Opinion: Mitt 'Robot' Romney's Lack Of Empathy Exposed

A story out of Boston Spirit may exposes some of the problems that Mitt Romney has as an executive and as a leader.

[GoldenGator]

"The story paints a picture of a Romney who could care less about other people’s problems."

No, it doesn't; it paints a picture of a Romney who could NOT care less about other people'ls problems. At least not gay people. What a heartless pig.

He has donated thousands of unpaid hours and donated millions to help the poor and other charities. What have you done?

[Tony]

Romney is like a freak show at a carnival.

[Romney Does Have Empathy]

Mitt Romney loves two things:

Money

and other rich people.

It's no surprise that you didn't provide evidence of all this generosity. You apparently didn't read the article either, or you wouldn't be able to logically defend this swine in a gay forum.

And why are you questioning my charity work (which I'd bet a limb would put yours to shame)? This will no doubt be difficult for your oxygen-deprived brain to process, but I'm not running for president, so what I've done is irrelevant here.

Dumb as usual, David.

Logical fallacy. This is known as an "argumentum ad hominem." Moreover, if you support him, you are likely antigay, and the previous poster can pointedly ask what you've done for those families and children.

The second you do anything but answer that you'd help them -- and their kids -- you just broke your moral backbone and you have no place to be speaking like this.

Not that it didn't suck to be you already, but.

One has "empathy" for the crippled, blind, deaf, those with MS, etc. One does not have empathy for the cowardly and stubborn, unless one is really screwed-up.

Mitt Romney is a businessman and will say anything to make a sale, even if it contradicts what he had previously said.(At one time he was pro-LGBT equality...or so he said. What to believe? Now he has signed a pledge to amend the US Constitution to forbid that equality. Maybe he'll flip-flop on that issue too.) He obviously sees the LGBT community as being inconsequential to his political ambitions, so why should he put on an empathic face? He's a hard-core, phoney salesman.

The screeching of the ultraconservatives is extreme. They are mental, sick, pathological, sociopathic train wrecks who *caterwaul* that if the candidate does not endorse their views, they will *obsess over destroying his continued chances in holding office*.

Romney is finally and ultimately a moderate. He is saying things by which he is attempting to appease the sociopaths of his party.

They're already *l-i-v-i-d* that he was the one nominated. They are in daily hysterics over the fact that the country just won't get as extreme as they are; that people don't feel the need; that the party will never get that extreme and satisfy them *UNLESS THEY LEAVE IT* and form their own party.

No logical fallacy on my part. The bigoted article that began the thread lied about Romney's 'lack of empathy,' when in fact he has dedicated many thousands of hours to charitable service, including donations of his own resources as well as administering the country's largest private welfare program.

He was a moderate when he was running for Governor in Massachusetts...maybe. Or was he just a moderate for the time being? It's hard to tell with Mitt. His views are "evolving" on a number of issues that he USED to be moderate on (he claims he changed his mind). But, I will agree with you that the extreme right is dissatisfied with the Republican nominee. But better Mitt than the (sarcasm) non-American-Kenyan-born Muslim, socialist, destroyer of humanity, Black man Obama.

Obama is a Great Man of Empthy

for MINORITIES and MUSLIMS

[IDTHSHSWC]

Romney could clear this all up with a simple statement along the lines of 'I really feel sorry for the queers except the ones who keep molesting children.'

[fatbacks x]

Not only a lack of empathy, but in possesion of a brain that works only after the fact,and with a plethora of ass pulled facts!

[imaginaryfriend]

Romonoid, He was a Romonoid,
One foreign bank account too many,
Romonoid, He was a Romonoid,
And he has tax evasions a plenty,
And he was an empty suit,
With an empty head,
Romonoid, He was a Romonoid,
And to people he couldn't relate,
A selfish S.O.B. too easy to hate.
Romonoid, He was a Romonoid,
Listen to the mumbo-jumbo he spills since he's so despeRATE.
Romonoid, He was a Romonoid,
The clinically insane GOP candidate.

Pardons to Devo.

[Truth]

Romney's theme song.

The latest "Rolling stone" has very insightful articles about Mitty.

Again perkin-man shows no proof.

How shocking! Someone accused of a logical fallacy *claims it's not true* and I BET A BILLION DOLLARS you *WILL NOT* prove that you didn't engage in one with your snot-flapping below.

In fact, I know you're wrong because I now believe you don't know what a logical fallacy *is*. But let's proceed.

This wasn't your fallacy, you bozo.

Your fallacy was to ask *WHAT THE OTHER POSTER HAD DONE* in comparison to Romney. Get an education, for goddamn once. That's an *argumentum ad hominem* and you don't get to redefine it as something else. Christ.
