Anyone notice Ted Cruz does this phony sincerity thing when he talks

[edhopper]

makes me want to hurl.

1. the man is a sociopath

they don't feel genuine emotion so they mimic - and Cruz, like Dubya, doesn't do it very well

[edhopper]

3. you're right

it's like he doesn't have real emotions and is trying to sound like he thinks it would if he did.

[tblue37]

8. He also always uses that fake praying-hands gesture as he talks. nt

[Javaman]

12. that's actually a psychopath...

sociopaths have a degree of empathy. fucked up, but empathy never the less.

I think cruz would score mid-range on the psychopathy check list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy_Checklist

and just as a rule of thumb, sociopath is nurture, psychopath is nature.

you a born a psychopath, sociopath is a developed trait.

I have said since the asshole was elected my states senator that he is a psychopath.

a common feeling most people have around psychopaths is that they are "creepy". Something just isn't right.

top ten careers of psychopaths...

2, 3, and 4 pretty much sum up cruz's career choice.

2. Biggest liar and phony ever.

Said he didn't wear his religion on his sleeve.---Lie

Said don't vote for anyone who claims to be anointed by God. ---Lie
His father screams about Ted's anointment regularly.

4. I find his hand gestures repulsive. Probably

because I imagine him having soft, clammy hands. Ugh.

[cheyanne]

5. He's the product of evangelical personality deformation.

He's been told that he is "called" so long that he doesn't even know what is a true emotion: there's the confusion between his role of "chosen by God" and his actual desires as a errant human being. When a person spends so much energy trying to repress his true self and . . .he is desperately trying to imitate these "emotions" that he's heard about . . .

you get a pathetic deluded human being.

6. Cruz is revolting

[Trenzalore]

7. Someone on MSNBC this morning said

He uses high school debate team techniques when speaking.

[pansypoo53219]

9. he's a televangelist.

[Dont call me Shirley]

10. He's a delusional preacher's son. What else could one expect from him?

[world wide wally]

11. On the bright eside:

I don't think America. Has gone down the tubes far enough (yet) to elect him.
