WTF Is the difference between "Change" and "Reform?"
The GOP couldn't impress anybody with John McCain's "experience," so they ended up looking in the fucking Thesaurus and basically using the SAME theme, different word....all while deriding Obama's message as "rhetoric."

WILL SOME REPORTER SOMEWHERE ASK THEM WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHANGE AND REFORM?

5. the GOP loves the word reform
Bush promised to 'reform' social security - by killing it.

He promised to 'reform' the tax code. In other words, take away its progressivity and call that 'reform'.

It's pure marketing. Take a policy which benefits rich people or corporations and sell it to the idiot masses by calling it 'reform'. It's like a political sub-prime loan. Just sign it and don't bother to read the fine print, and then act surprised six months after the election when you have lost your house.

To quote Dennis Kucinich

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

7. Reform has been the GOP's buzz word for a while now.
They've been pushing it since Reagan.

10. The difference
is that as "reform" is more of the same, "change" is same over and over.
