27. "People want politics to change, not just policies" -- ROFL!
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 07:40 AM by HamdenRice
So what is "change" other than "change in policy"? Ending the war in Iraq, ending warrantless wiretapping, enacting Keynesian economic policies, replacing warmongering with diplomacy, restoring due process in criminal trials, ending extraordinary rendition, ending torture, closing Guantanamo -- all these things are the change in policy I voted for.

What is change that is not change in policy -- a pony for every citizen? Free candy in every subway car? Rainbows every day? Obama to wave a wand and make the Republicans both rational and nice so "politics" change?

:rofl:

Hint: The government works through policy, not magic.

Dag, I cannot wrap my mind about the way some people think about politics and policy.
