Shrubbie failed at everything he did until the 1% decided to manufacture a political career for him. Therefore he was willing to be "handled" while honing the "aw shucks" persona.

Rmoney was a huge success at making money, which takes a reasonable amount of smarts as well as being a sociopath. That means that he refuses to be "handled" by his team or to take the opinions of anyone not in his class seriously. He is totally incapable of faking "aw shucks."

Mr. Leon in Belmont. Only thing I can report is that the Trust Fund Bully was very likely not being totally forthcoming when, during the bru-ha-ha over John Edwards' expensive haircut, he said on national television that his cuts were only $10 or so.

and in 2008 I wondered by all his fellow republican candidates seemed to hate him so much.

This past year we've seen so much more of him and yes, he is "creepy". He has dead, soulless eyes and its hard to watch and listen to him.

And I have no idea what else to say about that. He just gives me the heebie jeebies, like his head's going to split open and a lizard headed alien is going to eat my face off. He never actually LOOKS anywhere. It's as though he's staring into another world, and the only time you see a reaction that looks at all real is when he's caught off guard and the REALLY creepy snappy chuckly snarly part of him shows through.

It is as if he is not even human and he makes my spidey senses go offl. I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly but I do know it is difficult for me to either watch him on TV or listen to him. He is odd and out of sync, and not in a good way.
I was revulsed by Bush but the reaction I have to Mitt is weird.

I am so glad i don't have cable so I don;t have to see him or hear his voice...and any photos posted seem to still not be able to filter our the ICK factor.

What sucks is it reminds me of the 8 years of hell when the Chimp was prez and i had the same feelings...couldn't ever listen to him, let alone watch him...his beady little eyes still make me shudder. I know Romney has that same effect, and god help us if he ever did win by a freak of nature... I'd expect the Mother Ship to land on the WH lawn for sure!

Let's say Romney is telling the truth and he really does not remember pinning a boy to the ground and attacking him with a scissors while the boy cries and screams for help.

What kind of creepy lets your brain forget when you cause that kind of torment for another person.

The word "vessen" was made up for the show. But it works. Para-human is another word used on Grimm last night.
