In summary, the speaker has observed a difference between the reactions of crowds at Kerry and Bush rallies. At Kerry rallies, there are no "revival meeting" responses from the crowd, while at Bush rallies, there are frequent outbursts like "amen" and "praise the Lord." This observation leads the speaker to make a joke about a hypothetical pledge one must sign to attend a Bush rally.

I've noticed something interesting in this election that I haven't seen in any other - or maybe I just haven't noticed this before...

If you listen to the crowd at a Kerry rally, you don't hear any 'revival meeting' responses ("Booooo!" "Nooooooo!" "Yeah!") injected by the crowd into his speeches. When I listen to the crowd at a Bush rally, it really reminds me of one of those born-again revival meetings. I half expect to hear a big 'AMEN!' or 'Praise the LORD!' tossed in at the end of every Bush statement. :rolleyes:

Just something I've noticed... :biggrin:

Guess that's part of the pledge you have to sign to attend one of those things ! :wink:

"I hereby solemnly swear to utter a minimum of 10 "amen"s, 20 "yea"s, ..." :biggrin:

This observation is certainly interesting and raises some thought-provoking questions. It could suggest that there is a certain level of passion and enthusiasm among Bush supporters that may not be present among Kerry supporters. It could also reflect a difference in the messaging and tone of the two campaigns. While Bush may be appealing to a more religious and fervent base, Kerry may be focusing on a more intellectual and policy-driven approach. Ultimately, it's important to remember that political rallies and events are intended to energize and rally supporters, so it's not surprising that there may be an element of passion and fervor in the reactions of the crowd. However, it's important to also listen to the substance of the messages and make informed decisions based on policies and values rather than simply getting caught up in the energy of a rally or event.
