Do you think bush ever feels real grief, loss or sorrow for those he's ordered dead?

[Philosoraptor]

Do you think on this, yet another awful Memorial Day that he has a heavy heart or is burdened in any way by all the misery in his wake? Do you think he feels it like Lincoln might have? Do you think he loses sleep, frets and worries, has moments of self doubt or pain, equal to the weight of half a million dead soldiers and innocents?

Do you ever want to vomit when you see him laying a wreath at a Memorial Day service?

[Solly Mack]

1. Fuck no. He's told how a human would act and he tries his best

to follow the script.

[Lerkfish]

3. lol! we almost posted the same thing simultaneously!

as usual, here I am, agreeing with solly mack.

:cheers:

[Solly Mack]

10. LOL! I wouldn't be surprised if his speech notes included "now look sad"

(like someone just took your favorite cowboy boots from you)

[Lerkfish]

2. no, he's a sociopath, incapable of compassion or remorse, albeit able to recognize he

he needs to fake such emotions.

[Midlodemocrat]

6. Exactly. A sociopath can't feel remorse

and if he isn't a sociopath, then no one ever was or will be. I can't stand to even look at him. He's beyond disgusting. :puke:

[TahitiNut]

21. The reason he fakes it is because he's a pathological narcissist.

As such, he's attuned to being "on stage" .. he craves it. He can't survive without the attention. He feeds on it, voraciously and insatiably. He's very, very practiced at "acting out" whatever will elicit the reactions upon which his perverted ego feeds. His pathological narcissism is effectively untreatable.

[kskiska]

30. Chance

[WinkyDink]

33. 100% in agreement!!!

[July]

49. I see you know the type, TN. And I agree with you fully.

I've had the unfortunate experience of dealing with two pathological narcissists, and, once you catch on, you do find them easy to recognize.

Sadly, as you suggest, attention is his what he's jonesing for, and he doesn't care how he gets it, so if people are protesting him -- even in the millions, as before the Iraq war, he's thrilled.

Bottom line is that he's a sick fuck.

[BlueIris]

62. Thanks for reminding folks that this pathology isn't "fixable."

Too many are still deluded about that. He's a deeply damaged man.

[Forkboy]

69. You got a pretty good handle on him there.

I think that's exactly what it is.

[flyarm]

4. no , simply stated..no

[Patsy Stone]

7. Hi. Mama Fly!

Wonderful job with the ATC story! :toast:
:loveya:

[flyarm]

43. hi Patsy love!!!..how are you sweets??

huggies..fly

[Patsy Stone]

73. I am just peachy, thanks!

Very sorry to hear about your tooth, and I hope there's a dentist's appointment in your future -- or at the very least good drugs.

That was an important story that needed to be covered, so hat's off to you for seeing that it gets out there! It affected so many people and could have been a huge disaster.

Always a pleasure to see you, doll! :loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

5. No

and to your last question, yes.

When I heard him on the radio address telling me I should take a moment this weekend to remember those who paid the ultimate price, I screamed back, "I do -- frequently. Why don't YOU??"

[hlthe2b]

8. No more than he thinks of the frogs he blew up with firecrackers..

No doubt he experiences "pity parties," but they are all about the impact this has had on HIM...

[tabasco]

9. I think the "looking for WMD in the Oval office" skit should have answered that question.

What decent man with a conscience would make jokes about a purported mistake that cost thousands of lives?

[July]

50. That was so offensive.

I actually thought that even the MSM would be taken aback, silly me.

It is hard to believe that a blow job offends people so much more than this. How can any parent of someone killed in this idiotic war reconcile that skit that mocks the whole argument for their child's presence in Iraq?

Still makes me ill.

[Saturday]

11. No... to grief, loss and sorrow.

Yes... to vomit.

[Saturday]

12. No... to grief, loss and sorrow.

Yes... to vomit.

