They use 'change' in Bubba's first election. Remember 'change is good'

One of the changes Pelosi talked about in '06 concerned the rules on ear marking, includng transparency and responsibility. What she didn't make clear, however, was that she was talking about change for the worse..... Change for the sake of change is meaningless. I'd rather hear people offer concrete ideas. Obama is a man of labels and slogans. Those don't count either.

Yes............."change" is a catchy slogan. Look back and see that it worked in the past, but that was then, this is now. I haven't seen any "change" in how we fund and run our schools. I haven't seen any "change" in how we fund SS. I haven't see any "change" in how we deal with health care or the poor or the weak or the rich or the middle class or anything else. Yes.........the slogan "change" is catchy, but using it doesn't fool most of us because we are smarter and more informed and can look back at past voting records easily.......now.........and we aren't the suckers born every day they wish we (still) were.
