(3,596 posts)I think there was something off about George W as well - whether it was a brain diseased by years of alcohol consumption or a world view seen through the eyes of extreme Christian evangelical beliefs, I don't know.
While I think GWB is ultimately responsible for the atrocities against both he American people and the rest of the world, I still believe he was brainwashed by his advisors when you look at who they were. Wolfowitz, Cheney (Satan himself), Rumsfeld, etc. Surprisingly, with some time passed, I think that both Rice and Powell were moderate voices in the maelstrom of extremism emanating from those administrations.
But Romney, from the stories about the things he calls pranks from his earlier years (the gay bashing, walking the teacher into a glass door, dressing up like a state trooper (definitely illegal), etc. to his antics later in life such as putting Seamus on the roof of his car for 12 hours, cannibalizing companies for their value and then discarding the employees and their promised benefits to the wind as he handed the Chinese or Indians new jobs.
He reminds me of the character in one of those horrible made-for-tv movies about the expected Rapture (please read Revelations by Elaine Pagels for an understanding of the Book of Revelations that is totally contrary to this notion of the Rapture) in which the Anti-Christ acts out his evil deeds. The character that portrayed the anti-christ is strikingly similar to RMoney in many ways.
