The presidential hopefuls fell over themselves this past weekend claiming that they were the candidates of “change.†Hillary Clinton argued that while Barack Obama and John Edwards talk a lot about change, she has a record of delivering it. The public doesn’t seem to be buying it, as Zogby and Gallup polls now put Obama ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire by 10 percentage points and 13 points, respectively. Meanwhile, GOP candidates, who mostly have argued for a continuation of the unpopular policies of the current administration, did 180-degree turns trying to recast themselves as agents of change.

Hillary is having a difficult time with this. However, her difficulties pale beside those of the Republics who are basically ’stay the course’ with their leader.
Except, of course, Romney who, according to his fellow Republics, changes his policies daily.
Prediction:
The “change” mantra will get damn old and tired, by November.
Maybe so Paul; but not nearly as old as “stay the course”
Clinton and Obama are both corporate Democrats. How can they be for change when their employers are the same as any other administration?
What is the point of singing the “change” blues?
CHANGE is nothing more than a campaign chant.
It means nothing coming from ANY of the candidates from EITHER party. Unless you go way down the possible candidates to find a Ron Paul – there will be no change.
It will be business as usual from any of the candidates.
Subsistute the word, “blues” whenever a candidate starts talking that crap.
Everybody sings the blues
sometime,
there’s no exception to the rules.
I promise: BLUES!@!
Republicans Launch Effort to Rescue Clinton Candidacy
Sen. Clinton doesn’t need money, so the RNC announced a three-pronged strategy to help her:
1) Packing Clinton campaign events with enthusiastic crowds of cheering Republicans, “wearing silly hats and hemp-based fashions to conceal their identity”
2) Urging conservative independents to vote for Sen. Clinton on Tuesday, and providing grief counselors and paramedical care at poll exits for those who comply
3) Luring former President Bill Clinton into campaigning for Sen. Obama instead, by offering him $10 million and a “hip posse of Hollywood A-listers”

Hillary, or impeachment of bush jr. were the last vestige for the Republics. Unfortunately for them, they will get neither and this election will be based on a new direction for the nation.
Hillary dances. Tap dances.
Tap, tap, tapping away!!
Dancing across the political floor,
about to fall off the stage,
with change for change, for change.
Miss About Face, two-faced, and lost face.
Dancing across the political spectrum,
changing opinion, changing her mind, and
two-stepping into history.
Voting for, voting against, being supportive,
not being supportive – every issue on the table.
Where does she really stand?
Nobody knows.
new direction for the nation.
Phantom
What is the new direction Phantom?
Can you please sing a few bars?
Please tell us:
What will change?
What legislation will result?
What will get enacted?
What will change for the American people?
Give me a few sound bytes of what this “change” thing is all about?
I’ve heard the hate bushy for years.
Now let’s hear a new song.
Does anyone know what’s in it?
If bush can antagonize Iran enough to get them to take a military action, all bets on an election are off!
If you don’t know, I’ll not waste key strokes explaining it to you.
You couldn’t if you wanted to Phantom.
Because if your true socialist agenda became known before the election, it wouldn’t happen.
Start with the $5000 educational account for every baby in America.
Move on the $1000 retirement account.
Any more promises?
Oh yes. Attack the “evil” corporations.
(But not a clue on what the involves or how you’d do that.)
Oh yeah. We aren’t gonna study war nomore…
Clueless.
I like Senator Clinton more and more. Edwards not so much after he attacked her.
If Obama is nominated I will likely vote Green if he does not get bloody knuckles on the GOP nominee.
I love this new format with the names first.
It makes it so much easier to scroll over Kitrell, Black Hawk, Regular and all the other sock-puppets.
It is easier to scroll over CapnAmerica.
He appears to be the blog’s self appointed whiner and complainer.
A tax-raising populist running first on the Repub side and status-quo Hillary running third on the Dem side–the big corporate capitalists must be gagging on their foie gras.
Exhibit A–Econ “change is going to get old come November.” He wishes!
eConJob, the American people have had a test of whether they like tax-breaks for the rich and war without end or not.
The verdict is in–they don’t.
What happened to those “obligations” you had in January, JM?
Hey, I just thought of something . . . those obligations weren’t in MISSISSIPPI were they?
You know Kittrell, the Democrats will change things.
Change, you know different.
Specifically, I have heard them say:
-It’s time to turn the page to a new chapter.
-It’s time for a change!
-Let’s change the world!
-Ch, ch, ch Changin!

THERE YOU HAVE IT KITTRELL!!! This is the detailed and comprehensive Democrat Change Plan to Change America.
Hillary should go do some of that touchy feely stuff, do some blue collor or clerical job, like maybe run a cash register or something.
But, does Hillary know how to make:
CHANGE???
(And do so without crying?)
Last year in the Bar Association show they did a skit savaging both Hillary and Kathleen Sebelius. The line was Kathleen trying to teach Hillary to be likeable. It was hilarious.
OMGosh, Max is on to us Democratic supportors.
How could he know that our first act when we seize the White House again is the TAX MAX ACT.
Anyone with the name of “Max” will be taxed 110 percent of all income.
You’ll have to take out a loan to pay your taxes, Max, and you’ll never be able to pay the loan off because the more money you make, the more impossible to pay your taxes.
It’ll be like one of those black and white movies in the fifties. You’ll come home one day after a hard day at the office, and your kids will have red armbands and neckerchiefs. They will tell you that you’ve been reported for not following “party doctrine” and that your house and all your assets will be confiscated and given away to intravenous drug users.
Oh, I almost forgot . . . we confiscate your guns first. If you fight back, you get shot down like a common criminal and held up as an example to others.
Yup, the TAX MAX ACT. Making America a socialist paradise, that’s the Democratic Party’s “final solution.”
:roll:
Changes mean we will raise your taxes. Carbon credits will also be forced upon you and you pay for blue sky.
Poor “george” –
Poor sad, misguided “george.”
The only income tax “increase” any Democrat is talking about is to let Shrub’s give-away to individuals earning more than $250,000 die its natural death, as agreed to by Congress when it was passed post 9/11.
Somehow I suspect “george” is not in the $250,000-per-year bracket. Limbaugh, on the other hand, is. So’s Bill Orally. They’ll get you all riled up about *their* taxes going up.
Keep up the good fight, “george!” Keep paying higher taxes so Rush and the Reich Wing pundocracy can pay less!
“We’re saying that for America to get back on track, we’re probably going to cut that short not give it to you,” she said. “We’re going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.”
Hillary Clinton on 2001 Tax Cuts
Hillary trying to be human?
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4097366
Note how in this “intimate” moment, she takes the opportunity to put in her tag lines against her opponents “some of are ready on day one, and some of us aren’t . . .”
Uh-huh.
Very genuine tears GMC70, Sen Clinton cares!
And here’s another Likeable Clinton Clip:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=K3DeCLPwxXI
Sen Clinton can Change and deliver Change, and then Change some more, because she can’t Change enough:
Changeable Clinton Clip:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=m30SLRQA7XE
Hillary cannot be the candidate of change. Bill and Hill are relics of a time gone by. When I saw them on stage with Madlynn Albright, I saw a bridge back to the last century. I am not interested in going back to the 1990s. It is time for a new future for America. It is time to pass the torch of leadership to a newer younger generation with new fresh ideas. A year from now our long national nightmare will be over as Bush leaves the stage (hopefully he trips and falls on his way off it). A new day in America will rise and the darkness upon our land shall cease. And with President Obama, it will truly be morning in America again.
This is longer, but go to the 9:00 mark and watch the last 60 seconds of Sen Clinton in the NH debate.
Note the Sen Clinton Eyes Bulging with ANGER!!! at around the 9:36 mark.
Also note, Edwards and Obama calmly sitting there watching Clinton E-X-P-L-O-D-E !!!!
I think they found a few ways to get her goat, and have Sen Clinton expose her true inner self. And that inner self of Sen Clinton is very scary indeed.

