Change as advocated by many of these folks is what brought on the past fifty years of republican domination. Remember Kennedy was the president of change and he asked you to consider what you would give up for him and America, and you gave up a hell of a lot these past fifty some years. .. Maybe it’s time for old fashioned sensible government policies. A government that best for the people instead of one where the people are the servants who kneel before our new masters, the politicians.
They want change, and they’ll get it when they empty your pockets.
That video was priceless.
The other day I put a dollar in a change machine, nothing changed”
-George Carlin
The name on the doors will be the only change.
Tax each nickel a dime.
Soon, this may be the new slogan…
“Please, sir, do you have any spare change?”
Dubya promised to bring change to national politics when he got elected… Well, he actually did something in that direction. He used fear as the ultimate tool to control the media and the population. Let’s see if the coming President will fix this legacy.
The really scary part of that video is when you finally realize – those scumbags always say the exact opposite of what they really mean.
Stand by for the opposite of change.
It’s just a sad, cynical video
mashup that really says nothing.
(“Bill Maher” technology). Actually,
two of those candidates do represent
“change”, but whether or not they
represent the kind of change that
people would really want to see
is another thing entirely. McCain
is hated by his own party, and Obama has no large network of infrastucture of cronies with
multiple levels of connections.
An election won by either of them would, in fact, represent an enormous alteration of the usual politics. One kind of misery for another, though, I think.
We are at the end of EIGHT LONG YEARS of perhapst the worst president in US history backed four-square by the corrupt and shameless Republican party.
Any surprise that the key theme is change?
But the GOP line-up for president look like whites-only country club members… even as they talk about change.
NONE of these conservative are going to bring real change.
These are the gang that cheer-led the death of the American middle class — they sure as heck aren’t going to bring back living wages, good jobs, health care for all and free college tuition.
Why all the surprise?
Election campaigns are nothing more than infomercials!
People will buy useless products if they are over priced and marketed well.
To paraphrase Hitler from Mein Kampf: People will doubt the truth of a small lie, but never a big one
Hitler was the first politician to discover the power of election campaigns and telling the people exactly what they want to hear.
Funny isn’t that? USA ‘democratic’ elections are no different then during Hitler’s time – only now the media and delivery is more sophisticated.
Am I wrong with this view? If so how?
Cheers
“Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
–Douglas Adams
Woody Allen had a similar view – He would never join a club that would have him as a member.

TIHZ, that was Groucho Marx. Still amusing though.
Or, as Heinlein put it: “Anyone who seeks elective office should be taken out and shot”.
#13 AZAndy – Yes, you are right…Woody Allen was quoting Groucho Marx in ‘Annie Hall’ if I am not mistaken…
Cheers
