Not a Normal Person

Why is it that every time Mitt Romney or a member of his family tries to tell a personal anecdote it's always a freaking disaster. The unflappable Mitt knew exactly what to do when the family dog strapped on the roof his car lost his bowels all over the back window. The fun-loving Mitt tripped his daughter-in-law rather than lose a race to her. And this latest one is just unbelievable. Let's reconstruct it.

"I don't trust Romney. He shouldn't make my son's death part of his political agenda. It's wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama,” said Barbara Doherty, Glen’s mother.

It not clear how Romney could remember that he'd met Mr. Doherty one or two years ago when, on the night of their meeting, he couldn't remember meeting him twenty minutes later, or twenty minutes after that, or twenty minutes after that.

This is not a normal person. A normal person doesn't strap his dog to the top of his car and hit the interstate. A normal person doesn't insult people's raincoats and turn up their nose at their cookies. A normal person doesn't dress in a police officer's uniform and impersonate a cop. A normal person doesn't crash his neighbor's Christmas party and introduce himself to everyone four times before realizing he wasn't invited.

1. Beautifully put! :-)

2. I haven't heard the Xmas party story.

How do you not know you're not invited?

6. From the link:

And apparently mitt told this story...

It's either Christmastime 2009 or 2010, Mitt can't remember which. Someone sticks a flier in the Romney family mailbox down in San Diego. It's an invitation to a neighborhood Christmas Party. The Romneys read the flier but they had no intention of attending the party until they noticed a gathering of people practically across the street. "Well, now, if it's not such a long walk, why don't we pop in after all, Ann?"

So, off the Romneys go to attend the neighborhood Christmas Party. They show up, but it turns out that it isn't the neighborhood Christmas Party and they haven't been invited.

"Turns out, this wasn't the neighborhood party. This was a family having a party with their friends," Romney said as his audience laughed. "We were a little embarrassed but they treated us well nonetheless and I got to meet some really interesting people."

“He said it was very comical,” {Glen Doherty friend Elf} Ellefsen said, “Mitt Romney approached him ultimately four times, using this private gathering as a political venture to further his image. He kept introducing himself as Mitt Romney, a political figure. The same introduction, the same opening line. Glen believed it to be very insincere and stale.” ...

“He said it was pathetic and comical to have the same person come up to you within only a half hour, have this person reintroduce himself to you, having absolutely no idea whatsoever that he just did this 20 minutes ago, and did not even recognize Glen’s face.”

3. And that's just for starters

a normal person does not smash his kid's faces into plates of butter nor his grandchildren into whipped cream

doesn't tackle a fellow student and cut his hair off - has no idea what is a lie or the truth

He IS NOT NORMAL - I do not believe that he or his family have human DNA

they are fucking creeps - the whole gd lot of them

4. A normal person doesn't deliberately lead a blind teacher into a closed door as a 'joke.'

A teacher he claimed to 'like!'

Cursed be he who misdirects a blind person on his way.--And all the people shall say, Amen.

And yet they line up to give him money and vote for him

[Angry Dragon]

5. Do not forget smashing his sons' and grand son's faces into food

Every parent does that

15. children AND (recently) grandchildren

7. The problem? No conscience.

The word? psychopath.

That's what sometimes happens when they try to prove they have empathy (or when they're confronted with the fact that they obviously don't have it). Some psychopaths are great actors and very good at mimicking empathy. They learn what reactions and when to have them by studying normal people and copying them. Many of them are believable and no one would know they have no conscience or empathy.

Some of them however, are not such good actors. And when they try to show empathy...you end up with someone who behaves like Mitt Romney. Definitely not normal.

8. But he is a star

in the sociopathic wing of the Republican Party....they love someone with no morals or consistency and who cannot control his impulses--this makes him a fine distraction and front man for their evil agenda.

9. Smirk The Shapeshifter..

Of course, the only reason any of this came up is because Glen Doherty is one of the four Americans who died recently in Benghazi, Libya. Mitt Romney realized that he had met this man at the Christmas Party and decided to talk about how shaken he was to learn of his death. Mr. Doherty's mother isn't impressed:

NOT Normal

10. I read more at the link, and something else does not add up.

He wants us to believe that:

1) he got a flyer about a Christmas party but didn't pay any attention to the date, time and location of the party, and didn't RSVP so that the hosts would know the #s for drinks and food preparation?

2) they just happened to be clean and all dressed up for a party they weren't expecting to go to, so they walked across the street on the spur of the moment when they saw the crowd across the street?

Is this REALLY something that the Thurston Howells would do?

Sorry, it didn't happen.

As Judge Judy says, don't p*** on our legs and tell us it's raining.

11. the man gets caught up in his lies.

13. Was Romney in this Skit?

Oh darn!!...............There are more potential contestants than what is in the video!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe rest of the Republican party is represented by the cheering crowds,..............ahh that must be it!!.....I thought I saw Boener, Cantor, Cheney, Hatch in the crowd!!..Thanks for the laugh BTW

18. Inbred. Notice Boehner and McConnell have the same chin?

[patrice]

14. Really, there's no exaggeration in that whatsoever; Mitt Romney is not normal. That's a

generously conservative assessment, clearly supported by incontrovertible data.
