who is more sociopathic

[Honeycombe8]

34. I don't think Bush was a sociopath at all. I think he wasn't very bright and wasn't engaged

in the duties of hte Presidency. He was a suit, like Reagan, put into office to sign off on the neocons' plans. And he did, without much thought. Until it was too late. He also could connect at least somewhat with normal people, despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He lived in Midland for a while, where he hobnobbed with the local hispanices and other poor people of the area...to a certain extent. He got a decent % of the hispanic vote, for a Republican.

Bush mainly wanted to enjoy playing President, letting Cheney handle things, playing golf, cutting brush on his ranch, maintaining his health, flying on Airforce One. He gladly signed the tax cut bill, Medicare Part D bill, etc. He went along with the Iraq War, getting Hussein being very appealing to him. Then I think his second term he started realizing how he had been played like a fool. But it was too late.

Romney, OTOH, really does not seem to empathize or sympathize or even understand normal people. He's never associated with them, to my knowledge, or lived a normal life in any way. He doesn't think twice about firing people and ruining lives. Having to do that is one thing. Not giving it a second thought or trying to avoid it is another. But he's not a sociopath, either. He DOES care about SOME people. People like himself.

I prefer to leave that term to maniacs who kill people.
