In reply to the discussion: WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO DO WHAT RACHEL JUST DID? She called a liar a liar. [View all]demgrrrll
(3,590 posts)55. The People of the Lie is one of my favorite books. I think that is one of the key things that
separates the sociopath from the rest of the human race, they really don't care about what people think of them or what they have to do to win they only care about winning. Winning is everything. I think these folks have some primitive idea when people see through them. They don't feel bad, they only want to destroy the people who they think would be credible in keping them from reaching their goals or exposing their true nature in a convincing manner. I don't know if I fully sense this about Mitt because he does not have the slickness that I have seen in some sociopaths. That does not mean he is not incredibly self absorbed, I do see that.

He also has a faint smile when he lies. He deserves the title "liar candidate".

Accountability to the law is the only thing that will control a psychopath or sociopath.

It's one of the main reasons I could support a 100% 'tax' on estates over $5m.
