Election: What sort of “change” do you want?
MensNewsDaily.com ^ | September 22, 2008 | Roger F. Gay

The candidates from the two most successful parties are competing for the “change” image. Both Washington insiders, they’re running as outsiders who are finally going to clean things up. It’s a powerful message because most voters want a Washington clean-up. But we’ve heard it all before and would be naïve to expect anything less than business-as-usual no matter who gets elected. Neither has made a substantial comment about what needs to be cleaned up or how it would be done. So, it’s up to the rest of us to open a serious discussion if we want one to happen. ... cont.

Well change as Alinsky, ACORN and the Messiah’s socialist pacifism sees it, seems to be working: nationalizing the home mortagage system , undermining our military, using class warfare as a success. It appears that many Americans are ready for socialism. That type of change will be a disaster but hatred of Bush is so strong, that it is overcoming rational thought. RAS and RCP show Obama ahead electorally. That is a fact and unless John hustles, he will lose to this socialist. And then the change we get will destroy America as we know it.

Any man that votes for Obama is either a big puss or a fritcake...sorry to be vulgar, but that is just the way it is.

It’s just getting real old voting for the lesser of two evils. And watching, decade after decade, the pols confiscate and squander unimaginable sums of money while they and their cronies get rich. And then when it all falls down, more taxes and more money.

Pretty funny sign really.

I don’t have a problem knowing who to vote for in November.

I’d like to see the government shrink in size -— lots and lots of moving vans taking stuff out of govt buildings he he.

The govt’s role should be:
1) Defend the country’s sovereignty
2) Print money
3) Handle interstate commerce

For all else, see Constitution. If it isn’t there, send it back to the States. Very easy.
