Wife & son keep making mental health problems allegations against Mittens

[UTUSN]

A few weeks ago, Queen Ann said that her biggest concern about Mittens as president was his mental stability.

Today on The View, she was asked why she is called "the Mitt stabilizer," and she tossed the question to son Josh, who said, "If you leave him alone too long he gets crazy."

She added that he gets "wired up."


Also, I know that in the first debate where Mittens said he knew about lying because he has five sons, most replies here dismissed this as sort of cute about how boys lie about staying out late and where they are and whether they're doing something like drinking, smoking, or sexing, cute.

Today Queen Ann said that "everybody knows" that nobody is as selfish as late-teenagers, that Mormons going for their missionary years come back as grown men instead of selfish jerks (paraphrasing, but close). Later she described a granddaughter as being "a very selfish seventeen year old."

This was in the context of Whoopi asking about Mormons not serving in the military. Queen Ann said this is not true, not an article of their (cult, my word), that their missionary years are a substitute. I ask, why do Mormons reply that everything anybody hears about them is not true?!1

O.K., I know about stages and pre-maturity characteristics, but it seems that this family are pretty stark in their descriptions of the dark side of family life.

1. This is the person we want to have their finger on the nuclear trigger?

73. One of the hallmarks

of the sociopathic personality is a marked aversion to being alone. These personalities must have others surrounding them offering up the needed narcissistic supply (adoration, praise, reassurance).

Just sayin.

[FLyellowdog]

2. Sad that a grandmother would characterize her granddaughter as a very selfish seventeen year old

on national tv. I'm not impressed.

[femrap]

11. I guess the Morman females

are taught to self-hate at an early age....or maybe it's just the rich ones?

What do the daughters do 'as their mission' in the Mormon cult? Learn to cook? I could some really nasty things, but I will refrain. Do women get any type of LEADERSHIP positions in this cult?

And aren't the women and men segregated similar to Islam...I could be wrong. I know only one Mormon woman and she told me about the silly underwear. I really thought she was kidding. But who could make up such crap?

[FLyellowdog]

18. I think it would be terribly difficult to be a young Mormon female in today's world. Just my opinion

[femrap]

57. Not if the

brainwashing is sufficient and they stay in their own little bubble. But outside of that bubble, I don't know. I would think they would be easily conned and damaged by what our culture has become.

Organized religions don't seem to let individuals become their 'true selves.' In fact, I think it's discouraged. Must obey and be a certain 'way.'

I'll stick w/ John Lennon and his song, "Imagine"....."Imagine there is no religion, too." I love that song.

[oppressedproletarian]

43. "Do women get any type of LEADERSHIP positions in this cult?"

I don't think so. Only men can be Mormon "priests". All the men by definition hold the priesthood. It was a big deal when it was "revealed" that black men could now hold the "priesthood".

My disgust knows no bounds.

[Saramom]

45. Black men do hold the preisthood.

[FSogol]

48. Blacks were not allowed to have a Celestial Marriage or be members of the Mormon Church until 1979.

Sorry, but the term "cult" fits.

[chimpymustgo]

105. Deleting original post. No point in starting an argument about religions and cults.

[Auntie Bush]

61. Welcome to DU Saramom.

[oppressedproletarian]

68. If you had read my post

you would see I say black men DO *now* hold the priesthood (not "preisthood&quot .

[femrap]

55. I remember when

there was the controversy of accepting Black men as priests. I bet there aren't many of them. I wonder if the Black Priests are married? And how the wife feels about it?

Organized religions cause way too many problems/wars than what they're worth.

[rbrnmw]

85. OMG this reminds me of these creepy neighbors I had years ago

The wife was always nice but weird she called her husband her priesthood head several times when she came calling I asked what she meant by that and she explained she wouldn't get into the celestial kingdom without him

[Trailrider1951]

97. Holy shit

Do people actually believe this?

Quote: she explained she wouldn't get into the celestial kingdom without him

What the hell?????

What about that CONTROL???

Dear god........

