Actually 2025DPlaza from the studies I've read many cultists come from backgrounds that discourage objective thinking and healthy skepticism, and the reason they target young adults is you are correct in that MOST are searching for something to believe in, but only SOME are malleable in their belief systems.  However to say because young people who support Obama because they want, and believe change are irrational and cult-like is extremely disingenuous and fallacious.

Nope, I'm a 38 year old lifelong democrat high-school dropout from a poor broken home upbringing who makes more than 50K a year. Figure that one out. Oh and I support Obama.

Far as your tired old cult meme goes, who has the dead-end supporters following her to the bitter end in defiance of all evidence and rationality? Christ, you're a douchebag.

I hope those pearls are strung upon some Hearty Cord indeed, because you sure seem to enjoy clutching them!

Howard Dean is planning on reenacting his famous scream when Øbama announces he is nominee to herald the END OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS WE KNOW IT! I can't wait to see it.

And the Republican party put forth good ol' McCain who is a great person, he spoke at my school and I got to ask him a few questions afterwards. But he doesn't have set ideas on a ton of issues. In multiple interviews he has flipped his stance on certain ideas in the same interview. That is the last kind of person we need in the oval office.

are all working to increase their hegemony in the world.

Socialists have made great inroads in America and the result will be a redistribution of wealth. Steal from the rich to give to the poor.

This kills the incentive, the profit motive, for people. Everyone will work for the government in some capacity in the future. We will slowly become like the USSR when they all "pretended to work, and the government pretended to pay them."

The US is quickly descending to a 3rd world country.

Back in the 90s, when the decisions were promulgated to become a global economy, the decline of America began. There is a finite amount of wealth in the world. As the rest of the world comes up, the US goes down. More money there, less money here. Oversimplified I know. But true. It is less true now that other economies depend upon America. Chinese and Russian and Middle Eastern and European interests

[PreetSG]

China, Russia and all other places are still dependant on the US for their economy. There is a saying here : If America coughs, Asia collapses. That is true for the whole world. Look at BNP Paribas and other banks who went to their knees recently. As for our education system, we must not scrap it, we need to get more involved in it. Learn from Asia in this matter. US does not take education seriously enough. If US can survive Bush for 8 years, we can survive anything.

From the inside. Yes. Look at our choices. Two socialists and one nutty old guy in the race fro President. Those are our choices. (We are screwed).

From the outside we have economic warfare conducted by China, Russia, the Middle East, some South American countries. Some European countries.

Improve our education system We should have bulldozed it in the 60s. Worthless waste of money, our public education system. I think of Paul Simon's song "Kodachrome" every time I hear "education".
