"Change"

"Change..."

May be all we have left in our pockets if certain politicians are elected this year.

Is anyone as tired as me of "change" as the political theme this election cycle?

When was an election cycle NOT about change?

Notice there is a lack of any detail about what to change. Do the politicians plan to change everything, even themselves? Hmmmmmmm? For some reason I suspect we voters are being taken to the "change" cleaners again. Even McCain caught the "change" virus and McCain has been in Washington for about 50 years. I fear McCain will make changes to restrict more political speech as he did with McCain-Feingold (we need MORE free political speech; not less) , make more changes to raise taxes (remember, he voted against the Bush tax cuts that fueled the economic recovery after 9-11 and the corporate scandals), and make illegal immigrants more welcome to our welfare system including Social Security.

Senator Clinton says she is the major "change" agent running for President. She claims she is responsible for change already. That's right. Senator Clinton in a previous life raised a child in a village which is a big change. Senator Clinton in her prior life visited 100 countries making changes to all sorts of things. She changed the culture of the White House so that having FBI files of 750 political enemies was no longer a crime, but simply a bureaucratic "snafu". For this we must elect her President.

"No," says Senator Obama. "I am the agent of change because two months ago no one knew who I was and now I am a household celebrity. Vote for me for real change because I believe real change matters and Oprah agrees."

Not to be outdone, Mike Huckabee preaches "change". Change is what allowed Huckabee to lose 100 pounds of weight. Perhaps it was the fact that Huckabee had to start paying for his meals that caused him to lose the pounds. Huckabee is a Southern Baptist preacher and everyone in the South knows how preachers like to eat other people's food!

Change.

I wish someone would change politicians to make them honest, open minded, thick skinned, partisan in a fair way, and agreeable to serve only 12 years in Congress.

That is a change I can support.

After New Hampshire the circus rolls on to other states. Michigan, South Carolina, where does it end, this peripatetic parade of change?
