That was the intent of my questioning your insulting but laughably inaccurate literary reference. But you weren't even savvy enough to discern that so you just made yet another silly and unfounded accusation.
See, this is what you fail to understand. Not everybody has a candidate to worship. You people going around talking about "your candidate" are just like the Paulbots. You project and think that everyone has an object of worship and obsession in this. And you attack anyone who appears not to be on your little worship-bus.
The truth is, because we lack that worshipful stance, we are able to look at this with a more rational, unfiltered approach.
I like Governor Perry. I also like other candidates and have repeatedly said on here that I will pretty much support anyone but Romney, Paul or Huntsman.
But that doesn't fit your little hate-clouded image of me, so you make stuff up and then get even uglier when you fail to meet my challenge to support your empty claims.
I don't knit.
And you're a sore loser. :-D
Sigh. I just knew you weren’t going to get that knitting reference...
Honestly, the most clouded vision is to be found among those who most highly regard their own objectivity. Everybody believes their own beliefs are correct and true. That’s why they believe them. Why should that be transformed into this bogus argument of cult worship?
Which, BTW, I take very seriously. God will have no competition. Idolatry is really bad. So when I hear people say that, because I sincerely and energetically like a particular candidate, I am somehow a cult worshipper, I just cringe. Elections are won and lost on enthusiasm. If we win in 2012, enthusiasm will be a central reason why. Yes, enthusiasm can lead to errors in judgment and an unwillingness to apply the rules of critical thinking evenhandedly. But that does not rise to the level of idolatry, and I sincerely wish we could all show each other a little more grace under pressure. We need to win in 2012, and we will need both enthusiasm and each other to make it happen.
