1. Yes, inspiration is soooo 2007......
now, we move into the desperation fad. That should be fun! :sarcasm:

I'm starting to realize why Democrats can't seem to come up with anything that works to win elections. They denigrate everything, and are usually left with nothing! :eyes:

3. Please re-read your posts for the last several weeks
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 04:29 AM by LeftCoast
and then talk to me about how 'they denigrate everything and {we} are usually left with nothing!'

A little self-reflection on your part might do some good.

12. I wish "Change" was more than a slogan.

15. You mean like a "Change We Can Believe In"?
The fact is we don't know which candidate would do the best job of delivering change.

From my perspective, Obama makes the most convincing case, based on what he has already done in the past, his analysis of what is wrong with America and what he is promising to do in the future.

As much as I hate the Republicans, I think Obama would unite the country in a way that Hillary or Edwards cannot. They present themselves as fighters for the blue team. Obama believes in putting country before party.

10. That is hilarious!!
All this change stuff is quite funny. Like someone is really going to go to Washington and change the entire system. What a joke. It is impossible to believe those words because it is impossible to do. Thanks for the toon. I love it!!

13. Rall gets it. "Change" is so generic this campaign - GOP-ers use it too
I bet Reagan used it too ;-)

14. Goes to show inspiring rhetoric can be used to serve many causes
And Obama's is far from the worst cause out there, in my opinion. :D It's funny how that works, though.

29. Yep.
Tom Cruise made a vid for the Church of Scientology. It was "leaked" last week to YouTube.

Rall's cartoon is the dialog from the video.

The church sued it off of YouTube, and in retaliation, a hacker group declared war on the church.

I use (anti-)Scientology lurking to supplement my current diet of Clinton/Obama flaming. It'll put hair on yer chest!

:evilgrin:
