They All Want "Change"

"Politicians, like diapers, need to be changed frequently, and for the same reason. The problem is, in short order, the need arises again. (Sign me unenrolled and frustrated.)" I've heard this said before, and with good reason. All politicians (mostly Democrats now, since Republicans have either controlled things or stopped the Dems in their tracks), say they want "change," but they never define what they mean by "change," and voters respond favorably without ever knowing what "change" is to a specific candidate. Fortunately, since they all are saying they want "change," wanting change doesn't motivate as many people as it used to. Both Hillary and Obama say they are "the candidate of change," but predictably, they don't define it. But I know what they both mean: "Change," to them, is movement toward socialism, whether or not either knows it (Hillary does). Look at what both propose, and what they vote for, and it will become obvious. (Boston Globe, 1/9/08)