Yes of course you dislike Obama to the point you will vote for Cynthia McKinney. Cynthia will appreciate your vote too- as she counts it with the 20 others she will get!
That very soulful moment from Senator Clinton today convinced me. I’m for Senator Clinton.
I want to strongly caution those in on the Obama wave. You don’t have to look any farther than this blog and see how those on the right are ok with him.
Senator Clinton is right. This is a pivotal time in our history. We have lost so much to the forces of greed and selfishness. It is NOT a time to reach a hand to the folks with their boot on your throat.
Sorry, but I’m sick of the Bushes and the Clintons running this country for the past 20 years. I’m ready for a change, and anyone would be an improvement over what we’ve endured the last seven years. It’s time to bring the country back together towards a common goal. I want someone without the “us vs them” mentality.
The more I learn about Obama, the more I like him.
Um Mary?
Are we just supposed to forget those last seven years? Are we supposed to forget how they HOUNDED Bill Clinton, the best Republican President of the 20 th century? Just take our losses and shake hands?
No. I don’t consider the other side fellow Americans. Most times I don’t even consider them quite human. You work with them you end up working FOR them. And they aint nice management.
And listen to THEIR side sometime. To them, bipartisanship is losing.
Only reason people like Huckabee is because of his charisma, non evangelicals anyway. Ron Paul is the most moderate, he has mostly moderate conservative views and a few liberal views. Are freedoms and rights extreme views? Is building our Homeland defense extreme views (real homeland defense) not capitalist expansionism military industrial complex offense. Is patrolling our borders extreme views? Is keeping petty drug users out of jail saving tax payers billions of dollars extreme views. IS RON PAUL REALLY THAT F’N EXTREME.
And are any of the candidates on the right talking about bringing the country back together? Not that I have heard of.
Ya got Paul who wants to do away with ALL social spending. And the rest of them are just like bush or worse. There is no talk on THEIR side of unity or diplomacy.
During Saturday’s debate Hillary made a statement that may very well lost her support. The statement was the obvious but could cause her to stand out in a effort to show her capable of being President. “I would be the first woman President of the United States. You can not get much more of a change!”. Otherwise saying a vote for me is a vote for a woman. Not that I would change anything, which so far there is little indication she would be any change from G.W. Bush.
There is no candidate who has been under fire from so many for so long as Senator Clinton.
The only person who gets more grief is george bush and he LIKES it. The more people that hate him the better he feels he is doing the job.
Unity? JR, that cannot happen when you have those who want to be Free pitted against those who want Socialism.
You need to gain that realization right now, that those who work for a living and support themselves are NOT happy to be paying higher and higher taxes to support those like you who choose not to support themselves.
Taking my personal assets, that IS taking my Freedom.
Let me repeat this, because you Liberals do NOT get it: TAKING ASSETS FROM THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED HARD TO EARN THOSE ASSETS, IS TAKING AWAY THEIR FREEDOM!
And I will fight to the death to oppose those who would take my Freedom from me.
I will also fight to the death to support those who are fighting for their FREEDOM too!
You Socialists, cannot win your war against Freedom, unless you are able to disarm us!
LONG LIVE THE 2ND AMENDMENT!
Let Freedom Ring! Let Freedom Ring! Thank God Almighty! Let Freedom Ring!
Poor Sen Clinton has been under fire.
boo hoo
And she cried today on TV.
And she wants to be Leader of the Free World! And the Most Powerful Human on Earth – The President of the United States of America.
And she isn’t even tough enough to survive the Presidential election campaign.
Many are called. Few are chosen.
As my brother would say: SEMPER FI!
To you Socialists, IF you are Able and Willing to fight to death to take my Freedom, IF you are willing to fight to death to take my Assets, then:
MAKE MY DAY!
Yeah “Max”
I’m self employed. Except for my son being on SCHIP I have no government assistance. bush killed SCHIP.
You think YOU are free? The minute you punch in in the morning you are a slave. A compensated slave with a few rights, but a slave nonetheless.
You are so wrapped up in you and your self and your guns you don’t even KNOW what it is to be a “conservative” anymore.
And I will fight to the death anyone who forces me to live on my knees and in fear as you do.
The American dream is dead because of people like you who dance to someones tune so they will toss you a few pennies.

BEST President of the 20th Century?
My God JR, do you NOT know history?
Even your beloved Dem party would chose FDR, wouldn’t they?
1. WWII and leader of war, death, and destruction!
2. Founder of American Socialism.