[rbrnmw]

103. I know right? She was afraid of that man too

As I think Ann is afraid of Mitt they keep their women folk down

[Saramom]

44. Good one!

I am a mormon and I can't cook worth anything. LOL Just saying.....
Daughters can go on missions as well at the age of 19. Yes this RELIGION the women can be teachers and they serve in higher positions within the church. As far as segregating the Sunday meetings line up are like this. Everyone meets together in the chapel and there we take the sacrament (bread and water) and hear talks be fellow members of the faith. I have spoken in this meeting many times. This is a service base religion everyone who holds a position does not get paid for their service. The second meeting is where the kids go off to a sunday school based upon age which will teach them scripture stories to their understanding concerning their age group. There is an adult sunday school class which I find this happens in many faiths as I have attending many different religions. Then the last hour the men go to priesthood while the women go to a class called relief society. This may be where you get the idea of segregation idea from. The relief society is a great organization which offers many relief efforts for people around the world. The best education one can get to any religion is to investigate it. Attend their services. I believe this strongly and that why I have visited and attended many faiths and I hold great respect for many. I use to actually work for a Presbyterian church for many years in their office. If you want to learn more about this RELIGION (not cult) then attend one of their services. See for yourself rather then assume. The greatest education is knowing and not assumption.

[Indpndnt]

53. I know several ex-Mormons.

Some current Mormons, too, through my son's high school. The ex-Mormons don't agree with your definition of cult. Their opinion, not mine. When I wanted to learn more one evening, just out of curiosity, they sent me here: http://www.exmormon.org/

[femrap]

54. You're talking to

the wrong person about ORGANIZED RELIGIONS. They all put women as secondary. And by that I feel that I'm not important, actually I feel hated.

I have felt this way since my grandmother used to drag me at the age of 5 to her Methodist church. The hypocrisy was overwhelming. Plus the dudes got all the good jobs and the women did all the shit work.

And these ORGANIZED RELIGIONS do nothing but start WARS. I want no part of their hypocrisy and their constant demand for MONEY!!!

Most of these supposed Christians wouldn't recognize Jesus if he washed their feet. They'd be screaming, "EEK, get this dirty hippie out of here. Call the police."

Historians say Jesus never really existed which is kinda sad because he was a cool dude. Now if Xtians acted more like him, things might be OK. But they don't. I have Fundies in my family....up close and personal. They are hateful people. I come in contact with them as little as possible.

How did you decide on Mormonism (and IMHO, it is a cult...a very weird one) over more mainstream religions? You don't have to explain if you don't want to.

I guess my spiritual ties are more in line with the Native Americans who treasured Mother Earth and Father Sky.

Father, son, and the Holy Ghost.....where is MOM??? I got so sick of hearing about men...and that they'd offer their daughters up for sex. Well, what a bunch of bunk.

My Truth is: The extremely wealthy and powerful of this world made up ORGANIZED RELIGIONS as a way to manipulate and control people. Lots of people, for some reason, need to have someone/something to tell them how to live or what to do. There is little in self-reflection nor any questioning of the priests/leaders/whoever. I don't need a middleman to talk to 'The Universe.' I can go outside and look at beautiful Mother Nature and I am overwhelmed with what I see and feel. I don't need some dude yakking at me telling me what to think, see, say, etc.

And that whole eating of blood and bones....just creeped me out.

I mean if you step back and look at the world of ORGANIZED RELIGIONS, I don't see how you can't see the manipulation, power and control. It's insane. I'm not gonna go fight some Muslim because the person is Muslim. Do you know how much money the Elite make off of WAR? They sell weapons to both sides. It puts the young to work as cannon fodder. With high unemployment worldwide, I wouldn't be surprised to see WW3 coming around the corner. It's all been set up as another Crusade of Xtains vs. Muslims. And the Rich and Powerful are just drooling over the money they can make. They love to see the stupid citizens get all aroused w/ patriotism and fundamentalism. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

I don't believe God talked to Joe Smith. Sorry.

And King James....who cares what this dude's version of the Bible says? It is all to keep the rich and powerful rich and powerful...I see it so very easily. It's crap. It keeps women oppressed. And I've felt that since I was a kid. And I never believed that a God would ever want that....EVER. Geez, it keeps everyone oppressed.

And you can tell me you're not oppressed. But that just says you can't see the forest for the trees. We live in a patriarchy and the biggest supporter of that is ORGANIZED RELIGIONS.

I want no part of them. I can help poor people, animals, nature without any intermediary from some organized religion.

If you take offense to this, you shouldn't bring up the subject. I will not be preached at by someone on a supposed PROGRESSIVE BOARD.

