But Ron Paul supporters do, as so do Obama's 2008 supporters. I don't mean that sarcasticly, I mean it as a statement of fact. At this point, the hard core Palinistas, Paulanistas, and Obamaistas look very similar in attitude; "cult of personality" describes all three movements at this point.

Yup.

Just wait. Palin isn't running and when she finally lets her adherents down, there is going to be hell to pay. I expect a meltdown at C4P of epic proportions as most of her followers absolutely believe she is running and can't accept that they've been strung along all this time. Once they figure it out, things are going to get extremely ugly.

One thing that true, lifelong conservatives know deep down inside: NO politician (literally) is worth getting too excited over. Yes, some are much better than others, and some are great. Reagan was truly great. But even RR was not perfect, and conservatives know both by intuition and experience, that you have to have REALISTIC expectations from ALL politicians. Now matter how conservative a politician is, he/she is still...a politician. Yes, we have to help the better ones and we have to try to defeat every Democrat, all the time. But seriously. A cult of personality in any respect is not something that should EVER be on any conservative’s radar!
