Before I begin my post there is a bit of bitching that I need to get off my chest……I watched the recent Halperin interview with Mitt Romney….made me want to puke!  There was nothing substantive about the interview….it was loaded with softball questions and Mitt was NEVER pressed to clarify a position or statement….this was typical of most MSM interview of ALL candidates…they are so afraid that they will piss the person off and that they will never get another chance so they just throw out lousy, uninformative questions……the pundits within the MSM detest bloggers….and with good reason….we can ask the important questions and then let fly with an opinion that is not shaded by fear……I read a lot of blogs and have found that these people are far more probing and informative than any on the MSM side of the equation……..

Now with that said I will move on to my subject….one Mitt Romney…..the presumptive nominee of the GOP to meet Pres. Obama in the Fall.

My personal opinion is that Mitt is an empty suit that will say whatever he has to for a momentary boost……we all know of his lies….(MSM calls it flip-flopping)…..he changes positions depending on when and who he is talking to…..he said let Detroit go bankrupt and then it was his idea that saved it…..his most infamous one……when he speaks he looks disingenuous and stiff………he never talks about being a governor but yet everyone wants to call him gov….why?  He hates Obamacare but it was his basic idea….along with the GOP in the 90’s……..

What could make a candidate to say such things and then pass them off as empathy for the mere morals he is speaking to at any given event?  His new educational policies are those of Bush and Obama….yet he spouts them as if they are something new….a political epiphany, if you will………what could possible explain what Mitt is doing?

My friends at Nomadic Politics have the answer…….

While pathological lying is not formally considered a mental illness by psychologists, it is considered a symptom of other disorders. The Mayo Clinic categorizes pathological lying as belonging to the spectrum of behaviors known as Antisocial Personality Disorder. Here’s a description, brought to you by the helpful people at the American Psychiatric Association.

Individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder frequently lack empathy and tend to be callous, cynical, and contemptuous of the feelings, rights, and sufferings of others. They may have an inflated and arrogant self-appraisal (e.g., feel that ordinary work is beneath them or lack a realistic concern about their current problems or their future) and may be excessively opinionated, self-assured, or cocky. They may display a glib, superficial charm and can be quite voluble and verbally facile (e.g., using technical terms or jargon that might impress someone who is unfamiliar with the topic).

Mitt oh Mitt……..please stop it!  Most of us see it as a pathetic attempt to be everything to everybody…..and you cannot achieve that….no matter how you try….it is all a campaign based on lies….granted nothing new there…..but the depth of the lies does make it somewhat unique……
