No empathy. I've heard that twice today

about Shit Romney. Once from the candidate that ran against him for governor, and again on the embedded video in GD about how Mitt just didn't care what a lesbian seeking marriage equality should tell her (presumed adopted) daughter.

There he is in freaking white flannel pants and a blazer (Richie Rich?) knowing that he would never have to face death in Viet Nam with a big freaking smirk on his lily white face.

...and (some) can't/not able to understand how Repubs can be so uncaring.
Caring and justice is built into our whole psyche. It's who we are.

I think...a lot of Repubs don't care and sadly, it's not their fault.
It's who they are. They are whole or partly Sociopaths.

We can understand them but we still don't like them. They are detrimental to society.
