Reminiscent of communist China, Cuba, or Korea
Take a group of those most innocent and least able to develop their own thoughts about important things, and make them your spokes people.
Pretty sad, really.

Yeah, good thing no politician's ever exploited children for political gain before:

Spare me the mock horror. I've already read it, a thousand times over, on the blogs:
http://minx.cc/?post=274521
So spare me the talking points. Tell me something you honestly think, or feel, instead of reflecting someone else's manipulations. Talk to me about the race. Convince me I should support your candidate, whomever that may be. All this other stuff just sounds and feels like the worst kind of back fence gossip. Or the glurge my Mom still forwards to me in the email, expecting me to be horrified at the latest outrage.
Maybe my capacity for horror has just gotten worn out by the last eight years.

Obama's not exploiting anyone here. But it is *creepy* and *weird* how fanatical some of his supporters are. If this was a video of Palin's kids acting in some church musical, Palin would be a laughingstock - yet this is somehow normal?mrkelley23 wrote:Yeah, good thing no politician's ever exploited children for political gain before:

I wasn't critisizing Obama or others supporting him or saying "Vote for McCain". I wasn't saying "These are the only people in the US doing this."
Nope, I didn't say anything like that. Just pointed out something that struck me as creepy and sad.
And before you go and post some video with small children singing "Jesus love me", I have no creepy fellings about small children singing about religious stuff, no matter the religion (unless they are singing "Death be to all infidels, strap a bomb on me")
That's what makes this so creepy and sad. These parents are worshiping Obama.

Better than the chicken broth you've been drinking. You are so scared of Pailin you'll do anything to try and discredit her. I've not seen a single thing you've posted saying why Biden is a reason to vote for Obama.Bob Juch wrote:What flavor Kool-Aid do Republicans drink? Sour lemon?
Yet, you have no shortage of reasons you believe we shouldn't vote for McCain because of Palin.
Your shorts are showing and they are soiled.

Palin isn't a reason to vote for McCain.
The thing I'm scared of is that Palin might become President.

You're just scared because Obama is different than you. He's one of "those" people. You hate the thought of "those" people coming up in the world.

That is almost accruate. I also fear how he will do what he's promised. I think SSS is concerned about that as well.
