Hope is a good thing, and it rhymes with rope and dope
but by itself it's worth about as much as a turd in the punchbowl.

1. By itself, yes.
But if it motivates action it's worth a hell of a lot.

11. Don't pee on my parade, I'm watching Huckleberry win Lousy-anna
:D

:rofl:

What scares the shit out of me is this: There are people who say they would never vote for McCain but really would,
and there are people who praise Obama but would never really vote for him. And the crappy thing is we won't know how true it is until November.

5. "it's worth about as much as a turd in the punchbowl."

7. It isn't by itself. It comes together with sixty-four pages
http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaBlueprintForChange.pdf

And policy specifics in speech after speech after speech, including tonights.

Your talking point, which was bullshit from the beginning, and based of your envy and anger at Obama's ability to inspire, has failed. Get used to it.

10. "We the people" is over twice as many letters but like "hope," it
still means quite a lot.
