If there's one thing you can say about Romney in his career as a politician is that there is nobody who he doesn't consider expendable, whether that is a staffer, a friend, an ally, or any particular group of constituents who presume to think that, just because they elected him, he owes them something. He is Nixon without the awesome, class-bred insecurities. Nixon knew when he was being vicious. He gloried in it. The White House tapes drip with his self-indulgent tough-guy crap through which you can see the quivering little grocer's son. That insecurity may be the only thing that saved the Republic. Willard Romney never has known that insecurity for a day in his life. He is casually vicious and he doesn't even recognize that he is.
To Willard Romney, voters vote for him because it is their job to vote for him, their part in the work of a righteous universe to give him whatever it is he wants. It was the job of the workers at Ampad to get fired so that he could make more money because that is what the immutable laws of that righteous universe demanded. It is the job of the media to let him talk about what he wants to talk about he's bone-ignorant about Iran, too, by the way because that will further his goal to be president which is where the immutable laws of the righteous universe want him to be. It is the job of all of us to be partners in the immutably decreed apotheosis of Willard Romney, because that, my dear man, is the way things simply ought to be.

(2,322 posts)...his disenfranchisement of the anti-bullying LGBT group. I don't believe he does remember the bullying incident, because I don't think it made an impression on him. And he certainly isn't going to see any reason to feel remorse for it, or for anything else he's done that may have hurt people. He really is of that "Emperor Nero" mentality. The sort who sees himself as the ultimate "benevolent" and enlightened master/dictator, a man from a superior class, background, etc. If all those lesser people (the 99%) would just recognizes that they're there for him and those he views as his peers, to do as he asks because he knows best, then everyone would be happier and paradise could be achieved.
