are very vocally going down with the U.S.S. Clinton?

What's up with that?

My main objection to Obama was his religiosity!

Is it Mary worship?

WTF?

1. Thippit.
I *highly* doubt Mary Worship, due to the lack of people worshipping Obama as Jesus.

My first guess is statistical noise and my second guess is social factors.

2. I don't know about any specific posters but...
There does seem to be a similarity between the zealotry of the devoutly religious and some people's devout support of their candidate.

I guess if I had that kind of zeal, I wouldn't be on my third candidate by now. :)

3. What the fuck are you talking about?
I'm not a Catholic. I see Obama as an electoral disaster waiting to happen, to say nothing of an administrative one if somehow he is elected. Am I on the U.S.S. Clinton too?
