Romney has 1/50th the empathy

[Laurajr]

Of our great President since he thinks that only 1 of the 50 states deserves to have insurance coverage, his state of MA. I can't believe he is now claiming 'great empathy' because he insured 100% of MA residents. So I guess this means our great President is the KING of empathy...no wait...that makes him a socialist.

1. He has 1/50th the empathy of a protozoan.

2. What it means is that Romney IS the wheeler-dealer CEO who will say anything...

... to close a deal and get his hands in control of the next Prospective Revenue Stream.

It's ok for MA because... it's already there and he can't badmouth it without badmouthing himself, so cam MA a special case (hey, it's Taxachusetts!) and badmouth it everywhere else.

Empathy doesn't enter into it at all (it's not on the profit-loss spreadsheet).

3. good lord, shrub was able to exhibit more empathy than rmoney.

i think rmoney's a true sociopath, as in, actually has zero empathy. he's done NOTHING to hint that he has any at all.
i think he's actually completely oblivious to the feelings and situations of others.

the shrub people at least pushed these occassional stories about him chumming it up with some poor person or unemployed person, and he would hug them before cutting some federal program that had been helping them or whatever.

that's not actually proof that he had empathy, only that his handlers recognized the need to CLAIM that he had empathy.

i actually think shrub was more of a psychopath, in the sense that i think he DID have a sense of the feelings and situations of others, and delighted in making them suffer -- compared to rmoney, who i think is merely oblivious and indifferent to the suffering of others.
