Default The new catch phase "Change".

WTF? Everyone candidate is now talking about change. But nobody has come outright and said what it is they want to change. So I think these candidates better start defining change or they are gonna lose the publics confidence and then we'll be stuck with another bozo for four more years. Oops typo in my heading sorry.

Negative.. I'm pretty sure the Repubs will slaughter them in the debates because this phony change for the sake of change will get blown out of the water.

Now thinking of how nobody watches debates...

Hello? I've been saying this for months.

Maybe you people should start listening to me more.

And I have a feeling we'll be stuck with a bozo either way.

You really should CHANGE the title of this thread. The period is supposed to go inside the quotation marks.

Yeah, Paul is obviously a nutjob. What kind of crazy old man goes around making exceptionally valid points in public?

It's definitely going to the catch phrase for 2008. You can bet it's going to continue until November.

Ron Paul is a career politician whp has been in Congress and a Washington insider for over 20 years...Check his voting record. He has not stood out as a beacon of change as a member of The House, where all spending bills originate

Yes, do check his voting record. You'll find a lot of bills that went 434 to 1, as he stood alone for the Constitutional position. He has absolutely stood out as a beacon for change; unfortunately very few have followed the beacon, as in most places the same corrupt incumbents keep getting re-elected with little worry about ever being held accountable for their actions. His record shows consistency and integrity, but limited effectiveness as one lone Constitutional advocate among Congressman. As President, he would have *far* more ability to implement adherence to the Constitution than he has now.

change? there is no change. None of these candidates are anything but mouth pieces for the same old parties that have run this country into the ground.

you might change from one dumbass with a religious dogma, but only to another dumbass with some equally stupid dogma based not remotely on reality.

As long as you're willing to waste a vote on these hacks, you'll never get change. You'll get the same exact thing you hated already, just dressed up in a new embarrassment.

It's my goal this year to not waste my time stumping for just another zero with a campaign fund. If I can do anything- I want it to be getting people to put a little more value in their vote.
Demand more. You're getting pretty much the short bus kids running for president, and people are actually willing to vote for them?! For fuck's sake people, is THAT all you think your vote is worth?

Sure there is the childish "if you don't vote you shouldn't bitch" dogma trotted out by the feebleminded. But if it comes down to it, and I'm sure it will- NOT voting is my bitching. It is my protest against the lowlifes the parties are trying to hoist upon us.

My vote means entirely too much to me for me to piss it away on any of the candidates before us. Not one is worthy of a vote...mine, yours, the illegals that vote......
I cannot in good conscience vote for any of these people. There are all embarrassing in the extreme. Half can't even get on board with 11th grade science class, much less run a country.

It's perhaps what we need- NO ONE show up to vote until they bring us real candidates, not this band of muppets. I've spent alot of time on the 'you have to vote' bandwagon, and frankly, it's dumb.
I won't vote for someone I don't want to lead this nation, and not a single one of these tards even comes close to convincing me they should be allowed to use sharp utensils at the dinner table, much less command a nuclear arsenal.

No one is harsher on me than me...I voted ever since I could. But I voted more for the lesser of evils than because I think any of them are worth a wooden nickel. Part of the reason we have this cosmic nightmare of an idiot in office now was because I cast that vote. Not FOR him, but AGAINST the other idiots running.

Well no more folks. My integrity and my vote aren't for sale. You are the candidate I believe in or you won't get my vote. Too much by too many have been sacrificed for that vote, and I ain't giving it away to these morons.

Change? Yeah right. Not as long as you play their game and settle for the village idiot to cast a vote for. A vote for Mickey Mouse at least doesn't harm the country the way this pack of crooks will.

i can't believe the retardicans are even using it.

obama can bring big change internationally, but no one else will change anything domestic. if anything, major gridlock with clinton and further downward spiral with another gop (not that 4 more years is possible...we're not THAT stupid)
