Changes - Presidential Candidates
.
Wild Thing's comment........
The word 'Change' has been the mantra for this election. It is one thing to use the word but they are using it to cover all topics, all issues and not saying anything else. Just yell out 'CHANGE' and the audience screams back "Yes we can". Just yell out 'CHANGE ' and we are supposed to know how much that covers in what a person plans on doing TO our country and TO US as citizens.
It is lazy campaigning if you ask me. We are not electing a cheerleader, an advertising executive nor a used car salesman that needs to use some kind of slogan to get my attention. But that is what it has come down to in this election. The dems being the principle ones using it more then anyone else. I guess the mentality of the left can only handle slogans and not complete thought. How many times have we heard lately they don't even know why they are voting for B. Hussein Obama other then his energy, he is young and he promises change.
It's been my observation that Obama supporters seem to be content for him to spout empty phrases while they cheer enthusiastically at each new offering. But what are they cheering? There's very little substance. And what little there is, is quite troubling, certainly nothing to cheer about.
Obama is merely this year's tired old retread on a gimmick that has brought the democrats some measure of success in the past. In 1972, voters went to the polls to vote for a guy they knew very little about. That brought us the malaise years, the incredibly destructive Carter administration.
Once again in 1992, we were offered up another governor this time from Arkansas that voters knew very little about. That year they voted in the slickmeister, perhaps the closest thing to a (dixie) mafia stooge we'll ever get. Where do you begin to describe those years, watching the democrats defend a guy for all the 'gates', ( Chinagate, filegate, travel gate etc.) the death list into the 70's or something when they finally left office. And that isn't even all of it that they did.
Here we are again with an unknown. The guy offers up some great speeches if he was a motivational speaker, it's just that they're calorie free. It's as if his supporters see him as some modernistic version of Yoda. When he speaks they close their eyes and rely on the Force. The question is, which side is that Force on? Is it the Alican Skywalker Force, or the Darth Vador Force?
Folks need to read about Obama. If ever there was a guy that folks should get to know before voting, this is the one. The vacant see him as a benevolent sage, but I'm thinking it will turn out to be a more like Derth Maul. The vacant hammer of this year's left.

Right on target, WT. Perfect.
I would add that liberalism has reduced everything, debunked every value, dethroned every God and overturned every norm and code more than a year old.
When you stick radical egalitarianism into this mix of nothingness, you get people who have no natural heroes and no superlatives for anything.
They hunger for something to excite them, and when someone approved by race or sex comes along, and claims to be a liberal, they burst with enthusiasm for him/her/it.
I'll also never forget that the drug of liberalism is change, because the present is never good enough and change is always progress. It's what "progressivism" is about.
Obama is just another stimulant.

We need Obamanation like I need Crohn's Disease!
All he spouts is "change." to what? for what?
What is he going to do to us? I can't vote for someone who I don't know who they are, what they stand for and where they want to take us. I have to know everything up front and so far, none of the existing candidates have told me jack.
Charisma will only get you so far.
The mere fact that people flock to Obamanation like he's a rock star scares the beegeebers out of me.

They sound like a beggar on a street corner, "Change Sir?"
Obama is the American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Celebrity Bowling fad of the moment. Bill Clinton was 15 years ago. Unlike a television show though, the fate of America hangs on our next presidential choice. Sadly, the same limited minds that live for the Oprah Show or the Martha Stewart Show are tuned into the Obama Show now. Mindlessly, but enthusiastically, these sheep are locked into this channel of empty, but feel good rhetoric.

Good point, TomR. Apocalyptic stuff like "Network" and "The Running Man" don't seem so far off the mark. Obama is just another kind of reality programming.

Obama is about as substantial as cotton candy.

Will this be the result of Obama's promised changes? The blind are unquestioningly following the Pied Piper of Hamelin. How soon we forget the demise of South Africa once mob rule took over, it ruined their economy, created a land of anarchy and fell to the Socialists of Muzzy heritage, sorta like the video in many respects.
I had a Norwegian national for a next door neighbor for 15 years, her sister and brother in law and their family were Missionaries in Pretoria,SA, they had to flee for their lives after aparthied was abolished by the National Party in 1990 which ushered in black majority rule, once in power they exacted bloody revenge upon everyone, black or white didn't matter,power and tribal domination were the law of the land, maybe this is the mysterious charisma that attracts the teeming minions to Barak Obama and his promise of change, that "Unity in Diversity" change, that is motto of South Africa and the mantra of the Communist world.
Sounds familiar doesn't it? Like Palestinians and Hamas, Hezbollah or.....simply, how about Obama!!!

Rhod thank you and what you wrote is so true. Your right about it being their drug too. The excitment of change and something different just like their durg culture always looking for some kind sick thrill instead of substance of character.

Lynn, exactly, he would fall apart if you and others on here got to ask him quetions directly and he had to answer.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 16, 2008 07:26 PM
Tom they do your so right.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 16, 2008 07:28 PM
Rick and that is full air just like he is. Thanks

Jack it does sound familiar and like that video that is what his being President will bring more of for sure.

The Death Star II crew agrees with patriot Lt.Col Ollie North who said if the Dems gain control of the White House in nine months... all that's LEFT will be CHANGE... the change in our pockets! And only a few of us get it RIGHT!
