Republicans Are Sociopaths

On the heels of the RNC Chair Michael Steele "Government has never created one job" statement:

Why is it that Republicans and Conservatives think that government does nothing to help people and is grossly ineffective, yet they want to be in charge of it?

And when they are in charge, see 2000-2006, they spend and borrow the most money on Government programs running up the biggest deficits [which are really IOUs] while at the same time cut taxes which is the way Government pays for everything. Very deceitful.

Republicans have the least respect for the government, have the worst intentions, they deny its helping attributes, they manipulate facts, they endorse needless wars and torture, have the worst business principles, yet want to be in charge of it all so they can help their rich friends get richer.

They have a word for this: sociopath
"The essential feature for the diagnosis is a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood."
In diagnosing a sociopath, three or more of the following are required:

  1. Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
  2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
  3. Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
  4. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
  5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
  6. Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
  7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

It's clinical.
