actually military service should be mandatory

I dont think its a cult following as much as people all know what the republican trickle down economics has done. I would say alot of it is what they feel is the lesser of two evils, they know what the countrys state is in..Personally I know there are people I would rather see elected but until we get rid of the two party system its not going to change..To call all people backing Obama a cult is off base.

Many people in the blogosphere and radio are speculating that voters support Barack Obama for purely superficial reasons and are not knowledgeable about his stated policies or what he will do if when elected.

Obama is certainly a made for TV presidential candidate and it appears that is why most people are going to vote for him. It is true his supporters can tell you much about his GQ good looks and his engaging speaking style. You can be sure to be informed that he will bring change. I suppose they mean change from the disastrous eight years of neocon rule. But when it comes to specifics on what kind of change the image becomes hazy and they mostly say, “he will end the war.” or “fix the economy.” If you attempt to inquire further to how this will be done you will be met with a blank stare.

It is amazing that Obama is able to pass as the peace candidate as Obama himself has said he is in favor of expanding the war in Afghanistan and entering a war with Pakistan. And in his speeches he frequently talks about how the young should enlist in the military and that women should be forced to register for the draft.

Obama supporters are caught up in a cult of personality and are not really aware of Barack’s real policies. To show people just how out of touch with reality most Obama supporters are Howard Stern had one of his flunkies go out into the streets of New York and interview Obama supporters on what they liked about his political policies. Specifically if they supported certain positions such as, keeping troops in Iraq, opposing abortion and stem cell research. They do.

The video reveals the disconnect between reality and the personality cult Obama has attracked. Each of the above policies belong to Barack’s opponent John McCain. The Obama supporters are so oblivious to the real state of American politics that they even believe Sarah Palin will make a fine Vice President for Barack Obama.

I never said all Obama supporters are a cult, But they are following a cult of personality. If Obama got up there and presented his speeches, verbatium, like John Kerry... he'd be toast.

This administration has not been following Reagans trickle down, in fact, nothing the last 2 Bushes have done resemble anything Reagan did. Tell me what President in history has grown Government with as much furious, desperate speed than King George?

However, what Obama is proposing sounds to me, alot like the Republican standard of drill baby drill, except it's Spend, baby, spend.

McCain is no better, the difference between the two is where they're gonna do their spending... at the end of the day it's just more money made off the sweat of the American people and off the sacrifice of our childrens childrens childrens future.

actually military service should be mandatory

the likely hood of a mandatory soldier to turn their weapon on the people is less imo

I disagree. Soldiering and warring are not a qualification at any level for the presidency. I believe people on the outside of war see war much better than any involved because they can see both sides.

I think it blows a hole in the fact that alot of people don't seem to actually know what Obama stands for. They're just voting in a form of the Cult of Personality.

Thanks Drivin' I always try to be thought provoking...if nothing else.

I saw him speak in St. Louis Saturday. I went to see him to understand more about him. About 100,000 people were listening with me.

Every time I see him speak and read what he has to offer, the more that I like him.
