26. Oh I think I understand where you're coming from.

It's easy to see how at first glance Rmoney could be seen as slightly Aspbergers, since a lot of the stuff he says, you just don't get how someone could be this socially tone deaf by accident. I get that a lot myself - it's why I'm not good around people who I'm not necessarily "in tune with". My son has traits of Aspbergers, but he's a sensitive and caring person.

You look at RMoney, you'll see that he has a commonality with another sociopath: Bewsh always had someone there to pick him up or bail him out when he failed. So in a sense, he never truly failed or learned from those failings.

RMoney always had a lifeline in the form of cash and never bothered himself with the human suffering Bain Capital caused. Now he wants to relate this experience with crowds in the package of "helping America".

I think the difference is that Bewsh knew when to say what and for that reason, he could be passed off as a moderate (his neo-fascism came out, of course, AFTER the SCOTUS nestled him safely in office). Romney seriously thinks everyone he speaks to is down with the Trickle Down. It doesn't seem to cross his mind that some people affected by this economy are Republicans and yes, they ARE waking up. The fact that he would shrug off such a callous statement . . . I'm thinking "sociopath".
