Does Mitt really want to serve his country?

[Thinkingabout]

In order to avoid military service Mitt escaped with missionary time, a missed opportunity. Through the years he has many opportunities to serve this nation by paying taxes and he used many loopholes to avoid doing so. Now he is running for president, having failed so many times to set the example of a good citizen. It is now te to reward him for his past services by defeating him in November, go I'm numbers to vote against him.

[Justice wanted]

1. NO! He wants the Presidency--and half the time I think he doesn't want to be President but he will

be President for one reason only-- TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE SERVE HIM AND HIS FELLOW UBER RICH.

2. I think Willard has a political Oedipus complex - just like W, he wants to 'one up' his father

It's all about showing up their dads.

W's dad served one term so he had to serve two, even if it meant stealing elections.

Willard's dad didn't get the nom, so he is already one step closer to the prize. To be elected is to double up his dad.

3. you make an excellent point

I think he believes it is something that is due him - because he has such an inflated sense of himself. Just another entitlement for him and the 1% of the 1% he would serve in office.
Why anyone would trust him with their military age sons and daughters is beyond me.

4. Mitt wants to serve one person - Himself.

That's a no-brainer and anyone who thinks otherwise is goddanm fool.

6. He's a megalomaniac

Megalomania is a psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, or omnipotence. Megalomania is characterized by an inflated sense of self-esteem and overestimation by persons of their powers and beliefs.

What he thinks he is

What he really is

7. Of course

8. It depends on what your definition of "country" is. His fellow people, yes - small crowd.
