Understanding Newt Gingrich & republicans, which I have no sympathy....

Does the word hypocrite mean anything to Newt Gingrich (as well as any of the other cold-hearted, hateful, lying, greedy elitist republicans)?

It was just a single line taken from a post of mine on Huffington Post today, basically just a rhetorical, mostly baiting question more or less on the slimy Newt Gingrich.

Unexpectedly, I received an insightful, yet very scary response in so much as it clearly fits Gingrich and so many republicans - I'm usually at a lost for words at how republicans can be so incredibly hateful, cold, outright look-straight-in-the-camera liars, their duplicity I saw as simply hypocritical I now clearly see as so much more.

Narcissism, I have always understood the definition, however, it just hit me hard for some reason at that exact moment, putting it in a more concise definitive description & perspective for me to see it clearly and giving it a much more effective understanding of why I have such disdain for the fascist, elitist corporatist republicans..... George Bush also fits the description perfectly another text book example, (as distinctly as so many other republicans).

"Not at all. Gingrich is a pathological Narcissist. He believes everything he says,and has no hesitation to lie, cheat, or steal to get what he believes he deserves.
This is one of the most serious and untreatable of the psychological pathologies. Many therapists won't even take Narcissists on as patients because they are so intractable.
Unfortunately, Politics and Board Rooms are full of them. They're successful, not because they're immoral. They're successful because they're amoral....they literally have no moral or ethical code.
Start thinking carefully about who you vote for. They will lie without hesitation to get what they want".

the repukes/neocons/teabaggers. They then go on to manipulate all the fearful and ignorant to do their dirty work for them.

Another word used to describe republicans by another responder to my post - I would assume psychopath fits as well....

Well..here is a good explanation...which is not exactly what I thought it would be.

There may be a couple of minor differences, but they're pretty much the same. Newt was something of a trailblazer for alot of CEOs and politicos who followed and share his disorder (oh, those heady days of the Contract on America).

And for the most part, they aren't wrong. They play people 24/7 and make millions of dollars doing so serving greater powers.

Why would it ever bother them? If you aren't a sucker, you aren't buying it. If you are a sucker, you deserve to get suckered.

Now, have a whole group of these people, and you have The Powers that Be. They rule because no one stops them- aka: divine right.

See how easy that is for them?
