It's Sunday

And Amen to this.

One doesn’t need to know if Mitt Romney qualifies as a sociopath or psychopath, since electing him to the Presidency of the United States will make him both in any event. As Thomas Jefferson said: “Wherever a man has set his eye upon high office, a rottenness begins in his conduct.” President Obama provides all the evidence of this rottenness that one could possibly want, gleefully dancing on the corpses of Osama bin Laden and other insignificant Muslims at every opportunity.

If the Republicans think that they can monopolize the low road like they usually do, President Obama and his re-election campaign have obviously got news for them. Not that the Republicans don’t deserve to eat their own excrement, but it hardly encourages hopefulness to see yet another corporate Democrat taste it for them first.

Poor little rich boy. From debasing a blind teacher, the scissor incident, the terrified dog on the roof. His fleeing to an estate in Paris to avoid the draft, his early adult years struggling to get by selling off a nice pile of daddy-supplied stock here and there to his starter manse purchased by daddy.

All interesting and tangible examples of a spoiled scion enjoying his station with a complete lack of basic empathy or understanding of what most people go through. All make for good press but the biggest example of the way Rmoney sees the rest of us is through his years as a vulture capitalist with Bain. Wealthy already, it takes a special kind of soulless asshole to turn profit off draining company’s assets, ruining employee pensions, laying off a dedicated workforce and then happily scampering off to buy the next company to do it all over again. Rmoney is no businessman. Businessmen are generally in the “business” of trying to run a profitable business, not buying them with someone else’s money, raiding them, stripping them for parts and shuttering them up after laying off the remaining staff.