You're new and I would appreciate it you left me alone regarding religion. As a Mormon, I assume you are voting for Mi$$ RobMe. Or you're being paid to be a troll sitting at the Heritage Institute making $12/hour.

I really don't think you're welcome here.

[oppressedproletarian]

66. Well said femrap.

Religions are so obviously manmade and are tools of fear and oppression.

[femrap]

91. Welcome

to DU! It seems so obvious to me, and it breaks my heart to see women get snared into these religious oppressive relations.

I really think the Native Indians had a good thing going....they wasted nothing. They were not into material goods. Columbus thought they were so stupid....no, they were kind, truthful and did not know of deceit.

Too bad the Earth wasn't flat! LOL!

[oppressedproletarian]

106. Thank you for the welcome.

Happy to be here!

[lumpy]

72. The Episcopal Church allows women a more active role in leadership ( ministers etc).

n

[femrap]

92. I don't like any of

the organized religions. They read the same Bible. And women are looked down upon. It rings so false to me.

I believe the Powerful have invented these religions so to manipulate and control. I don't want any part of it.

But Jesus, if he really did walk this Earth, or even if he didn't....he was one cool dude that people should aspire to imitate.

[Ghost in the Machine]

101. I wish I could rec your post! n/t

[femrap]

102. Thank you...

I just hope more people look behind the curtain and see they're just being conned.

[beac]

59. OK, since you are here to educate us, I have some questions:

1) Can you explain about the planet Kolob?

2) Can you explain how Joseph Smith's "translation" of an Egyptian papyrus he claimed was the "Book Of Abraham" has been proven by modern scholars to be a complete fraud?

3) Can you explain how Mitt Romney, who claims not to be a "cafeteria Mormon", sleeps in the nude, as he stated on "Live!"? Aren't all good Mormons to wear the garment at ALL times except when bathing??


I await your answers.

[rbrnmw]

87. Can I ask you why you need a man to get into the Celestial Kingdom?

and why you would call your husband a priesthood head?

[beac]

88. I think you meant to address this to Saramom, but it appears she

has retreated back into her binder.

[rbrnmw]

95. LOL yes I was asking her sorry

[beac]

98. No apology needed!

It was a nice opportunity to point out her drive-by cowardice.

[rbrnmw]

96. No One puts Baby in a Binder

[Zooms]

51. Female Mormons can go on missions

Two Mormon girls showed up on my front porch about fifteen years ago, serving their missions. Having roomed with a Mormon girl in college, I was surprised. BTW, that Mormon roomie introduced me to all my vices.

[closeupready]

28. That's what stands out foremost to me. Some family.

And some family values, huh?

[Javaman]

56. Says the grandmother with 5 caddies.

I maintain, behind the scene anne romney is truly a horrible person.

[sammytko]

3. There are mormons in the military. I served with one.

They even have LDS groups in the chapel.

[TwilightGardener]

6. Yes--my husband served with several. He was friends with them.

[madokie]

7. I served with a mormon in Navy SERE school

I don't know if he went to Vietnam as I left SERE school before he did. I went to Vietnam as most of us who spent a tour of duty there did.

[UTUSN]

35. CLARIFICATION OF O.P.: She *did* say that many Mormons perform military service

And my wording implies that their non-military missionary years that it is a substitute for military service (like Conscientious Objection), but her point was that the missionary years have a maturing influence about the same as what military service does.

Repeating, she DID say that many Mormons perform military service.

[madokie]

70. SO

I was just saying that I spent time with a mormon so why the clarification you felt so compelled to give?

[UTUSN]

100. Huh?!1 Because lots of posters thought I said that Mormons *never* militariliary serve and

your post was one of the earliest to point out that many Mormons militarily serve. It wasn't anything personal *against* you, especially since I've had years of being your fellow DUer.

[HereSince1628]

111. In 1974 I apparently served with one of Mitt's cousins at a little base in northern Virginia...

His last name was Romney, he was LDS, he said his uncle was the former gov of Michigan.

No, I did not see his long form birth certificate, or the long form line of authority for his LDS priesthood.

[napkinz]

117. the Romneys are from FRANCE!

They moved there from Remulak.

[AnnaLee]

4. History is why.

I ask, why do Mormons reply that everything anybody hears about them is not true?!

When your top guy talks to God all the time, he can make anything inconvenient just go poof. Yesterday's reality isn't up for discussion cause God made it different today. Understand?

