Isn't it amazing that John McCain has stolen Barak's slogan of 'change' all of a sudden?
I firmly believe that electing another republican president will be like keeping Bush in the oval office. America is in a sad state, and we do in fact need change!

Quite ironic. Basically everything that they mocked Obama for was proving to be working, so they decided to steal it! Lol.

Perhaps he figured Obama was only interested in CHANGING the party in the White House and that was it. Since McCain plans to change how Washington works, he could make better use of the word.

There He Goes Again
September 18, 2008
McCain ad misrepresents Obama's tax plan. Again.
Summary
The McCain-Palin campaign has released a new ad that once again distorts Obama's tax plans.
The ad claims Obama will raise taxes on electricity. He hasn't proposed any such tax. Obama does support a cap-and-trade policy that would raise the costs of electricity, but so does McCain.
It falsely claims he would tax home heating oil. Actually, Obama proposed a rebate of up to $1,000 per family to defray increased heating oil costs, funded by what he calls a windfall profits tax on oil companies.
The ad claims that Obama will tax "life savings." In fact, he would increase capital gains and dividends taxes only for couples earning more than $250,000 per year, or singles making $200,000. For the rest, taxes on investments would remain unchanged.
The McCain campaign argues in its documentation for this ad that, whatever Obama says he would do, he will eventually be forced to break his promise and raise taxes more broadly to pay for his promised spending programs. That's an opinion they are certainly entitled to express, and to argue for. But their ad doesn't do that. Instead, it simply presents the McCain camp's opinion as a fact, and it fails to alert viewers that its claims are based on what the campaign thinks might happen in the future.

Man, you really need to be alittle more open minded. Do you really think Obama has the only right to claim to that silly platitude. I think you need to stop believing your own propaganda. You're infected with the thought that as an individual you can't change but need someone else do it for you. Or in Obama's case, create the perception of change

Isn't it amazing that fundamentally there is nil difference between them and both will throw us into a statist mess. If you wanted real change you'd vote for Ron Paul.

But the "change" we need doesn't come in the form of a racist, terrorist loving, inexperienced appeaser like Obama.

About as amazing as McCain going from Self named/Self quoted 'De-Regulator' to 'Regulator' all in a matter of days!

You are wrong, and the whole slogan borrowing thing seems to be working! Stealing sounds kind of harsh.
