The Registration Surge

We are seeing a phenomenon like no other these days...The registration gap between Republican and democrat voters is closing faster than it has in years.

Some people will try to blame the low "R" and the High "d" registration numbers on the committee people. I've even blamed Ken Davis for his lack of effective recruiting over the past 3.5 years. Before now, this, in my opinion, surely has been the case.

What, then, is leading the surge, you may ask?

My theory is this: many Republican voters are concerned with the almost messiah-like following Barack Hussein Obama is receiving from the masses. It almost seems prophetic, on a biblical level.

Obama supporters are becoming more and more cult-like in the rhetoric they are spreading about him. There is even a commercial supporting Obama where the people are chanting "O-Ba-Ma, O-Ba-Ma", over and over again, reaching a crescendo at the end that is eerily reminiscent of a "Moonie" rally.

The rank and file Republican voter probably thinks that we need a McCain vs. Clinton ticket this November for us to win. I can't say that I disagree. With the groundswell of support that Obama is getting in the media, both from the press and from the entertainment industry, the "sheeple" are enamored with his pomp and circumstance. His message is just vague enough that people can spin it into something they really identify with, without Obama being too specific. He gets off the hook with the issue of "change".

ABC’s Jake Tapper notes the “Helter-Skelter cultish qualities” of “Obama worshipers,” what Joel Stein of the Los Angeles Times calls “the Cult of Obama.” Obama’s Super Tuesday victory speech was a classic of the genre. Its effect was electric, eliciting a rhythmic fervor in the audience — to such rhetorical nonsense as “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. (Cheers, applause.) We are the change that we seek.”

Empty words that can excite the masses. Fortunately, Republican voters are smart enough not to get caught up in the ObamaMania. And, they mean to do something about it.

They are registering (most, for the first time) democrat to vote for (shudder) the Hildebeast. At least with her as the nominee, John McCain's almost a shoe-in to win the general election in November. A good example of why is showcased on PA Watercooler today.

I just hope that those who change their registration for the primary don't forget to change back!
