My favorite Monty Python scene is where Arthur meets Dennis who explains his system of government. Arthur then explains how he got to be King after another peasant observes that she hadn't voted for him.

As I listened to the dialogue, again. I was reminded of nothing so much as Obama. All hype, story and superstition and no substance whatsoever. Even more chilling will be the way in which Obama and the Dems treat those who disagree with them should the nation be so foolish as to elect them.

For all of their platitudes about caring for the people and being the people's champion, the Dems are far more imperial and fascist than the Right ever dreamed of being. They won't just try to convince you they're right, they'll insist you believe it to.

If you dare to disagree, the violence inherent in the system, complete with repression, will immediately follow. Except it won't be as funny, then.
