Not solely. We have a good mix of crazy in the GOP:
Sociopaths (ala Cheney), the narcissistic (Palin), the deluded (Rand Paul) and the bug-fucked crazy (Bachmann)

Indeed. I fear Republicans more than I fear Al Quaeda.

I suspect one of my uncles may be one. Either that or just a garden-variety abusive lout.

Rational. The GOP has done far more damage to America and the world than Al Qaida.

How do I know if I'm a sociopath?
Is that something a sociopath asks?

One of my grandfathers was.
On the other hand, a friend with a pych major gave me a sociopath test for which I tested positive. Gave it to Mom who also tested positive. Yet, I'm pretty empathetic and sympathetic---just able to do logic rather unemotionally. Mom fits that pattern too as does my brother.
Here's the test:
Mary Jane's great aunt died. At the funeral reception she met a cute guy who was a relative of the great aunt, but not a close enough relative to be Mary Jane's cousin. They really clicked and Mary Jane wanted to see him again, but she didn't get his number or address.
Then Mary Jane killed her other great aunt.
Why?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Nope. My psychologist said I'm not. :p

Ask yourself if you give a fuck.
