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.

{YAWN} Another tiny hyena chimes in with distortion and hyperbole.

You guys can't understand anyone who doesn't follow the "My candidate and my candidate ONLY!" philosophy, can you?

And it angers you that you can't bully people into seeing things your way.

So, you engage in conjecture, a little fiction and innuendo to work in some unfounded insults and to prop yourselves and your lame arguments up.

You all pretty much have the same MO, and to be honest, it's really quite boring.

I never even accused you of cult worship, but here you come out of the blue, yapping some kind of nonsense.

You know what they say about throwing a rock into a pack of dogs (or hyenas) and the one who yelps the loudest, right? ;-)
