A point to consider concerning Mr. Romney's character.

[catnhatnh]

At some point in his Bain career, the money he'd already earned had to be enough not just for him and his family for all of their lives, but also for generations untold into the future. And while no Einstein the man was not stupid- he knew-he absolutely had to know that every next million dollars he extracted from those companies, while nothing more than running up the score on his part, was costing jobs and pensions for decent working fellow American citizens. And with over one hundred million in his pockets and an equal amount buried in trust for his immediate succeeding generation this "Good and Moral" man proceeded shredding the lives and livelihoods of thousands more while using every imaginable tax dodge to avoid throwing even a pittance to the National coffers, where a few bits might trickle down to those he had impoverished.
And that is the character of this piece of human shit with balls enough to think he could be our leader.

2. That's something I've never understood about the very rich -

not just Romney.

At some point, when they have more money than they can possibly spend, more houses and cars and airplanes and yachts than they can possibly use, and they're still piling it up in their secret accounts in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, do they ever stop and think, "Ya know, I think I have enough now. I'm not going to do anything else to make more money, and I might even give some of it away"? If they don't ever think that, why not? What is it that makes someone like Romney keep on trying to accumulate more? What does it do for him? Is it just an ego thing, the ability to think to himself, "I am so totally awesome because I'm more filthy stinking rich than just about anybody in the world?"

And if that's really what he does think, then he's a fucking sociopath and no way in hell should he be the president of anything.

8. Money collecting is a game to the wealthy

I've heard them say that the "boy with the most toys wins." To buy the toys they have to keep stacking up the money.

3. A second point concerning Romney's character...

he has none.

4. Point three

He is a lying sack of excrement. I have never been lied to so often and so consistently by someone. Really? I'm supposed to vote for reversible Mittens???

5. Those balls are going to shrink after the election.

He's going to be feeling mighty small.

6. There's a saying: Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

The greedy egocentric 1%ers are the problem.

7. He wanted enough money to buy....

....any elected office he wanted. He was preparing to buy the Presidency some day.

Also, Mormons have a strict hierarchy, in which at the top are rich white men. Wealth is considered the will and favor of of God. So for every dollar he gets he is getting another piece of God-approval.

It's completely non-self-limiting. This is what it means to be a Bishop in the church.

We're in really scary territory with this cult member.
