The problem is, the PEOPLE are hurting.

And they are panicking.

Their ears are RIPE for cult like talk.

Down and outers are most susceptible to charismatic cult type figures, either in religion (Jim Jones/Koresh), politics (Hitler), or other (Manson).

The unfortunate, cold, TRUTH of the matter in 2008 is that the People do not want a President, they want a SAVIOUR.

This is the mentality of millions of Americans. They are ripe for it. These times in history occur from time to time. We are in one of them right now. Not much can be done to stop it.

Well, that’s kinda pathetic because we haven’t even begun to see “hard times” yet...

Then why isn’t Obama up 20 in the polls? He has the entire media establishment lying for him, celebrities galore, etc.

Something is keeping Obama flat. We saw it against Hillary, and now McCain. I think Obama has an air of slipperiness that is causing pause in the electorate. People like to watch train wrecks called celebrities, but wouldn’t want them to have their finger on the (nuke) button. Why?

If that were true, Palin would not be the big attraction. People want Conservatism.

We need to abandon this socialist traitor, get behind the House Republicans, demand a new Contract with America, and push HARD for Conservatism in the House and maybe the Senate. Change the control of the House leader to Pence, and hopefully a majority, and we have done a whole lot to save ourselves.

Probably true but we also hear of these upper middle class, advanced degree holders who are anything but down and out but are in the tank for Obama. I can understand the losers but why the Volvo drivers, is it just idiotic white guilt?
