooses from the rope they are being given totally oblivious that they will be hung from the nooses they are making.

Hardly a day goes by without a new Mitt Romney lie. Despite being surrounded by media, despite every quote being saved for posterity on YouTube and in cyberspace, the Romney of tomorrow may bear little, if any, resemblance to the Romney of today. In this week’s Time Magazine, contributor, Justin Frank, M.D., weighed in on Mitt Romney’s chronic lying.
Two months ago, Gulag Bound catalogued some of Romney’s lies. That was two months ago, two months in which Romney has had multiple daily appearances and multiple opportunities to lie.

Most recently, he argued that Wisconsin’s Scott Walker’s ability to keep his job was all the proof we needed that the American people wanted fewer teachers/fire fighters/police. Then when called on it, he first denied ever saying it, and then told another lie. “That’s a very strange accusation,” Romney said, “Of course, teachers and firemen and policemen are hired at the local level and also by states. The federal government doesn’t pay for teachers, firefighters or policemen. So obviously that’s completely absurd. He’s (Obama) got a new idea, though, and that is to have another stimulus and to have the federal government send money to try and bail out cities and states. It didn’t work the first time. It certainly wouldn’t work the second time.”
The truth is, teachers, fire fighters and police officers do rely on federal funds, as do the states, especially and disproportionately, Republican states.

Just yesterday, Romney profiled a furniture company that is being forced to close. He blames “Obamacare.” The problem with that accusation is that the Affordable Healthcare Act has not yet been implemented. That’s about two years away. In fact, the company itself debunked Romney’s lie, saying the reason for the closure was lack of demand, which happens when people like government employees are laid off.

In Dr. Frank’s Time Magazine profile, he showcased another example where the source itself exposed Romney’s lie. In another attack on “Obamacare,” Romney held up a book called The Escape Artists by Noam Scheiber of the New Republic. The candidate claimed the book said that Obama knew that Obamacare would slow down the economic recovery, but didn’t care. This, of course, is just another bald faced lie. As the author himself pointed out, the book said no such thing.

This is the definition of a Sociopath.

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Well he did bully that guy in high school and then there was that $10K bet he tried to make and of course he can't open his mouth without insulting someone.

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

All through this campaign this has been a major issue. Mitt can't open his mouth without lying.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Bain Capital and Seamus, 'nuff said...

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

"My staff members sister's dog accidentally deleted all those crucial records from the Olympics and every single bad investment that people might not like was done by a person who used to work for me a few months after I left Bain in 1999. No really, I did. Why are you all rolling your eyes. I told you I retroactively retired. If the paperwork didn't get filed, blame human resources."

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Well there was that smirk...

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Mitt's critics and even his supporters often describe him as robotlike. For more on the subject check out Hunter's excellent Diary series.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

This one really strikes me as going right to the core of Mitt. He honestly thinks he's the coolest, smartest guy in the room. Every single time. He also clearly gets his way time and time and time again. For example, he apparently got Paul Ryan over the objections of his campaign staff.I could go on and on quoting from this article, but fair use is fair use. Mitt doesn't fit every description, but he also is a practicing Mormon, so issues with drugs and promiscuity aren't really expected either.
I will close with these final traits from the "other related qualities" section and let you make your own judgment...

12. Incapable of real human attachment to another
13. Unable to feel remorse or guilt
14. Extreme narcissism and grandiose
15. May state readily that their goal is to rule the world

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 16, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Michigan's and America's top trial attorney, Geoffrey Fieger of Fieger Law, P.C. has launched a second politically charged commercial. This time Fieger has set his sights on Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney; divulging a physical attack in which a group led by Romney restrained and cut off another's hair.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please clickhttp://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...162282686.html
In the wake of Fieger's recent controversial commercial that criticized those in opposition ofPresident Obama being covert racists, it appears that Fieger has now taken aim against Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.
"We've now learned that a then 18 year old Mitt Romney lead a gang of bullies who attacked another student and held him down while Romney cut off his hair," said Fieger.

Romney has expressed to Americans that he doesn't remember doing it. Fieger, who is a lifelong resident of Michigan and victim of that same abuse, knows all too well how traumatic such an incident can be and is calling out Romney's obvious bluff and intent to deceive the American People.
"The other perpetrators have all confessed that the event has haunted them for years; but not our Mitt. Anyone who claims they don't remember physically attacking someone is either a sociopath or a liar; or both," proclaimed Fieger.

Recounting the personal memory, Fieger stated, "When I was 14 years old, two adult sadists at the Detroit Country Day School held me down and shaved my head because they didn't like long hair on boys. The memory of that abuse is burned into my mind."
Leading by his motto, "If you don't stand for something, you end up standing for nothing," Fieger launched a website in support of these commercials titled "In My America" which is dedicated to the little guy and the American people. People from across the nation have visited the website, Fieger Law's Facebook Page, and Twitter (#inmyamerica), to view and comment on the videos, including the Mitt commercial; sharing their intense opinions and beliefs.
Many have firmly supported, opposed, and questioned Fieger's agenda, including Local 4 News in Michigan who recently interviewed him regarding his "Honesty on Racism" video, declaring that it appears that he's supporting President Barack Obama and the Presidential Election of 2012.
Passionate in everything he does, Fieger appears to be standing up for what he believes in; and he isn't afraid to voice the "truth." He's set records in the court room and was recently nominated as "Leader in the Law" for 2012 by the Michigan Lawyers Weekly. He's urging people to see and understand what's right in front of them and asking, "What's worth fighting for in your America?"

10 signs for spotting a sociopath

#1) Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths have high charisma and tend to attract a following just because people want to be around them. They have a "glow" about them that attracts people who typically seek guidance or direction. They often appear to be sexy or have a strong sexual attraction. Not all sexy people are sociopaths, obviously, but watch out for over-the-top sexual appetites and weird fetishes.

#2) Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky.

#3) Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others.

#4) Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, but when they describe it to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it sounds believable at the time.

#5) Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.

#6) Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent, but they use their brainpower to deceive others rather than empower them. Their high IQs often makes them dangerous. This is why many of the best-known serial killers who successfully evaded law enforcement were sociopaths.

#7) Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don't actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do.

#8) Sociopaths speak poetically. They are master wordsmiths, able to deliver a running "stream of consciousness" monologue that is both intriguing and hypnotic. They are expert storytellers and even poets. As a great example of this in action, watch this interview of Charles Manson:


#9) Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.

#10) Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it! Charles Manson, the sociopathic murderer, is famous for saying, "I've never killed anyone! I don't need to kill anyone! I THINK it! I have it HERE! (Pointing to his temple.) I don't need to live in this physical realm..."
