Hey Mitt Romney - over here, click on this. Got something to show you!

See this? But of course you do but I also know that there is something important you miss. I know you are incapable of perceiving it so let me help you with that.

It's called EMPATHY.

I bet you STILL don't have a clue what I'm talking about, do you?

Look at the photo again....

[IMG][/IMG]

Look closer. Look at Joe Biden's face specifically. I don't even have a large copy of the photo and I see it and feel it!

See what I do now? You can't fake that!

That Mitt Romney, is something you will never EVER in a million lifetimes on Kolob, be able to replicate. No matter how many times you practice it in the mirror, you will never be able to understand what being a compassionate humanbeing is all about.

This is real. This is Honest. This Is Gut Wrenching, Soul Shaking EMPATHY and it is on full display on Vice President Biden's face as he embraces this emotionally overwhelmed young man.

I pity you.

an autograph on a political banner for a famiy member and was unable to make his way to the front of the crowd and a staffer talked to him, set up a meeting in the room you see. The kid was overwhelmed with emotion and the result is this photograph!

At the local level, I'm sure there are decent Republicans who have the normal complement of emotions. I know many.

But those that rise to the national level all seem to be completely lacking in basic human compassion and decency. Such angry, little people.

You either have it or you don't.

I tend to believe that Empathy is what sets republiCons and Democrats apart. Democrats have it; Cons don't.

As hard as the hateful M$M and GOP try, they'll never be able to slander Joe Biden.

He's a good guy and the real deal!

Let's not forget - the GOP is the party that sneers at the whole idea of empathy. Well, hopefully the nation will sneer at them next month.

By showing or having feelings, it just ain't the Bain Way for the tin man, the sorry wretch. Not that I feel sorry for his pissy ass, he needs to be driven into obscurity by getting his platinum ass shellaced. As for VP Joe, he's real, and also cool. Yea Joe!
