Nebulous Promises

We don't hear much about hope and change these days. We only hear about Bush - pathetic excuses, like, "everything is Bush's fault." Or this interesting one: "Bush did it so its okay that I do it." Huh? I thought you guys hated EVERYTHING Bush did.

But what happened to the hope and change people voted for? First those are awfully nebulous promises to vote for. Did anyone ever explain what hope and change meant? No? I didn't think so.

Using meaningless but heart-grabbing phrases is a ploy. Non-thinking people sieze them, embue them with meanings they want to hear, and vote for them. It's easier than ferreting out the facts.

You think that isn't a fair assessment? Then please define the hope and change promises. And then show me it means the same to everyone who voted for it; show me that's what the candidate meant.

There is a lot of disappointment in the air lately, and we hear little about Hope and Change. Why? Probably because everyone's bubble dream, everyone's interpretation of hope and change, has burst. But who can say any promises were broken? We don't even know what we were promised!

The candidate was like the infamous bills recently signed into law. Vote for it and then find out what it means.

OofDah! Next time, let's find out what the promises are before we vote.
