What real change has any candidate offered? Promises of change is what campaigning is all about, they all say what we want to hear. At this time who in their right mind does not want change with war and the economy slowly eating away the American way. All the candidates have promised change thats what they do. Both Clinton and Obama have said they will fix health care with national coverage for everyone, great idea but haven't we not learned that system isn't perfect either just ask our neighbors in Canada. What other change could we expect? Pulling out of Iraq? If we pull out completely in the next 4 years their country will implode with violence and we will be right back fighting a war in a region that despises us and for what? Now we are heading for a recession and no candidate has a good plan to turn it around, be creating new free trade agreements with other countries and out sourcing so many jobs and the millions of illegal aliens not paying taxes to help support the system that they use how could we not be heading for a recession.

What real changes can happen to make a positive difference to our country. One of the three candidates left will be elected and it will be the same old day to day politics. If you watch MSNBC you would have seen the National Republican Committee talking about meeting with Cheney after Bush's re-election about the campaign promises that he made. Cheney's response was we are not going to let what we said during the election dictate how we run the next years. Isn't that what campaigning is about? Telling people what you are going to do when while you are in office. The problem is that Bush is not the only politician to do this, they all do. This common practice is why there will be no major changes from this next election, there are no great ideas or policies on the table to make a dent in the problems our country is facing. If a politican came out and said I am want to be elected and handle the day to day business of the country and has no plans of introducing new domestic or foreign policies. Would you vote a person who didn't promise change into office? With all the career politicians protecting interests of the wealthy like the oil companies and companies like Halliburton why would they want to make "real" changes.
