In 2004 around election time I was hanging out with some friends. This beautiful girl who lives in a rural area told us her church said if Kerry becomes President it will trigger the apocalypse. This girl and her husband truly believed this.

Pretty backwards, huh? Well then this last weekend again...a friend of a friend who lives in a rural area told me Barrack Obama is actually related to Osama Bin laden and he is trying to hide it. His mom heard this at her church and believes it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I don't vote by party. I am an independent and have favorites on both sides. Sadly my favorites on one side are front runners (Guliani & McCain) while Bill Richardson and Joseph Biden (both i love) don't have a chance.

My hippy friends who were too busy smoking pot to get an education but are really nice loving people...say the President of Iran is a great man and George Bush is trying to murder him. *sigh*

How do people get manipulated so?

This kind of thing has gone on for ages, unfortunately. I remember that my grandmother had heard from someone back in '92 that Ross Perot had a plan to "kill all of the old people".

I'm sure that the AARP actually equates the deindexing of Social Security COLAs to the rate of inflation to a life and death struggle EDE, so I believe your grandmother's friend was correct.

Wow, Eat it Grandpa taking it to a whole new level! Should Ross Perot be the new RJ Brande?

I just find it crazy this stuff still happens. You are right EDE I shouldn't be suprised.

People like this make me consider betraying the human race to an evil invading alien race, should such an alien race ever visit Earth!

Now what's being "beautiful" have to do with it? Or "rural" for that matter? Guess we all can be fooled some of the time [Wink]

Besides... there's no proof that it wouldn't have happened. I know if Doukakis had gotten elected I already had planned my final night of debaucherie.

If it meant he got to have hot head sex with Chip Six every night, yeah, I'm pretty sure he would.

Well the beautiful part...was a compliment. she's one of the most beautiful women i've seen. [Smile] it's a shame she's so dumb.

Jessica Simpson says Obama is really Osama who cleaned himself up. That is whey they can't find him in Pakistan.

Hm. Blockade Boy brings up a good point. For all we know, the apocolypse has been averted countless times. There could be one this election year, and I'm not sure if anything important offices are even up for election!

See, I think the apocalypse has already happened. That's why the news is so full of Rosie O'Donnell and Paris Hilton -- because everything that's important has already passed away.

I wished the televised it. Between that and the revolution, TV has missed some huge opportunities.

Speaking of politics...immigration.

You think the politicians (from both sides) want more immigrants so there is a larger pool of poor people to manipulate?
