My vote initially went to Ron Paul. Paul is about radical,needed,change. Seeing as how Mr. Paul is not even close,I went with Obama.

My question is...

For those who support Obama and this "change", what does CHANGE mean?

I would like to know.

discuss.

I'll tell you what it means. Let's say we go out to dinner. Your waiter does a fantastic job. He brings you the bill, you pay it, then take the waiter's tip, walk outside and give it to a homeless guy. The waiter looks pissed and you explain that even though he earned that tip the homeless guy needed the money more. So there is your change

***S14DB*** · 11-04-2008, 08:59 PM

Well when the LMNOP gets control over the ABC we are all screwed.

Don't forget 789...

Unfortunately, no where in his policies does it say you would be taxed more..seeing as you aren't a small business making 200k + a year...

The money has to come from somewhere. With all the fat cats in washington (democrats, republicans, it doesnt matter) and a war on multiple fronts, they'll raise taxes on the middle class. You can mark my words.

READ MY LIPS: MORE TAXES.

I guess we're about to find out what this change really is about, it should be an interesting next 4 years...

**RJF** · 11-04-2008, 09:03 PM

When the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010 everyone's taxes will go up.

And if you didn't grow up during the Reagan presidency don't comment on it. I still remember before Reagan having to do fallout shelter drills in case the USSR attacked and hearing on the news that Soviet bombers were patrolling the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Granted it wouldn't have mattered, but we can all thank him for winning the Cold War and getting both ours and their nukes off hair-trigger alerts.

alright, so big strong reagan saved america from the damn commies, and stagflation didnt happen, and the stock market didnt just crash because a devout reaganomics follower implemented his policies vigoruously.

Second, fear mongering isnt a reason to pick a president, and honestly I trust colin powell's military advice more than rumsfeld, chenny, or captian mccain. Now i might trust Admiral or Admiral Mccain, but w/e.

Third, you lost and that is always fun

Fourth, there is not talk at all about spreading the wealth. There is discussion of sharing the profits of america with americans (not just transnational coorporations or OPEC) but again, when has america ever been about that.

Oh, and gg mccain. RJF, gg as well

SexPanda · 11-04-2008, 09:04 PM

whats GG mean?

And what makes Colin Powell so qualified?

Re: Spreading the wealth - Those were words right out of Obama's mouth.

I think I understand what you are saying.

So, next year when I work every single day, I'm going to lose MORE money to taxes, right?

Or what?
Will I lose less?

I am afraid I will lose more...

No, because the homeless guy will have a job, dear comrade.

Down with the Bourgeoisie!

surreybc · 11-04-2008, 10:01 PM

Change obviously is referring to the skin colour of the people who have power. This is why people were so concerned about non-white immigration. People fragment by ethnic group. Voluntarily allowing yourself to become an ethnic minority in your own country or in the world is madness.

lflkajfj12123 · 11-04-2008, 10:14 PM

i hate the stupid fucking obama shirts oh my god

no racist but at my local college today i saw a handful of BLCKPPL wearing shirts with plastic diamonds that silhouette obama's head

really i didn't think that was of any importance in politics??????

i voted mccain

that is all

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Nope, but it is the truth. The average person is completly uninformed and ignorant.

Hence why Barack Obama is now the 44th president.

lflkajfj12123 · 11-04-2008, 10:23 PM

wat

i have one for that too you're talking about obama

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

So what kind of government does Winston Churchill believe in?

British monarchy?

I know that.

But you quoted his anti-democracy quote, as if democracy was suddenly bad and everyone who doesn't share your political views is an idiot, only because the candidate you voted for did not win.

You wouldn't be quoting it if McCain won.

In my opinion Obama was the better choice and democracy actually worked today, and the idiots did not prevail this time. But that's just my opinion and you may call me an idiot because you assume you're the one who knows better.

Change what.

I am just worried about all the people... the "record amount of people" that vited this year for Obama and "change" when they have NO idea what is even going on.

As far as I'm concerned, the record number of voters is useless. What good is a million voted for a guy if those voters have no idea what is even going on.

Anyways..... I hope the country still stays at the top of the world with this "CHANGE"

I'm not so sure it will....

brian i dont want to sound rude, but do you expect posters and T shirts to have an entire book printed on them about the meaning of his slogan?

if you really wanted to know you would have listened to him speak or at least done some honest research online.
