Star Wars actor Mark Hamill: Romney only imitates human behavior

EXCERPT...
But just the idea of a privileged person fighting for the underdog theres something very romantic about that, (Mark Hamill) explained. I guess it goes back to Robin Hood. People that are fighting for the middle class and for the Have-Nots. Its something that we see even playing out in the presidential race.
And if you dont vote for Barack Obama, youre insane, he continued. Cause without him, I think the middle class will completely disappear. And you look at Romney and Im sure hes a nice guy, but I think hes like The Thing: He only imitates human behavior; hes not actually human himself.
As evidence, Hamill pointed to an event earlier this month where the presumptive Republican presidential nominee described his lemonade as Lemon. Wet. Good.
So, God bless him, the Star Wars actor added. Im enjoying him running for office, but I just came out as a lifelong Democrat.

Like an apple that fell far from his move father's tree, there's something great about Hamill. The guy's got a top brain AND a top heart.
