Will someone please tell me what "Change" will be forthcoming under a McCain-Palin administration? They agree with Bush on damned near EVERYTHING. It really doesn't count as change if the only thing you change is the names of the folks calling the same old tune.

Second.........fighting the "good ol' boy" system would be another huge change.

they have never commanded troops...and as a 25 year military veteran, and someone who is not only extremely conversant in what it means to actually command troops, as well as someone extremely familiar with the relationship between the state national guard and the governor's office, I can tell you that, for all intents and purposes, neither has Sarah Palin.... and John McCain has only commanded a squadron, which is a couple hundred sailors. BFD.... I commanded that many on several occasions in MY career.

to give a simple answer to a simple question:

mccain/palin are NOT bush/cheney

as much as you want to make us believe so, they are not. whether mccain voted on similar issues that bush was for or whether palin was for similar issues does not prove they will GOVERN <----- the United States of America the same way.

think about it genius....

hillary and obama were virtually 99% if not 100% on the votes together...but you went for obama because he was more electable. there is virtually no difference between hillary and obama on the 'books', yet you went for obama.

why is that?

Because McBush/Palin have no ideas they can only borrow from the party that has always meant change. So change for them is spin to confuse the voters who pay little attention and are won over by single issues. It is rather ironic that two republicans who are about as republican as you can get are running against the republican administration of Bush et al. It makes one's head spin to think they are really running against themselves and having a jolly old time doing it and acting like it is change. wow

Is this change?

Who cares who suggested change first Midcan - you sound as if you are in a "nanner nanner nanner" game --- I frankly don't care whether Dems or Repubs are promising change as long as they have the cajones to make it happen.

I believe the McCain/Palin ticket are willing to go to the mat to make things happen. Barack will waffle and try to please everyone and end up running in circles (which could be perceived as a change - from the "stay the course" of the past). He will spend his time running around trying to "organize" everything so everyone feels good about themselves instead of making lasting reforms. You cannot make change when you are worried about how pissed off you might make someone.

It doesn't seem to me like Senator Obama offers much change or even hope for change either. He promises all kinds of new taxes and social programs but then in reality as he looks at things... well, we'll just have to take things slow.

Senator Obama is not going to change much of anything except that instead of sleeping with a stuffed elephant for a teddy bear, he'll sleep with a stuffed jackass. And no, that is not saying that Mrs. Bush is a stuffed elephant or Mrs. Obama is a stuffed jackass. It's saying their stuffed animals resemble their party mascots.

Not commenting on the photograph at all, but isn't it possible that because of the location of the horizon, the picture simply looks as if the picture is looking downwards at the other pyramid? I'm no photographer, but it seems to me that sometimes angles can be deceiving in a photograph.

It does seem to me that the background picture is a lot farther than the one that Yurt posted in that thread.

It was twenty six years ago. I went to Cairo to visit George Casey. He and I did the souk and the Cairo museum and a lot of other cool things... I did not know the other fellows very well and have not kept in contact with them. As I said, the night started at a Cairo casino and we had a lot to drink. I climbed Cheops early in the morning with Casey and a number of other Americans. If you don't care to believe me yurt, please understand that I really don't care all that much. I know what happened. I know what I did and what I saw. Believe me or don't. I don't care. OK?

absolutely ok. you said three different things about one event, so i asked a question. is that ok? you once told me i was a liar for getting lieberman's vote percentage wrong even after i said it was a mistake and i did not look it up. is that ok?

of course Immie. I am a liar and I made it all up... right?

I wonder where ELSE someone could be standing to get a picture of Khafre in the background if not on top of Cheops... unless, of course, as you are suggesting, I am lying my ass off.

whatever, my friend. If YOU don't believe me, no one will. I guess I am doomed.

I didn't say I don't believe you.

I don't know. As I said, I'm no photographer. It looks different than the photo Yurt posted, that is all I said. I have no other basis to go upon. Yurt's photo looked as if you could practically leap from one pyramid to the other and to me that just sounds unbelievable, but that is the way it appears. Your photo doesn't even look like Brett Favre could throw a football from where you are standing and get anywhere near the other pyramid.

As for the angle and the horizon, I didn't think that sounded like I didn't believe you.

mnost americans are sick of the policies of George W. Bush and McCain promises four more years of them.

no he does not. he will not govern the same and has not always agreed with bush. so it is simply not true to say it will be the "same." i guess obama will give us 4 years of hillary clinton....

90% the same is damned near the same.

Hillary has not been the president.

near the same is similar, but still not the same. all you have are policies to make them similar, using that logic, a vote for obama is a vote for hillary clinton.

that's the only thing you all have, is McCain is another George Bush..you guys evidently don't feel confident enough to just run on your PLATFORM you are so fond of saying the Democrats have....why? because it is SOCIALIST, and people don't want it...
and I wouldn't be counting your chickens just yet..things ain't looking so good for you all lately..Your boy wonder seems to be having a meltdown..

No need to mention that, it was obvious in your post.

I wish I had taken it. I'd love to see the pyramids.

yes change....

to expand bush's grants to religous groups...

to promise to take public financing and then change his mind and go private...

to promise not to vote for fisa and then to change his mind to vote for it...

sounds like a continuation of bush on 1 & 3

I know that I looked down over at it when I stood at the top of cheops with the american flag infront of me as my pal George took my picture. The fact that you would find it odd is expected.

it is not possible to look down on something that is taller than what you are standing on..........

khufu / cheops is 138.8 m. and is the one you claim you are standing on

Khafre is 143.5 m and sits on a 10 m base and is the one in the background of you avitar

Obama would LOVE To have a debate on the issues. McCain wants to have a debate about lipstick. I wonder why?

If McCain's policies would trounce Obama's policies in the court of public opinion, why do you think he would avoid talking about them?:laugh2:

if one uses a wide angle lens, things in the background seem smaller. I know what I saw and what I did and where I was standing when George Casey took the picture. It was an unbelievably fun day! One that only a minuscule number of people have ever experienced. I will never forget it. If you chose to disbelieve me, so be it. I really don't care. I climbed Cheops and you, and damned near every other person who has ever lived in the past four millennia has not. That is a cool feeling.

Please, if Obama wanted to run on the issues he would. The reason he is resorting to personal attacks is because he is morally bankrupt on the issues.

And how is running on the same damn agenda youve been running on for 70 years change????

I'm tired of hearing the word change.

Time for a change, let's make a change... or even in current Rap,

"like Barack Obama said, its time for a change" in the remix of Lolipop which is an entire song based around blow jobs... featuring the band Three Six Mafia. (yes, Three Six means exactly what it looks like.)

Or the song from Nas that tries to link to an old Tupac song for ratings/money's sake referring to Tupac's old song, "Changes" stating "And although it seems heaven sent We ain't ready, to see a black President," as though just having a black president would fix the racial issues, rather than what he'll do in office or anything important. Reverse racism sucks.

I think the next person who says Change is going to get pistol whipped.

Hey, Farva, what's the name of that restaurant?
