4. Whatever. Why don't you do the classy thing; disavow the cult smear and concentrate on real issues? |

I can't believe the reactionaries on this site anymore. I feel like I'm back in the fucking Nixon era.

5. Shows how cynical people have gotten about leadership. |

8. Movements have a purpose.... |
|
Beyond electing some politician who makes campaign promises based on single word slogans.
You know, the *Civil Rights* Movement, the *Womens Rights* Movment.
Not the Candidate X Movement.
Anyway, I thought Obama disliked the "excesses of the 60's", lol.

13. There is going to be a "change" in who is in the White House, period |
|
Bush is leaving office.
Someone new will be there.
No one can claim that mantle.

10. We usually reserved the word "movement" then to describe |
|
wide scale sweeping and ongoing work to reverse an entrenched and specific set of social wrong, not to differentiate support for one political candidate over another with similar platforms in an election campaign.
