Many psychopaths start out as crimminal defense attorneys, siding with the crimminals and making up lies to get them acquitted while not caring at all about the victims. Then they go into politics where they can victimize more individuals. The determination of which party these psycopaths generally gravitate to is left as a homework assignment for the class.

Probably the #1 giveaway when it comes to psychopaths are their lack of authentic emotion, you will see them acting pretentious or over-acting an emotion simply because they do not feel emotions. Al Gore is el primo example. He is without question a psychopath. Remember his kiss with Tipper and the eye rolling when he was debating Bush? That’s just how psychopaths act. Completely devoid of emotion, like being blind and pretending to see. He acts like that all the time. Oh, or when he gets “angry” remember that when he was making pretend he was angry at the “climate deniers” and he screamed at the top of his lungs? Just completely over the top because he has no idea what anger is.

Don’t know why the first word in the title got messed up as I did a copy and paste. It should be Fifteen.

For people who don’t want to take chances, but want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE they are voting for a psychopath: Just vote for the pro-abortion candidate.

In national and international relations, psychopaths create and exploit divisions based on ethnic, religious, national, or class differences.

That is, based on demographic data.

And when they exploit these divisions to pursue certain outcomes, they assure people that "Demography is destiny!"

And non-psychopaths fall for it.

But demography is only pretense to divide, manipulate, and exploit. In human societies, MORALITY is destiny. The same destiny awaits any group that indulges in envy, avarice, and promiscuity, whether that group is made up of rich white people or poor black folks. Demography has ZERO to do with destiny.

On the other hand, demography has EVERYTHING to do with the pretense politics engages to divide and manipulate voting blocks based on cosmetic data such as race and income.

Upon reading this article, I thought I had just read Obama’s biography.

Some psychopaths think of themselves as “goal-oriented.”

The will to do so...wondering if the psychopaths in charge would allow it. Explains a lot of foreign policy.

I experience this constantly at work.

I have a VERY disturbed and dangerous co worker who is pathologically controlling.

She also sucks up to her bosses and makes them into servile enablers who love her because she will DO stuff for them... even THEIR work. They don’t even know HOW dangerous she is.

In the short run, it has compromised their status... in the long run, NO one respects the supervisory personnel who OUGHT to set themselves above being handled like this.

They want control...look at Thad Cochran’s bio: “He then received a B.A. degree from the University of Mississippi with a major in psychology and a minor in political science in 1959. There he joined the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and was on the cheerleading squad (fellow senator Trent Lott was also an Ole Miss cheerleader).[5] After a time in the United States Navy (1959–1961), he attended the University of Mississippi School of Law, was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi honor society and graduated in 1965. He then practiced law for seven years.Cochran grew up as a Democrat, but became a Republican sometime in the mid-to-late 1960s. He served as head of Richard Nixon’s Mississippi campaign in 1968.”

His use of psychopathic means to maintain control - using Democrat fear-mongering tactics in minority areas to control an election outcome shows a willingness to move beyond accepted bounds of political campaigning into a level of crazy that marks him as a classic case. Oh, yes - he practiced law...

“Upon reading this article, I thought I had just read Obama’s biography.”

The control issue, whether you can defend yourself, whether you can drink sugary sodas, whether you’re required to pay for somebody else’s birth control, that’s the Democratic party at its core.

Instead of teaching kids how to wrap their wrascal in a wubbery wrapper before before getting it on...

Maybe we should teach children about the exuistence of psychopaths and how to spot them.

Would do a hell of a lot more good, especially in the long run!

Anyone who's read Rules For Radicals fully understands that Saul Alinsky was a pure psychopath so that pretty much makes his followers,which includes the entire hierarchy of today's Rat Party,pure psychopaths as well.

“Measurement – Formal measurement of psychopathy is performed by a trained professional using Dr. Robert Hare’s Psychopathy Check List – Revised (PCL-R), consisting of twenty-one items such as pathological dishonesty, parasitic lifestyle, and irresponsibility. Not all of the items are required to assess a psychopathic condition.”

A few months ago there was an article about a very simple way of identifying a psychopath: Yawn. Most people will yawn when someone around them does it. That’s empathy. Since psychopaths lack empathy, they don’t have the same response. Of course, you can’t use that in a court of law, but it’s a good way to test people around you. You’ll know who to keep an eye on.

0bama also had no father figure and a mother who dragged him all over the place and then handed him off to his grand parents to raise. This is common to many political psychopaths.
