Blunt
Do you want the same old or a possibility of a new?
Do you want to hang on to something that is familiar and dangerous, or possiblity something different?
Do you want to continue to hear the voices that are not yours?

Obama is newspeak, Hilllary is the same old.

9. "Newspeak" is the deliberately ambiguous and contradictory use of language to mislead
Edited on Sat Mar-29-08 01:46 AM by roughsatori
the public. "Newspeak" was first used by George Orwell in his novel "1984." The lack of clarity in your post makes it impossible to know which candidate you mean to promote in the General Election.

19. Yep--I was waiting for the McCain endorsement in the OP. He crapped on both Dems.
One's OLD and the other is a MANIPULATOR--gee, what a rocket scientist!!! :rofl:

Definitions of newspeak on the Web:

deliberately ambiguous and contradictory language use to mislead and manipulate the public; "the welfare state brought its own newspeak"

Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the novel, it is described as being "the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year. ...

13. Obama is indeed "newspeak" -- you have called it right
BO running on Hillary's "negatives" (created by right-wing slander) while claiming to be above it all, is a good example.
