Is Hopeless Mitt Romney a Sociopath?

It’s another presidential election and once again the republican establishment is telling us who we really should want: Mitt Romney. This is the same establishment that gave us the previous losers, Bob Dole in 1996 and John McCain in 2008. Not suprisingly, both Bob Dole and John McCain are behind Mitt Romney this time.

Amazingly, Mitt Romney is even worse than either McCain or Dole. They both served in the military, while Romney hasn’t. Dole was dull, McCain was ornery, but Mitt Romney is outright loathesome. And while McCain and Dole were not great speakers, Romney is a robotic gaffe machine. Mitt Romney’s gaffes are not just absurd, like Joe Biden’s, either. His gaffes are downright nasty: “I like to fire people.” and “I’m not concerned about the very poor.”

Here’s a chilling thought. Maybe Mitt Romney’s gaffes aren’t really gaffes at all. Maybe those gaffes reflect a man who is truly out of touch, or maybe worse. Maybe deep down, Mitt Romney is really an unfeeling sociopath. After all, this is the same man who put his dog in an “air-tight” container on the roof of his car for a 12-hour drive. He is also the man who proudly declared that “corporations are people, my friend.”

There’s much more to support the sociopath theory. Mitt Romney’s flip-flops on issues are legendary, even among politicians. It isn’t just that Mitt flip-flops, but that he does it with utmost conviction–without thinking or caring what the consequences are. In fact, he seldom considers the consequences of anything that he does.

In this election cycle, Mitt Romney has created huge attack ad campaigns filled with lies and character smears. He dragged out former colleagues of Newt Gingrich to trash him. Before the South Carolina primary, Romney backer Matt Drudge broke the phony story that Newt Gingrich asked his ex-wife for an “open marriage.” Before the Florida primary, Matt Drudge and the National Review screamed bald-faced lies, echoing the Mitt Romney ads that claimed Newt Gingrich had opposed Ronald Reagan.

It was around that time that I realized that Mitt Romney had been behind the parade of countless women and sex lies that were brought out to smear former, front-runner Herman Cain. The fingerprints matched. Who else would do such a thing?

Campaign ads from Mitt Romney have been close to 99% negative. Voter participation has dropped and most of the conservative base now hates Mitt. He hasn’t yet considered the consequences of all this in the general election. He always assumed that he would pay off who he has to when he gets there.

That’s how Mitt Romney lives. His company, Bain Capital, bought out Clear Channel so that now he literally owns the conservative talk radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc. He paid for endorsements from TEA Party candidates, like Christine O’Donnell and Nikki Haley, through campaign contributions.

It seems reasonable to conclude that he paid off Ann Coulter and many others in the press to lie for him, as well. Never before have we heard so many lies and smears.

So goes the mind of a sociopath. He believes that he can do whatever he wants without consequence. It’s not surprising, then, that in this election cycle, the cliche has become reality: This really is the most negative campaign ever.

This is Mitt Romney; he will say anything to win. He doesn’t just lie, he does so with absolute insistence. Words like “never” and “always” are used frequently, along with tones of strong indignation–the bigger the lie, the stronger the indignation. How dare anyone doubt him?

Finally, the true mark of a sociopath is his belief that commonly accepted rules don’t apply to him. Nowhere was this more apparent than when Mitt had his interview with Brett Baier on Fox News. Brett is as mild as they come, but Mitt Romney became extremely testy over common questions on immigration and health care. At the end of the interview (see the video), Mitt Romney complained that the interview was “overly aggressive” and “uncalled for.” And this was Republican-friendly Fox News.
