OBOMMY: The Obama movement was chronicled in a rock opera in the 70's
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 04:29 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_(rock_opera)

"We're Not Gonna Take It" - Tommy demands that his followers blind, deafen and mute themselves in order to truly reach their spiritual height, but the heavy-handedness of his cult and the exploitation of its followers by his family and associates cause his followers to revolt against him. Abandoned by his followers and worshippers, Tommy gains a new enlightenment. This is also the path the movie takes.

9. It's not just about Obamaism -- it's all such groups
When the Obama-maniacs lose their religion, the fall will be hard.

Barack Obama does not deserve this kind of rep, but he's got to take stronger action to keep it from happening. The money and adulation may be nice, but they have a tendency to bite the recipient in the ass.

At this point, the danger is still small, but things are happening fast. Now that he is no longer the underdog, perhaps some passions will cool to the point where that zeal can change into deliberative political behavior.

16. Let me apologize
That was a wonky post. I did not realize the thread would turn into a partisan "discussion" instead.

I meant what I wrote, but I wrote it in the context of analyzing and discussing the cultish behavior that has occurred. My apologies for any confusion this may cause.

Now ... back to the flaming!

:evilgrin:

15. You should have seen Ann Margaret
roll around in the beans.

You had to have been there to understand that Tommy has nothing to do with Obama.

But, you have to admit, both Clinton and Obama will engage voters. Obama has engaged the youth to vote Democratic. Clinton will engage Republicans to go out and vote against her whereas with Obama as the candidate, they are okay to not vote this time around.

Not my words. Just what I've been hearing.

35. He won't
He doesn't mobilize Republicans nearly so much as the Clintons. I've been visiting with them a lot, having a lot of them ask me who I'm going to support (such interaction is inevitable coming from where I live). And repeatedly I've heard, "I'll vote for a Democrat as long as it's not Hillary."

Just the facts.

40. I know what you heard on the radio
I heard it too that older women were voting for Clinton. It's just not what I'm hearing on the street or in the homes. I'm hearing that older women are voting for Clinton, yes, but it's mostly at gatherings of active Democrats.

38. I win
I have men and women.

And, interestingly, it's the "libber" women I'm hearing won't vote for Clinton (Clinton's peers). I find that surprising given it's the first time we libber chicks have had a chance to vote for a woman.

20. That's just fucking retarded.
I'm sorry, I don't even like to use the word "retarded" as an insult, because I am close to people with disabilities, developmental and otherwise.

But still. Your OP is fucking retarded.

24. Actually, I think the correct spelling is "retarded"
unless that's a deliberate misspelling.

43. Here's a musical for Hillary.



and from this thread...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4464068

"If I could turn back time." should be the Clintons' theme song, rather than "Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow."

We can do better than to have a third term of their co-presidency.

45. oh for fuck's sake.
your obsessive hatred for obama is pathetic and sad. don't you have something BETTER to do with your time?
incidentally, you are the only DU'er i've seen who is big enough an asshole to have an avatar designed to specifically insult a dem candidate.
