video shows the emotional “rockstar” atmosphere the people are partaking in (granted, I’m sure you can see it as polite and respectful admiration, if you like). First section of the text:

“There was a full-throated roar of support for President Bush at a New Mexico rally — adoring crowds and a beaming candidate — the stuff great political theater is made of — and it’s no accident, reports CBS New White House Correspondent Bill Plante.

Said a rally organizer, ‘I wanna hear lots of cheering in there for the president!’

The event tickets went to busloads of pre-screened party faithful — who poured in hours in advance — to be greeted and organized by Bush campaign staffers.

‘We don’t want anybody with a dry throat. We want you yelling for the president!’ they were told.”

even FoxNews wondered about the pre-screening:

I’ve got to go to work now, so I’ll try to find some more (and more recent, although he suprisingly doesn’t seem to be having many town hall meetings anymore) tomorrow when I’m back.

p.s.@Casey Tompkins: not sure who ellison is, but that’s a name or psuedonym I’ve never used. Sorry. My name’s Mike Koughan and online I only go by busboy.

The first half of the Obama for President campaign, in other words, amounts to: “Love me.”

If this strategy should succeed, it will have elevated its man to the highest office in the land on the strength of the sort of emotion that propels lonely women to bury themselves in Harlequin romances. It will be both principle- and policy-free. It will never have committed itself to anything — and therefore, President Obama will be free to do anything, without fear of being accused of having gone back on his word.

The second half of the Obama for President campaign, in other words, amounts to: “Trust me.”

Reflecting on that four-word platform — could the Democratic National Convention force Obama to commit to anything more? — should make any mature adult shiver in his boots. It’s the essence of the Cult of Personality — a pure distillation of the force that raised Adolf Hitler to the rule of Germany, minus that nasty stuff about killing all the Jews. But how many mature adults will go to the polling places in November, if their choice is between Barack Obama and self-worshipping anti-Constitutionalist John McCain?

Pray.

Well I agree W doesn’t engender a “hyper-sexual” response . . . but I haven’t seen any orgies breaking out at Obama rallies either, now that I think about it.
as for the rest . . . really? You haven’t seen the hand picked rallies for the last 6 years, where Bush is asked by almost-crying-in-extacy yahoos why God is so unfair to make him stop being President? Guess those were all doctored videos from the evil Left. Darn that media conspiracy.

If Lambchop wants concrete reasons I suggest he read some of Barack Obama’s rhetoric from his past: 1995 Barack Obama: Mean, Cruel Times, Christian Right - Narrow Minded - As reported by NewsBusters earlier, Michelle Obama debased America by char…