[fleur-de-lisa]

5. Maybe they are ALL sociopaths?

Is it hereditary? Other forms of mental illness can be passed on, but I don't know about sociopaths.

My daughter was a teenager a few years back, and I've NEVER described her as a 'liar' or 'selfish' . . . what is wrong with these people?

[formercia]

8. I think a lot of it has to do with being Wealthy and Self-Entitled

They have no concept of how the 99% live and struggle to make ends meet. Then you add in the Assh0le Sociopath gene. A bad mix. I know several working-class asshole sociopaths. Prisons are full of them, but they don't have the obscene wealth to cause great mischief.

[femrap]

15. Their polygamy

communities have terrible incest problems and horrible genetic diseases which are blamed on the woman, of course. I read an article about this a few years ago. There is a rare genetic disorder where the child is pretty incapable of doing anything...just stays as a baby and requires feeding, diapers, bathing, etc. I think they can live to be around 12.

Mi$$ is certainly a sociopath.

[nolabear]

9. This is a shockingly cold bunch. They seem to cling together rather than loving one another.

The whole lot of them are astonishingly creepy.

[Lightbulb_on]

84. Oh, come on... The View's not that bad...

[CoffeeCat]

10. This is scary...

Last edited Thu Oct 18, 2012, 02:41 PM - Edit history (1)

...it's scary enough that Romney belongs to a really bizarre religion that is like a cult. So yeah, I guess we should also guess that a man who would not only join a cult-like religion--but become one of its leaders--probably has some untreated personality disorder.

I find it really frustrating that Romney's religion can't even be addressed. Oh no! That's off limits! Seriously? These are people who believe in magic underwear and that Jesus will return someday to "The New Jerusalem" which, according to Mormons, will be in Missouri. But we aren't allowed to speak of it?

I think this speaks to Mitt Romney's mental instability!

We aren't even allowed to speak about Mormonism, but half of Obama's 08 campaign was about Rev Wright. We aren't allowed to speak about how Mitt Romney's grandfather was kicked out of the United States and had to go to Mexico--because of his multiple marriages. Yet, the lunatic right questioned Obama's past to the point where they demanded that he produce his birth certificate!

Double standard here!

Romney is described as lacking empathy and empty by so many who meet him. How else could someone make a fortune by decimating companies, firing people, destroying lives and causing untold suffering--if they weren't lacking in empathy? Most likely he's a sociopath!

[FLyellowdog]

20. Don't you mean "Romney's mental instability"?

[femrap]

25. So that's why

George Romney was in Mexico....I wondered about that????

Well, I don't see anything wrong with starting a big fat WHISPER CAMPAIGN about this cult, do you? I've already been telling RobMe voters that Polygamy is right around the corner....just like Islam. You should see the look in their eyes....hadn't thought of that.

There are still communities of polygamy.

How can Fundies vote for a Mormon??? I just don't get it.

[Saramom]

39. Know your facts

There are sects of people who have pulled away from the orginal mormon faith otherswise known as the mainstream mormons. These sects some still practice polygamy but as for the "mainstream mormon faith" they do not .

[Caretha]

90. I'm still waiting on your answer

regarding planet Kolob? Truly, I find that just fascinating.

[Hutzpa]

12. Where the eff is AP

can they do their job for once.

[brush]

13. Missionary years?

Ann Romney said Mormon's missionary years are a substitute for military service. Why how convenient. They all get to duck military service yet still want to get our country into wars.

[KamaAina]

21. They could enlist after they complete their missions

and many do. Just not the past four generations of Rmoneys.

Others go back to college; the NCAA even has a special exception to its age limits just for them, which leads to BYU teams filled with 26-year-old seniors.

[femrap]

26. That's

sickening. The boyz always get these special little rights with anything concerning BALLS.

[fleur-de-lisa]

24. Her comment was truly insulting . . .

dodging bullets and trying to survive in horrible conditions is comparable to living in comfort while tooling around on a bike in France, while Daddy foots the bill?

Somebody PLEASE put her back in her BINDER ! ! !

[backscatter712]

14. For once, I agree with Queen Ann.

I worry about Mitt's mental health too!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. Now he's triggered my imagination by visualizing examples of "he gets crazy"

And I think he's invited the rest of America to let their imaginations run wild as well.

[barbtries]

17. it's probably fairly miserable.

the parents are miserable people.

[femrap]

29. It's fortunate

that the RobMe's did not have a daughter....imagine what they'd do to her.

