Newt is a family values Candidate.
He was a Baptist by choice after studying the religion in the 90’s. He even engaged a think tank three years ago to figure out how he could sway the Baptist Women Voters over to his style of family values!
He abandoned wife #1 for mistress and soon to be wife #2. He abandoned wife #2, joined the Catholic Church since Mistress #2 (and Congressional Staffer) wanted to be married in the Church.
Using his power and influence he was able to have his marriages to Wife #1 and 3 annul by the Catholic Church. Eros, he was never married to his first two wives and never the legitimate father of his two daughters.
Now he is squared away with the God of the Catholic Church. A clean slate at last with God. Family Values not in tact....just the guy we want as POTUS....sexist, self-serving, religious Bigot in the White House, not to mention a Narcissitic personal to boot!
Mayo Clinic Description of the Narcissist:
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism
Works for me, where do I sign up?!
Ergo?
Perfect description of the average FR Newt-basher.
You say narcisstic personality disorder with Newt? You may be right. All I know is that he’s become so full of himself since he got the lead, he looks like he’s expecting twins.
Indeed he does!
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, emotional behavior, in the same category as antisocial and borderline personality disorders.
Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:
* Believing that you’re better than others
* Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
* Exaggerating your achievements or talents
* Expecting constant praise and admiration
* Believing that you’re special and acting accordingly
* Failing to recognize other people’s emotions and feelings
* Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
* Taking advantage of others
* Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
* Being jealous of others
* Believing that others are jealous of you
* Trouble keeping healthy relationships
* Setting unrealistic goals
* Being easily hurt and rejected
* Having a fragile self-esteem
* Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it’s not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don’t value themselves more than they value others.
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don’t receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may insist on having “the best” of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.
You just gave me more confidence that the Republican ticket should be West/Bachmann, either way.
