Romney has dropped out

I saw this blog on the ABC news site that I found very interesting. It goes along with my dream about the antichrist.

And Obama Wept

Inspiration is nice. But some folks seem to be getting out of hand.

It's as if Tom Daschle descended from on high saying, "Be not afraid; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of Chicago a Savior, who is Barack the Democrat."

Obama supporter Kathleen Geier writes that she's "getting increasingly weirded out by some of Obama's supporters. On listservs I'm on, some people who should know better – hard-bitten, not-so-young cynics, even – are gushing about Barack…

Describing various encounters with Obama supporters, she writes, "Excuse me, but this sounds more like a cult than a political campaign. The language used here is the language of evangelical Christianity – the Obama volunteers speak of 'coming to Obama' in the same way born-again Christians talk about 'coming to Jesus.'...So I say, we should all get a grip, stop all this unseemly mooning over Barack, see him and the political landscape he is a part of in a cooler, clearer, and more realistic light, and get to work."

Joe Klein, writing at Time, notes "something just a wee bit creepy about the mass messianism" he sees in Obama's Super Tuesday speech.

"We are the ones we've been waiting for," Obama said. "This time can be different because this campaign for the presidency of the United States of America is different. It's different not because of me. It's different because of you."

Says Klein: "That is not just maddeningly vague but also disingenuous: the campaign is entirely about Obama and his ability to inspire. Rather than focusing on any specific issue or cause — other than an amorphous desire for change — the message is becoming dangerously self-referential. The Obama campaign all too often is about how wonderful the Obama campaign is. “

The always interesting James Wolcott writes that "(p)erhaps it's my atheism at work but I found myself increasingly wary of and resistant to the salvational fervor of the Obama campaign, the idealistic zeal divorced from any particular policy or cause and chariot-driven by pure euphoria. I can picture President Hillary in the White House dealing with a recalcitrant Republican faction; I can't picture President Obama in the same role because his summons to history and call to hope seems to transcend legislative maneuvers and horse-trading; his charisma is on a more ethereal plane, and I don't look to politics for transcendence and self-certification."

Then there's MSNBC's Chris Matthews who tells Felix Gillette in the New York Observer, “I’ve been following politics since I was about 5. I’ve never seen anything like this. This is bigger than Kennedy. [Obama] comes along, and he seems to have the answers. This is the New Testament."

And behold, Obama met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

The Holy Season of Lent is upon us. Can Obama worshippers try to give up their Helter-Skelter cult-ish qualities for a few weeks?

At least until Easter, or the Pennsylvania primary, whichever comes first...

UPDATE: Let me be clear: I'm not saying there shouldn't be enthusiasm in politics. I'm merely touching on the fact that some Obama supporters' exhuberance seems to be getting a little out of hand. Obama himself joked about this at a Hollywood fundraiser, as noted in Men's Vogue:

“When Morgan Freeman comes over to greet Obama, the senator begins bowing down both hands in worship. ‘This guy was president before I was,’ says Obama, referring to Freeman's turn in Deep Impact and, clearly, getting a little ahead of his own bio. Next, a nod to Bruce Almighty: ‘This guy was God before I was.’”

You know Spring I have a very definitive feeling Barack is going to be elected President.

I wonder what would've happened if they had stuck with that original capaign slogan, "OBAMA-NATION."

:01:

Ron Paul actually pulled 3% here in Oklahoma. I see signs for him everywhere ~ and I also heard Ralph Nadar may make another bid the job, but like you said Spring, who would want it? I'll be suprised if there IS an election. And if there is, I am sure that Barack Obama will win. Gives new meaning to Jesus' words,

"When you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel — let the reader understand — then let those in Judea flee to the mountains." (Matt. 24:2, 15-16 NIV)

Interesting, isn't it?

Never replied to poticky stickical rap, but here goes:

Politically, We are a 3B country: Buffoons, Bombblasting Bigots

We are a 3C country of political cronies: Crooks, Clowns, and Creapy cop-outs

We are s 3D country of: Disgusting, disgraceful, dissappearing act drones

We are a 3F country: Frightening, Freaked out, Fear-mongering fruit-cakes.

"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices.... Government has to make those choices for people"
(From the book "I've Always Been A Yankee Fan" by Thomas D. Kuiper, p 20 - Hillary to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993 discussing her expensive, disastrous taxpayer-funded health care plan)


"You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building I work in. I'm going to start thinking of her as a human being"
-Hillary Clinton
(From the book "The Case Against Hillary Clinton" by Peggy Noonan, p. 55)


"Many of you are well enough off that [President Bush's] tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to have to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."
(Hillary grandstanding at a fund raising speech in San Francisco; SFGate.com 6/28/2004.)


"F**k off! It's enough that I have to see you shit-kickers every day, I'm not going to talk to you too!! Just do your G*damn job and keep your mouth shut."
(From the book "American Evita" by Christopher Anderson, p. 90 - Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of them greeted her with "Good morning."

Is him dropping out a good thing or a bad thing?

Its not strange, Spring that although I don't like Ron Paul's connections at all, his interview with Bill Moyers was fascinating. So was Dennis Kusinich's. The contrast between the two(eccentric conservative, eccentric liberal) is equal to the unified position of both: Our current government are criminally, literally criminally insane, illegal and unconstitutional, so powerful no one has the courage to stop them, meaning the current congress people on both sides also should be removed, knowingly violating their constitutional responsibility to accuse, indict and remove criminal behavior when they reasonably have documentation/counsel that points to it.

We can't even get them to investigate publicly allowing us to watch them at work (also unconstitutional).

A simple thing like revealing Valerie Plane's cia status is the highest crime in the couintry, punishable by death, no lesser penalty. People do not even know their own constitution, including our most respected journalists and commentators (except, in my opinion Bill Moyers, willing to interview at length both "eccentrics, who mentioned the same thing I just did.....) So 3B, 3C, 3D we've become. (notice I didn't give us any A's .........

Spring I love your first typo error (or was it?) Hitlery instead of Hillary!!!!

Free Press pointed out that Hillary was an attendee of the Bilderberg New World fascist group while her husband was our president.....now its hard to even get anything from Free Press worth talking about (able to quote source).....

I'm not sure about these presidential elections...

...Should I even care? O_o
