"Every leader who ever ran on change ended up being a Socialist!"
Has anyone heard this line yet? I heard it today. Have heard it before.

I ask them what EXACTLY is Obama supposed to run on after 8 years of having this country run into the ground by Bush? And nevermind all of the REPUBLICANS who are trying to steal that message!

Can these people get ANY weaker? Jesus!

2. Bush ran as a change agent too...
Clinton ran as a change agent. That's what ALWAYS happens when one side has been in power for a while.

19. Reagan with out a doubt
Bush could be an argument, he pushed family values hard along with dignity to the White House. But Ronnie pushed the living be jesus on the change theme.

8. video games cause violence
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 12:31 AM by Poseidan
It's true, dinosaurs did play video games.

Politicians sometimes reach a point of utter stupidity. They need to take a few (thousand) steps back, in order to truly understand the common person.

12. Unfortunately, too many of the common people are completely out of step with reality too.
That's how the out of touch politicians get into office.

18. Just tell them that you sure wouldn't vote for mccain then.
Because he is the newest one to run on Change and he won't even tell what that change is. Why he is probably going to make us the new China or Cuba.

By the way, Teddy Roosevelt is supposedly mccain's biggest hero. I read somewhere that Teddy at one point planned to vacate a country and the populate the place with US citizens. I also read where that was one time the plan for Iraq, to have the place populated by US people and there fore have an American country in the middle of the Middle East. Has anyone else heard about these things? Either of them. My brain is fried right now, but will do a little research tomorrow and see if I can find it if no one knows anything.