[Cabcere]

57. Bingo.

My reaction exactly. The man has no conscience whatsoever...and he makes me sick. :puke: Same goes for his cronies.

[stillcool]

13. I would love to know...

what he and those of his ilk, perceive of the world when they awake each day. I'm convinced it's nothing I could recognize..not human/animal/vegetable, or mineral, but.....a breed apart

[live love laugh]

14. "Do you ever want to vomit when you see him laying a wreath at a Memorial Day service?"

:puke:

Seeing that just turned my stomach.

[Individualist]

15. Sociopaths are incapable of experiencing those emotions

[kurth]

16. A real chimp would be more empathic

This one is just an evil droid.

[asjr]

17. A man without a heart feels nothing.

[blondeatlast]

18. No. It would take some sort of connection to have empathy or grief.

He has none.

[spanone]

19. he's a politician, they are only a pawn in his game.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

20. No. He is a sociopath -- as are his cohorts. They should be

publicly ridiculed -- as in saddled with yokes and pelted with rotten vegetables -- when they receive their convictions for their crimes. Public humiliation would be most painful for these maniacal egotists.

[H2O Man]

22. No.

There is a description of sociopaths: "they know the lyrics, but not the tune." Bush feigns feeling upset. He parrots the words, but he can't carry the tune.

I'm often left with the impression that he really thinks that their deaths are a mark of his courage.

[July]

52. That's a very interesting point, H2O Man.

I never thought of it in those terms, but I think it makes sense.

Bush is desperate to be seen as top dog, as what we know of his day-to-day demeanor reveals. He wanted a war to mark himself as a "war president," with the supposed macho points that war-presidenting accrues, so any deaths that come with it increase the "warrior" status he never could handle on a personal level.

Very insightful notion.

[Double T]

23. Absolutely not!! Psychopaths and sociopaths have no conscience,........

no remorse and no soul, but they sure as hell put on a very convincing act.

[kenny blankenship]

24. Not really. If he feels any remorse, he just tells himself "they're with God now"

because Saddam was a bad man and God wants America to have Iraq's oil--and then he feels all better.

[givemebackmycountry]

25. All you have to do is see that disgusting fat sow that he calls "mother"

To understand why he is the way he is...

Talking about the trapped "refugees" living in the Astrodome after Katrina ravaged their state:

"Things are working out quite well for them"


:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[shadowknows69]

26. Nope

I only have a B in Psych 101 to my name and experience but I think he's a classic psychopathic personality. No conscience whatsoever.

[acmavm]

27. OF COURSE NOT. And he's a coward. He shit all over the TANG and

then he went AWOL.

And Daddy bailed him out.

Why would he feel anything? He thinks he's 'entitled', that his worthless hide is worth more than the rest of us.

If God exists (and I believe he does) that man puts my immortal soul in jeopardy every damn day.

[Rob H.]

28. Hell, no. He doesn't feel anything for other people (except maybe scorn).

Remember that this is the man who, when asked about any mistakes he may have made during his first term, couldn't think of any. IIRC, he also mentioned not long ago that he sleeps like a baby.

[MuseRider]

29. I don't think he bothers

his empty skull with it.

No compassion, no empathy. Just a stupid asshole in a suit.

[Vidar]

31. I believe "glee" would be Bush's emotional response.

[WinkyDink]

32. Did Ted Bundy? John Wayne Gacy? Fuhgeddaboutit.

[leftofthedial]

34. he feels nothing for any person except himself

he's a sociopath


oh. and I want to vomit every time I see him period.

[Ino]

35. Here's what I think goes through his mind...

"I'm gratified these brave men sacrificed their lives on my order. It's so awesome that I have that power! Being the Decider is hard, but I did my job. They did theirs."

[leftchick]

36. I want to vomit anytime I see either of them

:puke:




:puke:




:puke:

[slowry]

37. Incapable n/t

[Initech]

38. I'm convinced now that Bush isn't human. He's a creature that spawned from what the Bible refers to

as the "desolate one".

