General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney is working his way into being the most hated man in America [View all]rather than being some kind of embodiment of Washington, or his former constituents, the embodiment of Wall Street, and all that that entails....everything done to maximize profit and minimize cost...arbitrary ethics and morals (especially in the name of profit)....going to extraordinary lengths to make oneself look good....egocentrism....little affect or empathy for others...
He actually scares the daylights out of me (probably because a lot of what is on the above list could be considered psychopathic). And I couldn't say that about W (or Cheney, really), or Reagan, or anyone else with an R behind their name. It's not the lies, the deceit or inability to own up to anything...it's the coldness...the hospital sterile inability to relate to anyone.
This is NOT what you want in a leader, particularly not a world leader. It's something you should run quickly from, as history shows....
