Mitt's voice tone is tin-like and his inflection is so fake.

Fake, fake, fake. Sincerity, empathy, caring, and compassion --- all fake.

He hesitates too much. A sign that his thought process is muddled. He does not know what to say. He has no confidence in getting his points across and it shows when he attempts to respond to an average hard working American.

I liked my Light year toy, he sits on my desk at work.

consider voting for him. The Obama campaign has tag him a lier like the Rethugs did with Gore. The dude is the most dishonest person I have ever seen.

He simply sounds contemptuous of anyone to whom he's speaking, one on one or in a speech. He is a little dissociated, in his own head rather than with the person he's with, slightly irritable when asked anything directly. He doesn't seem to see any question as an invitation, but as a challenge. It's so strong it gets in the way of good judgment, as with that $10,000 bet with Perry. He's so shocked at being questioned that his mouth literally hangs open, then he shoots something off that's a poor attempt at humor or a slightly snarky counterattack.

Sociopath? No. But I do think he believes himself annointed and any indication to the contrary gets through the veneer he's trying to maintain of being anything other than just plain contemptuous of his "lessers", i.e. us.