YES! Senator Clinton is a GIRL!
And BECAUSE SHE IS A SHE, BECAUSE SHE IS A GIRL,
I MUST VOTE FOR SEN CLINTON!
Yeah, that would be a big frickin change.
Stupidity has now been defined.
Read before you react Max.
I said Bill Clinton was the best REPUBLICAN President of the 20 th century.
FDR was the greatest President of all. He SAVED America from what you so want to make it. A collection of desperate population clammering and fighting over crumbs dropped from the table of the super rich.
Hey JR, my 3 kids are not on WELFARE, which is what SCHIP is.
And Bush didn’t kill it, he just voted for it.
Yeah JR, how’s it feeeeeeeeeel to be a welfare Daddy?
You are SUCH an INDPENDENT self-reliant, and most-valuable human being.
Self-employment, hmmmm…
Probably a good strategy for you JR.
Max?
A nation that gives its people nothing will shortly become a nation of people who have no desire to give the nation anything back.
Oh, now JR thinks Clinton was a Republican.
Ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t tell his wifey! She’s a D-e-m-o-c-r-a-t!
You bet it is Max.
An under the desk jockey like you is NOT what I aspire to let alone respect.
Grow those kids up to go fight for YOUR America.
Better yet take your guns and your fear and get an island.
JR, go read Flags of Our Fathers, and tell me who this “Nation” is.
The Nation, JR, is the People.
The people in Flags of Our Fathers, worked their asses off, they were self-reliant, and they put their lives on the line to maintain FREEDOM for the rest of us.
Over react JR?
Read the book. (IF you can.)
The island described in Flags of Our Fathers JR, is called IWO JIMA.
Get your own island if you can.
The men who fought for America and took their islands in the Pacific, EARNED them.
Unlike you.
JR, just wants islands GIVEN to him.
Why don’t YOU go read about Teddy Roosevelt?
HE was the last respectable Republican. And he quit the party.
This nation was BUILT by giving things you dunce! The railroads were given HUGE tracts of land. Settlers too.
I aint thrilled how it was done or who it was done to.
And don’t lecture me about the people who built America. My family was here before there WAS a country.
You are confusing a “nation” with a collection of individuals.
Yeah people have fought and suffered and died for lots of things. To people like you it’s all for sale.
And the sad thing is Max, you don’t even know you are on the wrong side. You are right about the border. Don’t you SEE how this country is circling the drain of the highest bidder??
“The Nation, JR, is the People.”
First intelligent thing you’ve said.
People are more than blots on a ledger Max. They are more than “human resources”.
And one last Max.
Where is YOUR sides candidate calling for unity or diplomacy? See all the people on my side SO eager to work with you. Show me your side giving any back.

You are on the wrong side as much as Max. You dont admit the wrongness of your party. You ignore the facts. The right side is none of the above, throw all bozos out. You are less wrong than some of your buddies because you are willing to vote Green and most of your buddies are stuck on Blue.

——————————————————————————————————–
Any other students of history out there who disagree with JR.
Given things.
Yeah, right.
Tell that to the people who immigrated to this country, bought their own land, worked hard to support themselves, migrated by covered wagon over distances you dare not travel on foot yourself, much less with a family and all your possesions too!
Tell that to all those who worked their asses off to EARN what they attained.
Things were GIVEN to them! By who?
And who decides who got what?
JR’s Vision of America, the Government Giving Things to us!
Fairies, JR, you MUST believe in fairies!
I’m waiting for James Cagnie to roll in here and sing “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy” …. between JR and Max posts –
Kev becareful it appears you have the power to wake the dead!
Student of history and genealogy here Max.
11th maybe 12th generation American.
You?
See? If you go back and LEARN? You will find that early colonists were granted land.
Ok that doesn’t count. It wasn’t “America” yet.
See the Oklahoma land rush.
See the grants to the railroads.
Oh but that was a long time ago.
See the GOVERNMENT pay to clean up the environmental mess that business makes.
But let’s us go back to those early Americans.
How long do you imagine they would have survived if they thought as you do? You know, only about yourself? They worked together.
SOME of my ancestors came here as land serfs there Max. Some rich guy in Europe was granted land and my ancestors came here to make money on it for them. Kinda like now? Except the settlers gradually demanded more and more self governance and less allegiance to who was paying the bills.
See: American Revolution.
This nation invests its money more than the next 2 dozen nations combined in its military.
What is so wrong with it investing just a bit in its own people?
Read before you react Max.
I said Bill Clinton was the best REPUBLICAN President of the 20 th century.
FDR was the greatest President of all. He SAVED America from what you so want to make it. A collection of desperate population clammering and fighting over crumbs dropped from the table of the super rich.

