It is quite dangerous to become emotionally involved with a candidate for political office. It clouds ones judgment and tends to make them tolerate things the candidate does or says that are contrary to the divine image the individual has created for that candidate.

Palin is a perfect example of that blind loyalty, almost to the degree of worship. Would you really climb over “broken Glass”, set yourself of fire, whip yourself with razor wire, or do generally self destructive things to yourself because you idolize your candidate that much?

If so, you need to get help. Politicians are just human beings. They are NOT gods, saviors, angels or immaculate as many of their cult following make them out to be.

If there is any question as to the degree of this delusion, just pay close attention to the degree of evisceral attacks made on other FReepers who have concerns or solid reasons for not supporting that candidate.

The attacks are always deeply personal, angry, rude and quite senseless. And the attacker is especially unaware that they look quite childish and believe they are fully justified in breaking all the rules of civil exchange.

Good grief, sho is a lotta fightin’ goin’ on here.

I make it easy for myself. Both Palin and Christie are half term Governors, neither one is ready to be President.

Neither is Presidential. Both are more infatuated by their image than prepared to be POTUS.

Easy for me.

LOL

Why do you bother using the term 'almost'. You've been smearing Palin supporters as 'cultists' and 'worshipers' for many months.

The attacks are always deeply personal, angry, rude and quite senseless.

You're a mindless Palin-bashing troll who's been going around smearing Palin and her supporters for a long time now. And here you are playing the victim.
