Fuck it, I'm starting an Obama cult
I've been an Obama supporter for about 36 hours, and today I learned that I have a "cult mentality" simply because I caucused for my 4th choice candidate last night. I guess the definition of "cultist" has changed since I last looked it up because "Supporting a candidate for President of The United States" just isn't one of them.

But you know what? It kind of makes me feel a little bit evil inside. I'm a bloody freaking cultist! Can human sacrifices be far off? Maybe I can even cast spells on Hillary so she'll lose! :evilgrin: :eyes:

What other unknown powers might we unlock?

---

For the record I'm very happy for both our candidates and I'm not a cultist. I support a candidate, just like you do.

10. Can I be an "Obamababie"
I'm 43, but I look "young" according to Newsweek.

Can I be an honorary member?

2. Then you're not a cultist
But have you read any of the "conversion stories"? Team Obama is actively promoting them, telling their team leaders to avoid policy and stick with stories of individual "enlightenment".

--p!

5. No, I've read his policies and listened to him speak
I chose him over Hillary because I like his ideas better.

12. I totally understand.
I, too, voted for Obama as my fourth choice. I'm tired of all this talk of the cultishness of Obama supporters.

But I'm also getting tired of his avoidance of issues and specifics.