[barbtries]

34. i'd rather not

i think you're right.

[KamaAina]

19. Could this be why Willard chickened out?

To avoid being humiliated on national teevee by his own wife?

[reformist2]

22. She is subconsciously undermining Mitt's image.

Deep down, I don't think she wants to do this. I think she only agreed to let Mitt run again because he kept pestering her for her permission. And she eventually just caved in. Because that's what a good Mormon wife does.

[reformist2]

33. He may turn into a different person, since this was obviously his life's goal.

He's been planning to be president since at least the 1990s, if not earlier.

[atufal]

23. 20 years ago, I bunked next to a mormon in basic training.

He was cool. Strange. But cool.

[Brother Buzz]

36. 40 years ago, I served with a Mormon

He performed his missionary work, then got drafted. I'm just saying.

[global1]

27. Do We Have An Eagleton On Our Hands.....

Remember Senator Thomas Eagleton:

McGovern said he would back Eagleton "1000 percent". Subsequently, McGovern consulted confidentially with preeminent psychiatrists, including Eagleton's own doctors, who advised him that a recurrence of Eagleton's depression was possible and could endanger the country should Eagleton become president.[8][9][10][11][12] On August 1, Eagleton withdrew at McGovern's request and, after a new search by McGovern, was replaced by Kennedy in-law Sargent Shriver.[13]

Here's a link to his wikipedia site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Eagleton

[femrap]

31. At least

Eagleton went to see a shrink and get help.

RobMe?? Very doubtful. But that certainly would be cool to find out that, in fact, he does see one.

I feel he is a sociopath. It's weird that that Ann and her son said he hates to be alone...now that's really weird. I guess he always wants to be out there making people suffer!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

32. I don't think Romney's mental health issues involve depression

According to his son he gets "wired" when he's alone. Romney is full of himself, narcissistic, and aggressive when he doesn't get his way. He's the opposite of "withdrawn".

[Saramom]

37. Mormons not in Military...,.False

This is completely false and I find this to be very offensive because my husband has served faithfully in the military for years as well and going on a two year mission for the mormon faith. I know many men and women who have served in the military and who happen to be a mormon. I also know military who have died for our countries freedom that too are mormon. This is a sad day when our military no matter of what race or religion is being disgraced because of ones ignorance.

[hunter]

38. Yep, plenty of Mormons serving in our military.

Welcome to DU.

[gaspee]

40. You signed up for this website

just to defend your husband. How sweet.

I think you need to practice your reading comprehension.

And you really believe that convicted conman and philanderer Joseph Smith found some magical golden tablets that only he had the magic glasses to read? With his history of being a convicted conman? That's just nutso.

I think you should stick around and read a bit more on this website.

[aletier_v]

42. I was a Cali who moved to Idaho. Its a bit amusing

to see DU just now figuring out who Romney really is.

Mormons are not "mainstream folks" who just happen to attend a different church. They have a significantly different belief system and moral code and I have ZERO desire to them in the White House. Even Obama is better and you don't know how much that pains me to admit.

[progressivebydesign]

47. "even Obama is better?" Really? Sorry Nader isn't running this year. sigh. nt

[aletier_v]

58. cheer up. Obama is better than Palin, Cain or Perry too!

[bluestate10]

83. Hello. I talked to a staunch Romney supporter today, but

when told some of the things being said about the President, that Romney supporter went ballistic on his fellow Romney supporters that are saying gross stuff. I have no intention of voting for Romney, President Obama has been my choice all along. But in the event that Romney wins, Romney will be my President and I will wait for the next chance to defeat him.

[aquart]

41. Correct. Mormons do serve.

Romneys do not. It has nothing to do with their being Mormon.

[elehhhhna]

52. During Vietnam, each ward was given two exemptions

lucky for mitt that he was most deserving of them

[davsand]

46. The LAST thing I'd want would be my family talking in public about my mental health.

Think about that for a second--his FAMILY is talking openly about his mental health. The people who are supposed to love you and know you the best of all are out there in public making comments about your mental stability???? Ho-lee Crap!!

If I was running for any office--including dog catcher--I'd be mighty bummed to have my nearest and dearest out there talking about their concern for my mental state.



Laura

[FSogol]

49. Didn't George Romney ruin his political career admitting he was "brainwashed?"

The Romneys still haven't learned anything.

