Actually, it comes from a psychological study of what makes authoritarian leaders and their followers tick mentally. The study was done by Bob Altemeyer who received the The American Association for the Advancement of Science prize for Behavioral Science Research CLICK. You'de like to think all this was fabricated. Do a little research on it.

And I'll top it off with this...

Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is a personality and ideological variable that is defined by three attitudinal and behavioral clusters which correlate together:

1. Authoritarian submission — a high degree of submissiveness to the authorities who are perceived to be established and legitimate in the society in which one lives.

2. Authoritarian aggression — a general aggressiveness directed against deviants, outgroups, and other people that are perceived to be targets according to established authorities.

3. Conventionalism — a high degree of adherence to the traditions and social norms that are perceived to be endorsed by society and its established authorities.

Krypton, I get the fact that Obama rocks your world, and that you blindly follow him while being aware of his lack of character and leadership. I can't blame the hype that all the college kiddos have created.

You're zealousness really amuses me. I don't support Obama just for the hell of it. I support him because I reject the right-wing authoritarianism of the Republican Party, of which, John McCain represents that ideal. But I wouldn't expect an right-wing authoritarian follower such as yourself to understand that..

I think the headline from Fark sums this up..

As he plans not to open any offices in Indiana, that makes four states - including Montana and the Dakotas - that John McCain is letting Barack Obama have to himself. Ask Hillary Clinton how ignoring "the small states" worked for her

quote:

Obama setting up shop in Indiana Campaign opens its first offices in the state, while McCain has no such plans The election is four months away, but for now the score in Indiana is Barack Obama, 6; John McCain, 0. Zero campaign offices, that is. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, has opened five campaign offices -- in Evansville, Fishers, Fort Wayne, Muncie and South Bend -- and will open a sixth in Bloomington on Monday. Jonathan Swain, a spokesman for Obama's campaign in Indiana, said plans are to have 25 to 30 campaign offices in the state. It's part of a push by Obama to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Indiana's electoral votes since Lyndon Johnson did so in 1964. In addition to the offices, Obama has run campaign ads in Indiana -- one of 18 targeted states in which he has done so -- and has brought in staff to run the campaign here. McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, is taking a different approach to Indiana. Some might call it confident; some might call it laid-back at best. Asked whether the campaign has any plans to open an office in Indiana, campaign spokeswoman Leah Yoon -- who is based in Michigan, not Indiana -- had a one-word answer: "No." Jay Kenworthy, spokesman for the Indiana Republican Party, however, said that while there is no office, there is a new phone number at the state party headquarters for people wanting to contact McCain's campaign: (317) 964-5042. (As far as we can tell, that doesn't spell anything cute, or even his name.) In addition to opening the offices in Indiana, Obama's campaign is trying to send a signal of unity. Among those Democratic leaders participating in the ribbon-cuttings was former Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Joe Hogsett, who had been a key supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's. Hogsett was at the office openings in Muncie and Fishers, a town that is considered a GOP stronghold. Swain -- who also worked on Clinton's campaign before Obama clinched the nomination -- said the image of unity is real. "The primary was the primary," he said. "Now we've got a candidate, and we're behind him." http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.d...67/1008/LOCAL19

Could you see McCain if in a debate Obama would ask him this nice little FACT??

McCain Defended Opposition Of Federal MLK Holiday By Saying He Supported Arizona’s State Holiday. During a press availability in Panama City, Florida, John McCain said, “I have supported hundreds of pieces of legislation, which would help Americans obtain an equal opportunity in America. I am proud of that record, from fighting for the recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday in my state to sponsoring specific legislation that would prevent discrimination in any shape or form in America today.” [McCain Press Availability In Panama City, Florida, 8/1/08] * FACT: McCain Supported Republican AZ Governor’s Decision To Rescind MLK Holiday. ABC News reported, “In Arizona, a bill to recognize a holiday honoring MLK failed in the legislature, so then-Gov. Bruce Babbitt, a Democrat, declared one through executive order. In January 1987, the first act of Arizona’s new governor, Republican Evan Mecham, was to rescind the executive order by his predecessor to create an MLK holiday. Arizona’s stance became a national controversy. McCain backed the decision at the time.” [ABC News, 4/3/08] * FACT: McCain Supported Gov. Evan Mecham’s Decision In 1987 To Rescind Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, “In a vote likely to haunt him for the rest of his public career, McCain voted against 1983 legislation establishing the third Monday in January as the federal holiday marking King’s birthday. Back home in Arizona, he supported Gov. Evan Mecham’s decision in 1987 to rescind an executive order creating a state holiday for King, but later reversed his position.” [Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/16/08] * FACT: McCain Voted Against Creating Martin Luther King Holiday. In 1983, McCain voted against a motion to suspend the rules and pass a bill to designate the third Monday of every January as a federal holiday in honor of the late civil rights leader, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The motion passed 89-77. [HR 3706, Vote 289, 8/2/83; CQ 1983] He’s tried to back pedal that this was some youthful ignorance on his part, but he was 48 years old when he voted against the MLK holiday. As much as I’d like to characterize 48 as youthful–and trust me, nothing would make me happier, that just isn’t going to fly. http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/...day-in-arizona/
