Last night McCain said "Reform Washington." Obama said, "TRANSFORM"
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 08:21 AM by rateyes
Washington. And, there's big difference. "Reform" means tweaking government. "Tranform" means changing the way the government does business.

Reformers don't believe that much is wrong. Improvements can be made, but let's not make any fundamental changes, is the idea. And, why would Republicans want a transformation. Washington works for them, the rich and powerful. Republicans start wars so that they can profit financially from those wars. Republicans privatize the public sector to get more and more for themselves, and say, "to hell with the poor and working class." They don't want change. The system is tilted in their favor.

TRANSFORMERS knows that the way government does its business is screwed up royally, and that unless there is real change, the country is in deep trouble. The government doesn't work for the common person. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and the middle-class is disappearing in this country. The rich get more and more work from the middle-class and the poor, and pay less and less for it. Why would they want to change that?

Yes, McCain says, "reform." Obama says, "transform."

Vote Obama.

2. McCain's kind of reform means more of the same with different people
They would move into the White House, change out all the people and continue the same failed policies.