[WinkyDink]

77. Yes, except he meant it in an anti-Establishment way.

[napkinz]

109. Imagine if Michelle Obama had raised these issues about her husband on The View

It would be a HUGE news story.

It's unbelievable the MSM aren't covering it.

Not even Rachel, Ed or Tweety.

[yardwork]

115. Imagine if President or Mrs. Obama publicly criticized their children.

Imagine Michelle Obama calling one of her daughters "selfish" in an interview. Imagine President Obama saying that he's familiar with liars because he has daughters. People would be appalled, and rightly so.

[napkinz]

116. Imagine if the MSM would do its job and report the TRUTH

By ignoring all these stories, they are keeping the public UNINFORMED.

And we wonder why it's so close in the polls ... so many UNINFORMED voters.

[yardwork]

119. big corps own the media

[napkinz]

121. But some seem to be given more latitude

Rachel especially. I'm surprised she's not covering this issue -- Mitt's Mental Instability.

[hrmjustin]

50. Mormons are peculiar. I think they like it that way.

[crazylikafox]

62. I want to see this addressed in the next debate. Too bad it didn't come up last time.

"Mr. Romney, your family has said publicly that they fear for your mental health if you become president. Can you reassure us that you are mentally stable enough to be president and handle that 3AM phone call????"

[LeftInTX]

65. +100,000

[flyguyjake]

63. I heard that loud and clear too!

The family as a whole is continually stating that Mitt has mental issues and needs to be "reigned in"! I don't think Mitt is mentally capable of running our country. He will snap and then we'll be fuck when Ryan ascends to POTUS!

[napkinz]

108. I've said this in several threads

If the CANDIDATE'S WIFE is saying she's concerned about her husband's mental stability ... then shouldn't we be too!

[desertduck]

64. 1. I despise romney & his ilk. 2. I am not a mormon...

Having said that as my disclaimer, i have to say, i don't understand the animosity displayed here towards LDS. They live clean lives and promote family values (i understand where that can get sticky as i have seen how some of those "values" don't represent my own. I.e. The homophobia). But they do good (for the most part). They certainly aren't the only group to do missions. And they aren't the only religion to not have female representation at the top. I've been around some of them and they are just like everyone else. I guess i am just not understanding the intolerance shown towards them. Scientology, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast. Now THAT is some crazy ass shit.

[beac]

69. Mormonism is Scientology for the 1800's.

But Joseph Smith was an even bigger con man than L. Ron Hubbard, not to mention a sexual predator:

http://www.exmormon.org/mormon/mormon432.htm

[WinkyDink]

78. They raise business success as the highest good. They assert that lying to non-Mormons is peachy.

They are based on the writings (in an "Egyptian" unknown to Egyptologists) of a man who was known contemporaneously as a con-man.

[amborin]

80. and trash the environment, as part of dominion over the earth

[quinnox]

81. agreed, the mormons I know are some of the nicest and good people

I've ever met. I just think there is a lot of ignorance on display around the mormons and a lot of people just don't know them. So they think a guy like Romney represents what mormons are like, when it is far from the truth.

[aletier_v]

86. i lived with them for five years

I know them far too well.

Sure, they're pleasant and agreeable as long as there's no moral conflict between their religion, their fellow mormons and what happens to you.

[beac]

89. The people at Jonestown were "nice and good" too.

Doesn't mean they weren't in a cult.

And yes, I've known some Mormons personally. The fact that they can appear "nice and good" while believing all the insane and dangerous things they do is what makes them so scary.

[quinnox]

93. talk about dangerous and insane, The Branch Davidians (David Koresh) and Westboro Baptist Church

are offshoots of Christianity. I'd say that religion attracts more than its fair share of folks who actually do dangerous and insane things.

[beac]

99. Couldn't agree more, which is why I am an atheist.

Jones' church was called the "People's Temple Christian Church", FYI.

Plenty of insanity to go around in religion. The Mormon Church just happens to be one of the more dangerous, IMO, becasue they are so adept at hiding their insanity behind a mask of "nice and good."

[JoePhilly]

67. Mormon first, American second.

[aletier_v]

71. exactly.

It's just wrong.

[WinkyDink]

74. The son Damien (heh) said he and his brothers would always lie to their father.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

75. Romney gets "wired up"??? Is that in a repair shop or do they send him back to the factory?

76. I run for cover, just like you

79. God, I miss Christopher Hitchens. For all his faults, he'd be able to write a scathing article on

Romney and his religion right now if were alive. I really wish he was here for this election.

