Well, dont stop there now, tell us why... IOW, elaborate please.
There is no cult of Ayn Rand. Just a lot of people who appreciate that she did an excellent job of articulating the best philosophy for a free people and an free economic system, as opposed to communism or socialism, which are currently taking over and killing this country.
If you can't get people to vote for what's obviously best for our country, it's society, and it's economy, it is due to population ignorance, or the outright desire for economic destruction. A significant percentage of the voting population, can't even read, let alone understand different economic ideas and philosophies. If we have to chase those voters to win elections, we might as well continue our current economic suicide and let the fat lady sing.
If you know nothing of Ayn Rands philosophy, read "Atlas Shrugged", it is exactly what communism/socialism does to a country, unless it is beaten back with force. It tells the story of what we are experiencing right now as a country.
There is not simply a competition of ideas at work here. Conservatives represent freedom, prosperity, success and advancement. Liberals represent deception, intellectual imprisonment, immorality, stagnation, decline and death.
There is nothing about Ayn Rand's ideas, that aren't immediately superior to any liberal ideas.

She allows people to practice unbridled capitalism, just like all the Isms allow unbridled government.
Man unrestrained by morality does not improve the condition of man in the world.

There is a cult. It is known as Objectivism.
