Hey, it'd be change!

Okay, no, I'm not seriously voting for the candidate running on the "American Fascist Union" ticket nor the "Socialist Party" ticket. However, I'm doing this to illustrate an absurdity with many Americans.

While listen to talk radio (supposedly drive time talk radio, not political talk radio) my local station's announcer has Dick Morris on. Naturally, it leads its way into a political discussion and he's drilling Morris one why he does not support Obama. Morris gives him three distinct policy issues that he feels are very important and tries to describe why he disagree's with Obama. At this point the host stops him, says he's not as versed in Policy as Morris so can't really speak on that, but isn't it just time for a Change. Isn't it better just to get something new in there to try.

This boggled my mind and made me sick to my stomach, because while he's a host and has an outlet, this is the mindset of a lot of people. Yes, Obama has policies...but most you have to actively go search for. Most of the electorate just see's his charismatic front and his amazing delivery of platitudes and has baught into this "Change" platform that, for many people, seem to be change for changes sake.

So why not the Socialist party? Why not the Fascist Party? Both are so much farther to the extreme's that it'd be a CHANGE from anything we've had in decades. If "Change" is really the key.

Change for the sake of Change is potentially disasterous. If I'm getting my arm sawed off, its a "change" to have it now move to my Neck...but is that really better?

This isn't a shot at most Obama supporters on this site. You all, for the most part, are informed voters. While I completely disagree with your feelings about his policies and beliefs, you at least know them and seem...most of you...to be voting for him because you actually agree with those beliefs. But the fact that it seems the vast majority of people simply are just "wanting chaaaaange" and are latching on to his platitudes just kind of sickens me about this country.