82. Don't need Hitchens, we have Romney

94. Thread at exmormon.org is....

...going off about Ann comparing missions to military service... http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,676127.

104. It's called Domestic Violence

And YES I think Ann Romney is a mentally battered wife if not more

110. This story is being ignored by the MSM

[yardwork]

112. I raised teenage sons and I would never describe them as liars or as selfish.

Parents who describe their children that way, in my experience, are revealing serious family dysfunctions.

[napkinz]

113. They way they talk makes me very suspicious

The son wants to punch the president. The wife says her husband can't handle stress, gets crazy and dumps on her. Mitt talks about trees being the right height and binders full of women.

I'd like to take a look at Romney's birth certificate. How do we know he's not from France ... or elsewhere!

114. Ann, the stabilizer

118. MUST SEE from Oilwellian

122. I see you've been busy

You beat me to the post.

[napkinz]

123. I just love it!

I'm trying to post your video on every thread that deals with Mitt's mental instability.

Yours and Kossack's:

Both of your videos have to go viral. This is a SERIOUS issue, one the MSM is ignoring.

As I said in another post, if Michelle Obama had said on "The View" that her husband got crazy, dumped on her, and had to be stabilized, it would be BREAKING NEWS, HEADLINE NEWS, covered by all the network and cable news shows.

124. Is Mitt Romney Mentally Ill?

Is Mitt Romney Mentally Ill?

During an important election to decide the fate and direction of a country, a voter is likely to consider a candidate’s consistency of actions, values, methods, principles, and expectations, as well as outcomes from previous experience in political office before supporting a candidate. Many voters contemplate a candidate’s honesty and truthfulness, or accuracy of actions, before deciding to cast their vote, and few would choose a candidate renowned for lies and hypocrisy because it defines the candidate as morally deficient with anti-social tendencies. Americans are witnessing a morally deficient candidate for the presidency, and if it is not obvious by now that Willard Mitt Romney is a pathological liar, a hypocrite, and deceitful in words and deeds, it is about time his possible mental illness, Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASP), is exposed to the American people.

An individual suffering from ASP is calculating, manipulative, frequently charming and alluring, and fits the clinical portrait matching depictions of con artists and predators found in literature, and is masterful at using machinations of a criminal who fails to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors. Some criteria psychologists use to diagnose ASP are deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, conning others for personal profit, and lacking remorse or rationalizing having caused harm. Besides persistent lying, Romney demonstrates an innate inability to care about harming others borne out of narcissism, elevated self-worth, and a sense of extreme entitlement and cannot tolerate authority figures. If these criteria seem suspiciously similar to convicted felons and life-criminals, it is because over one-third of the prison population suffers from different degrees of ASP and, like Romney, they have a childhood history of the disorder.

Over the course of the campaign, stories of Willard’s childhood bullying and disregard for people other than himself abound, and besides chasing and holding down a gay classmate and cutting his hair, there are other instances of his disregard for others. Romney’s impersonating a police officer is not just a prank, and victims of Romney’s faux law enforcement attention may have a different opinion of his behavior that contradicts the portrait of the squeaky-clean Mormon boy. Indeed, Romney carried his disregard for young Americans into college when he protested in favor of sending young men to fight and die in Viet Nam while his “religious” deferments allowed him to luxuriate in a French castle while he proselytized French people into his cult.

Willard carried his disregard for other people with him to Bain Capital where he repeatedly lied and conned unwitting companies and shareholders into believing that, under Bain management, their firms would flourish only to end up in bankruptcy as Romney and his partners pillaged their assets, shuttered businesses, and raided employee’s pensions all for personal profit. Romney’s narcissism drives him to claim he saved the Salt Lake City Olympics, but he is remiss to give credit to the American taxpayer who funded his efforts to the tune of $1.5 billion, and then destroyed records to conceal malfeasance and cronyism related to his Mormon business associates. He continued covering tracks at the end of his failed term as Massachusetts governor when he charged taxpayers for wiping computers to conceal internal correspondence, and his bankruptcy gang repeated the cover-up practice by destroying books and records in the eToys bankruptcy between 1999 and 2001. Old habits die hard, but especially when they are borne of a cognitive disorder like ASP.
