Default Obama's message of hope and change

I see the Obama fanatics are at it spreading the messages of hope and change.

As in:

I hope I can change the number of states to 48.

I hope I can change Puerto Rico to an independent country by June 1st.

I hope I can change blue collar workers minds after I dissed them.

I hope I can change the popular vote by discounting votes that were actually cast.

I hope I can change the meaning of superdelegates.

I hope I can win large swing states that Clinton has already won.

I hope I can win any large state other than Illinois and change the Texas vote to back me up.

I hope I can change the Electoral College to a caucus so I have at least one point to make towards my electability in November.

I hope I can change Clintons mind and get her to drop out before the SDs realize I cant win in November.

Intresting...I was wondering...What change exactly is he proposing to make...He seems to act like he is some sort of Alien from another planet and above the petty "human" faults all us other poor slobs are subject too.

Being from AZ and one of the only 5 who voted for McCain in the poll......I am somewhat biased....I think McCain needs Sherrif Joe Arpaio to be his running mate...man that team would not take any crap from anyone.


But I forgot...they're too old....lol...they would still kick azz with they're canes.

Here we go...self defense with a cane lol...

You forgot one:

I hope Hillary finally takes 6th Grade mathematics and realizes what the rest of the Country already knows.....that she can't win!

Solid stuff, NEON.

Clinton never cared about Florida/Michigan until she found herself in second place.
Also, do you really agree with her comparing the Florida/Michigan scenario to the elections in Zimbabwe?

Come on

Bingo. Ever listened to his speeches? Change, change, change... and no solid plan. He's selling "blue sky" and frankly, if he does get the Presidential job, I expect him to be dodging bullets within 6 months anyway.

IMO, he's in it for the history books... First Black, oh 'cuse me, "African-American" President...

There are plans and policies, for each of the candidates. You won;t get that from the speeches because TV hates broadcasting policy; it's Serious and Difficult To Analyse.
But it's all there, you just have to go look for it

Actually that's a positive thing in my opinion. I'd think that someone looking to make their place in the history books is less likely to allow his reputation to be sullied.

I see the Billary fanatics are at it spreading the messages of lies and deceipt.
As in:
I hope I can change the number of states to only those I won in.
I hope I can change California to a winner take all just like my dumb ass campaign advisor said it was.
I hope I can change non-white voters minds after I and Billy-boy dissed them.
I hope I can change the popular vote to mean something because it actually doesn't.
I hope I can strong-arm the superdelegates.
I hope I can change the rules so that the states that Obama has already won won't count.
I hope I can keep convincing dumbasses that my lies are actually misspokes.
I hope Billy-boy will stop screwing every skirt in sight.
I hope this body armor that I wore in Bosnia doesn't make my fat ass look any bigger.

Doubtful, Nik. I'd say the RMS America will be sunk by 2009.

This video pretty much sums up our situation (you can probably match the politicians with the film characters fairly well):



Cast

Captain Smith - George Bush
Second Officer Lightoller - Dick Cheney
Fifth Officer Lowe - Carl Rove
Thomas Andrews - Average American Voter
Captain Arthur Rostron - Nov. 2008 Election Winner
Passengers - Citizens of America
Band - News Casters

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/05...y4116567.shtml

Come on
Florida and Michigan not being counted is a huge issue.

Whether or not you think Clinton cared and when she cared has nothing to do with the issue of Florida and Michigan not being counted.



Clinton:

“We’re seeing that right now in Zimbabwe," Clinton explained. "Tragically, an election was held, the president lost, they refused to abide by the will of the people,” Clinton told the crowd of senior citizens at a retirement community in south Florida.

“So we can never take for granted our precious right to vote. It is the single most important, privilege and right any of us have, because in that ballot box we are all equal. You’re equal to a billionaire. You’re equal to the president, every single one of us.”

Loss of votes is a loss of votes.

The DNC has done that. They have discounted the voters of Michigan and Florida.

The voters did not wake up one morning and say: "Hay I think we should change the primary date."

The voters had nothing to do with it.

Fire the leaders of the state parties, suspend them, take away their ice cream, but dont F the voters in the process.