[Edweird]

39. no.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

40. I want to vomit everytime I see his face or hear his voice.

The fact that this craven coward assclown should even be permitted to set foot in Arlington Cemetery makes me want to :puke:.

Chucklenuts is the most useless piece of protoplasm on the entire planet.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

41. Here's your answer!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x981255

[Madspirit]

42. Like Mama Like Son

Why would he clutter his "beautiful mind" with such thoughts? Please.
Lee

[LynnTheDem]

44. No.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

45. Loss perhaps

But only to the extent that he has 3454 less soldiers to play warmonger with.

[seemslikeadream]

46. HE IS JUST GETTING STARTED...

EVERY DEATH CREATES NEW ENEMIES
MORE TERRORISTS
MORE DANGER
MORE DEATH
AND REMEMBER...
HE IS JUST GETTING STARTED...
BUSH'S PLAN FOR PEACE
IS THE PEACE OF THE COMMON GRAVE


http://www.bushflash.com/pax.html

[Poiuyt]

47. The value of the war dead to George W. Bush

[July]

48. Short answer: no. Long answer . . .

His fragile little mind can't handle his own responsibility, therefore he uses whatever compensating mechanisms he can come up with. Yeah, I'm just an armchair psychologist, but I firmly believe that Bush would melt if he ever discovered empathy.

[blues90]

51. NO , it is not in his nature if it can be called nature

more like a freak of nature , he feels nothing from what I can see . After all he was the texas executioner without remorse or a soul .

[Prophet 451]

53. I doubt it

I'm gradually being forced to the opinion that Bush is a clinical sociopath and if that's the case, no, he isn't capable of feeling real guilt (although he might be able to fake it).

[StarryNite]

54. Hell no!

That sick fuck gets off on it.

[mnhtnbb]

55. The mark of a sociopath is his inability to identify with anyone else.

Everything is about him. He's probably sorry that the deaths keep mounting up
otherwise his 'mission accomplished' would be correct.

[BlueIris]

63. Actually, the defining characteristic of a sociopath is lack of a conscience.

No ability to feel true remorse or guilt for his actions, no matter how abhorrent. Bush has never had that nor will he ever have that. He's been a done deal psychologically since about age 3. It's scary when you think about how much power he has, considering how broken he is.

[Faux pas]

56. Ah, but how could you forget that no one suffers like he and

laura do? :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Skittles]

58. he is a sociopath

he only feels for himself

[Arugula Latte]

59. That's exactly what I was going to say, word for word.

I believe he has no ability to feel empathy for another living creature.

[Philosoraptor]

60. And so America was destroyed by a sociopathic monster.

He's all ours, forever.

[BlueIris]

61. Nope. Sociopaths aren't so much with the empathy.

Or the grief.

[krispos42]

64. Yes, of course he does

But he keeps a bottle of pills and a glass of water on the nightstand so it can start to 'go away' as soon as he wakes up.

[Philosoraptor]

65. Once after he visited wounded soldiers I saw him tear up.

Several years ago he'd just come out of an hour long session of meeting the soldiers he'd ordered crippled forever for his personal profit, and I think it momentarily got to him. I think he has a heart, and certain feelings like most humans, but I can never forgive him for lying all those people into their graves.

Fuck his tears, they are meaningless.

[Swamp Rat]

66. I'm sure you saw one of his best performances.

He's been down hill ever since.

The tears you saw, likely extracted from human babies, were produced on cue by Karl Rove using remote controlled microchip technology.

[bdamomma]

72. those tears are just for show.

[baby_mouse]

67. Of course he doesn't. He thinks it's funny. NT.

[madokie]

68. Hell NO

sorry about the screaming, I couldn't help myself

[imperial jedi]

70. hell no! he is a sociopath

he only feels for himself.

[bdamomma]

71. no he feels no remorse, this man is a sick SOB.

who wraps himself in religion, he is no religious man.
