In reply to the discussion: Melissa Harris Perry doesn't think Romney's transport of Seamus on the roof of car is a big deal... [View all]TheKentuckian
(26,314 posts)but rather the probability that if you are inclined to vote for Rmoney that it is in your nature to be able to blow off such an incident and far worse.
These are the folks that are not only not repulsed by a "war on empathy" but for them it makes for an effective sales pitch.
There is a significant block of people in this country that are attracted to some very anti-social, sadistic, bullying, authoritarian, xenophobic in the extreme, and generally destructive messaging and gobs more who find such acceptable, even if disagreeable on a personal level.
Between the wicked and the wicked tolerant such callous disregard probably isn't a big vote shifter. If you care then Rmoney probably wasn't going to lock up your vote. Sure there are some that will finally have a path to the guy's nature that was not available from policy positions and his words but I doubt such epiphanies are statistically significant.
I don't think Harris-Perry comes off to well here either though, seems wickedness tolerant but then she is somewhat of an elitist establishment supporter so that comes with the territory.
