During the campaign, there was a constant theme of backers of Obama being cult-like in their support for their chosen candidate.
It even reached the talking points of the Paul Krugman's of the world.
I was one of those "cult members" that so many spoke of.
But today I had an epiphany that made me see the light and the errors of my ways.
Being a newly indoctrined convert I must spread the good news...
Sisters and Brothers please join me after the jump so we can fellowship amongst each other...
With all of Senator Obama's nuanced positions coming to light, instead of reading them comparing them to previous statements and thinking critically about them, I have decided to take the opinions of his critics as my own.
After listening to the experts leaders of the Single-Issue who know what is best for us and having told us so many a time, it must be true and that is why I converted.
I mean who cares what a former Constitutional law Professor thinks. I don't care that he has been against the Iraq war from the beginning, or that he's Pro-Choice, Pro-Equal Compensation in the work place, worked with Union members his whole career, willing to fund science and technology for the future, has a comprehensive education policy, supports an open internet, and has an Urban renewal strategy.
No these things don't matter to me because I'm an One-Issue member.
Hence I have terminated my support of Senator Obama, and his nuanced policies to join the cult teachings of "One-Issue" within the religion of Hand-Wringing.
With that said, let us pray the prayer of "One-Issue":
"Our Purity which art in Blogs,
Hallowed by thy Name,
Thy One-Issue Outrage Come, thy HandWringing Will Be Done, With Glenn Greenwald, Paul Krugman, Arianna Huffington as it is in DailyKos
Give us this day to our daily pet issue
And forgive us our Candidate, as we forgive them that support or even agree him,
And lead us not into the White House
But deliver us from Obama
For Purity is either FISA, or the Faith-Based initiatives, or something else tomorrow, forever and ever.
Amen"
So go forth and spread the news of the One-Issue Hand-Wringers. Let us once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory while standing firm on our Pureness...
