One Nation Under A Fool

The obsession the Bush camp has with "supporters only" pep rallies is worrying me to death! A normal candidate, particularly an incumbent, should be trying to garner all of the votes they can. They have gone through such great lengths to eject detractors or those who may ask a question that he won't like that it sounds like he is not really concerned with getting new supporters. It sounds like he is trying to brainwash the ones he already has. Tell me this verbal pledge isht isn't scary?

"I want you to stand, raise your right hands," and recite "the Bush Pledge," said Florida state Sen. Ken Pruitt. The assembled mass of about 2,000 in this Treasure Coast town about an hour north of West Palm Beach dutifully rose, arms aloft, and repeated after Pruitt: "I care about freedom and liberty. I care about my family. I care about my country. Because I care, I promise to work hard to re-elect, re-elect George W. Bush as president of the United States."

They froth at the mouth if you make the Hitler comparisons but something is definitely afoul. I hope against all hopes that I am just being paranoid but this has been nagging me ever since I read about the first incident of the loyalty oath.