I think some social programs are good, I think we should take care of the disabled, the retards, the senile, and children. Howerver, we shouldn’t take care of illegals, fat people, moms poppin out babies for welfare, and we shouldn’t be housing petty drug offenders in prison. Drug dealers yea, but why do we have some drug users spending 25 years in prison for multiple drug offenses when you have someone that got only 15 years for vehiclar manslaughter while drunk driving. Non violent crimes should be treated minorly, unless its armed robbery, and those people shouldn’t be in prison rotting ther souls away with our tax money.
I just think we need to draw the line between people that need help, and people that need to help themselves.
MAX — EVER HEAR OF THE HOMESYEAD ACT?? THOSE SETTLERS DIDNT BUY ANY LAND!! C.F., OKLA. LAND RUSH — SO YES — MANY CAME HERE FOR FREE LAND!!
NOW — DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT — LOOK IT UP FOR YOURSELF, SINCE THATS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL BELIEVE IT!!
I have no idea what Max’s or JR’s or several other’s comments have to do with the stated theme of this thread… But thought I would put ih my two cents worth :roll:
Well, damn, here comes the sock puppet ballet… and its not even midnight!! Geez!!
Good night; good luck; and God bless; whatever you conceive God to be!! Blessings All!!
Happy Nativity (Orthodox & Coptic Church)
Happy New Year to all!!
That is HOMESTEAD ACT Max… Google it… You can do it… Youre a big boy now… Go ahead and try… I am not playing your stupid game tonight… Just go Google it, Max… And then maybe you might want to apologize to JR…
Oh and as to posting all day?
I have one nic. How many do you have?
Please stop yelling. The WE needs to permanently ban anyone who posts in all caps!
Senator Clinton sure put Billo in his place!
Just saw the video.
Sorry about the CAPS… I have no feeling in part of my left hand, and at times, I hit the caps lock key… Geez… Get over it!!
That is the most far-fetched and practised crying from a woman as I have ever seen.
Hillary is playing you all for being stupid. And stupid is what you are if you believe for one moment that the taped recording showing her crying and talking about the issues facing America – is anything real.
It’s all fake. Fake baked.
That is Hillary and Bill in a nutshell. Fake and baked.
And you idiots fall for that crap?
How stupid can you really be?
Hey!
Can you libs please have someone take a digital photo of your faces?
Not the entire face. We don’t want anyone to think we need to identify you.
Just the foreheads.
I want to see how many of you really do have STUPID tattooed on your foreheads.
Come on! Post in support of Hillary’s video with tears.
STUPID!!!! In big bold letters.
My My the BIG Chief proves to the world:
Ya cant fix STUPID!!!
Congrats to LSU Tigers!! I was rooting for Ohio State, but LSU simply out played those boys from the Buckeye State!!
Not one lib buying the latest Clinton lie?
Come on! SOMEbody support her fake tears.
Ya gotta love it. Please send in your forehead
shots to the weblog to publish.
Senator Clinton proposed a baby bond for American infants.
Well the right jumped all over that. They are all for babies getting born. After they are born not so much.
The right SAYS they are “pro life”. Huh, why do they oppose health care for Americans? Only SOME Americans should live and be healthy? Those who can afford it? Gotta keep the mortuaries in business and the poor climbing over each other for survival to service the rich?
Ron Paul is the only change. All of the others are simply more of the same with a great smile and good hair. If you still believe in the pandering and baby kissing and the talents of lying while looking at you dead in the eyes, by all means, sleep well.
