Why do they collectively groan when Hillary! says “change”, when Barack says the same thing over and over? What freaking change? Why can’t they elaborate on that? Why is “change” automatically good? I can’t remember the rhetoric being so shallow as it is now, from the candidates, the mediots, or the so-called moderators of the debates.

The whole dem field are running on platitudes.

In 04, Kerry campaigned on the theme of 'a different direction'. He never specified what that different direction was or what/where it would lead. But he was always advocating 'a different direction'.

[They are meaningless rhetorical catch-phrases that sound good. And it isn't much different than the many candidates suddenly embracing the catch-phrase 'secure the border'. Notice that few go on to explain how or what they would do to 'secure the border'.]

say until after he won the office. Snake oil anyone?

“What freaking change? Why can’t they elaborate on that? Why is “change” automatically good?”

That’s what I don’t get. Just “Change?” What kind of change? Are they just going to click their heels and the world will become a better place? “Change” is not a plan. Change is something that has to be fought for, and implemented. And change just for the sake of change is always, always always a bad thing. The only thing Obama could actually accomplish as president, other than surrendering to all of our enemies, would be to place even bigger liberals on the court than Hillary would.

My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This type thinks that there literally is no way to do worse than the current president!! I simply think of a local man who recently told me that he had invested a large part of his retirement money in the stock of his employer, a company whose stock has been on a downtrend for almost twenty years. He bought at thirty eight cents a share, his reasoning was,”It can’t go any lower”. Since then the company has been delisted from the New York exchange and the stock is trading below fifteen cents on the pink sheets. Some people are just not too logical.

There should be some way to prevent people who call for unspecified “change” from entering a voting booth. They probably should be kept away from sharp objects.

When I hear her say things like this, it reminds me of the salesman who is not cut out to be a salesman who, after attending a seminar on using buzzwords in order to push a customer's hot button, goes out and starts stringing those buzzwords together.
