		<description>CHANGE IS IMPOSSIBLE.

LOBBYIST INTERESTS OWN THE USA, 1000%.

FOR CHANGE TO HAPPEN , WOULD REQUIRE 535 REPLACEMENTS IN THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, AND ABOUT 2000 REPLACEMENTS IN THE JUDICIAL BRANCH, ALONG WITH A LANDSLIDE SWEEP IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH...... WITH ALL 2550 OF THESE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO SOME OVERRIDING AND TOTALLY COHESIVE VISION.

SUCH COHESIVENESS MIGHT BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE VULCAN MIND-MELD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOES NOT EXIST.

BARRING THE SCENARIO I OUTLINE ABOVE, ALL YOU GET IN THE NATIONAL ELECTIONS, IS A STAGED REALITY SHOW, WITH THE WINNER GETTING A USELESS CELEBRITY RECORDING CONTRACT.

		<description>Obama is a joke. He sounds like he&#039;s being coached by Tony Robbins. Obama has become an emotionally-pleasing and patronizing motivational speaker who&#039;s all fluff with no real substance. And the fools are gobbling it up and lining up to go broke with their &quot;champion&quot;. But hey - they&#039;ll be happy, warm and fluffy when the United States goes bankrupt. 

Obama is just a puppet for David Rockefeller and his Council on Foreign Relations. How much change can we expect from someone like that? We can probably expect another orchestrated stock market crash and another depression if Obama or any of the other CFR monkeys makes it in there.

The only real change will come with Ron Paul.</description>

		<description>****************
America is broke, Uncle Sam&#039;s Credit Card shopping spree is reaching its limit, and the war bonds are gonna come due. If the government were a private business with people that were actually accountable for longer than 2-6 years, the scandal would make Enron look child&#039;s play. 

The American Education system has bred adults who cannot even do basic math like balancing a checkbook. Expecting them to notice that every dollar in circulation is someone else&#039;s debt payment. Rolling the old debt into new debt is the only way to pay for of debt, compounding interest is working against. 

The government is not a business that produces money, it takes it from the economy it. When foreign owners of American bonds have a fire sell, uncle sam&#039;s credit card will fail to work.

		<description>Only Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich would offer real change. The rest offer only sound bites and business as usual.

Watch this revealing video: all the major candidates other than Paul and Kucinich have named advisors who are not only old guard, decidedly ensconced in the establishment, but also linked to atrocities around the world - including Obama and Hilary. 

http://www.democracynow.org/2008/1/3/vote_for_change_atrocity_linked_us

Vote for change? That means voting for someone who has not taken as their advisors people who would be in jail now if the Nuremburg trials were held, or simply, the murder laws were enforced. 

Obama&#039;s key advisor, as announced by Obama himself, is none other than the man who likes to be called &quot;Zbig&quot; - google Brzezinski, CIA, Mujahadeen - the Machiavellian &quot;realist&quot; who spawned Al Queda in order to lure the Soviet Union into their own Vietnam quagmire, in Afghanistan, and later boasted about it to the French press - a man who in his 1994 book, The Grand Chessboard, stated, &quot;To hearken back to a more brutal imperial age...we must keep the vassals weak and divided.&quot; Some change. 

Obama is a slick PR face for the corporate elite, which is why the political right has nothing but fondness for him, as the Washington post observed: he is no threat to established power and privilege. &quot;We can work with him,&quot; said one. Hillary is different only in that she is a bit less polished. 

I think that thinking people generally dismiss Hillary as a plastic hollow black box of very questionable integrity. Obama attracts more thoughtful people, and thus needs examination. 

Please see: 
http://jtoddring.blogspot.com/2007/04/my-buddy-obama.html

The neocon clones on the Republican side are of course laughable, or would be if they weren&#039;t also very, very creepy. Only Paul and Kucinich stand out from this pack of Mandarin servants of established power. Please people, do look at them. There, is real hope for change.

And your cartoon - Well put! Awesome.</description>

		<description>Even with Ron Paul, the largest proponent of and for change can get a little grating at times. Each candidate always promises change. However, I am not seeing Pauls name anywhere it cartoon.

		<description>Change... and nothing happens.  Romney promised change as governor of MA, and it ACTUALLY CHANGED for the better.  

He says change in America, looking at his track record, I believe it.  The others, well... same ol&#039; same ol&#039;.</description>

&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;How come so many sites have Ron Paul supporters. Yet he &gt;&gt;barely gets any votes in the the past 3 primary states &gt;&gt;races?

excellent question.. but you wouldn&#039;t like the answer.. and its now what Internets says.. because if you saw footage from NH, Ron Paul had the largest number of supporters out on the streets.

So the question is where are the votes? well where votes were hand counted, surprisingly Ron Paul received a much higher percentage of votes and followed the projections of previous polls, than where they were counted by Diebold machines.. which defied all projections and statistics.. 

not the answer many would like, even many Ron Paul supporters who probably need to be treated like this by the media and the corrupt voting process to come to their senses that the &#039;change&#039; Dr. Paul wants to bring wouldn&#039;t come through the ballot.. that part has already been taken care of by those in charge..</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a shame that all of the candidates have co-opted part of Obama&#039;s campaign pitch. He has plenty more than this throwaway catch-phrase to work from though. It should be fun to watch all the candidates try and steal everything Barack comes up with. I just hope the American people can recognize the genuine article when it comes down to Super-Tuesday. McCain makes the Republicans better. Clinton makes the Democrats and the Republicans worse. Easy choice.</description>
