Yeah. I love the amount of effort they're expending, though.

It is pretty amazing. And yet Obama supporters are the ones who being told they are acting cult like.

I have never seen such foolishness. All this unsubstantiated trash, Obama doesn't believe in Jesus, look at the button it looks like a Muslim crescent, his church is racist, his wife doesn't eat fruit, gay sex, selling drugs, he wants to kill live babies, his cousin's father's brother's sister's neighbor's butcher is a terrorist ;) . It just all looks and is rather silly.

That's exactly what I've been saying. The members who have posted so many slimy threads about Obama seem to be the ones caught up in a "cult-like" movement in my view.

So, who's your candidate?
I don't currently have one. But I do know who I will not be giving my vote to and why.

As far as Obama goes, I've seen first-hand the campaign and administration of Deval patrick, the man Obama's advisors openly claim is indistinguishable from Barack. We can't as a nation risk the type of inaction and ammatuer mistakes that have beset MA as a result of Deval. Add that to what appears to me to be Obama's apparent dishonesty and lack of understanding on some big issues and I can't in good faith vote for him.

Give him another 6-12 years to develop a record at the national level, and he may be easier identify as successful or not, but right now, I can't go with him.

but still evil if we use your words, right?

He's a politician -- need I say more?

No, it's not the chanting, but the looks on their faces when they chant. They should have done more cheerful smiley type chants, don't you think? This looks like they've all been they've all been hypnotized. :eek: O-BA-MA :eek: O-BA-MA :eek: O-BA-MA :eek: O-BA-MA

Seriously, don't you think this has a religious, spiritual twang to it?

Exactly.

People have chanted candidates names for many moons.



Remember:

Always has happened. It i not cult-like at all.

In your opinion it is not. In my opinion it is.

In that case, then, there have been lots of so-called "cult-like followings" of Presidential candidates.

Perhaps what was most profound with this particular chanting was the 'deadpan' out-of-it quality to it.

Or perhaps it's your imagination.
