time for change

A time for change seems to be the most common of all political promises. When any politician wants to attract the "peoples" support, they promise change. It doesn't matter what type of change as long as change is part of the rhetoric. Whether or not change is needed, change is the ultimate political standard that every politician seems to rely on.
Incumbents want you to change from where they've been to what they will never be and those hoping for office want you to believe that they will change the moons orbit around the earth if you only have the faith to vote for them. What ever happened to the old adage, "if its not broke don't fix it?"
I think change is a great idea especially if we all work together to impact real change on the electorate; in other words, it's time to change every one in office and hope that the new guys can do a better job. Its highly unlikely but its worth the change, don't you think? Just to find out if change really works, let's give it a try. Let's change our own myopic attitudes and offer a real change to those who try to convince us that change is on the horizon.
What could happen? What real damage could be inflicted on our government if we changed those in office and gave the chance to others? I think its worth the try, don't you?

changing those in office
like2Bbusy — Sat, 03/08/2008 - 22:15I completely agree that we should change EVERYONE currently in office and replace them with people who have lived in the REAL world. This would mean those of us who have REAL jobs, drive a REAL commute, have children attending REAL public schools, buy groceries from REAL grocery stores, balance a REAL budget and pump REAL gas!
Maybe then we would see a REAL change.
a political spring cleaning

Every two hundred years or so, all elected officials will be released and new ones called by some random number generator-- kinda like jury duty with a lot more pay.
