The DEFINITION of CHANGE:
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 09:46 AM by Labors of Hercules
Have you noticed how Obama and Hillary pulled off wins when they began to adopt John Edwards definition of change?

change: /cheynj/:
1. REVOLUTION: /ˌrɛvəˈluʃən/ an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.

"You know, we've had too many Americans whose voices have not been heard in this democracy. That's what this battle is about." -John Edwards

First Barack:

"the reason our campaign has always been different, the reason we began this improbable journey almost a year ago is because it's not just about what I will do as president. It is also about what you, the people who love this country, the citizens of the United States of America, can do to change it. That's what this election is all about." -Barack Obama

Now Hillary:

"Too many have been invisible for too long. Well, you are not invisible to me." -Hillary Clinton


Two candidates finally embraced what John Edwards has been campaigning for: that THE CHANGE we the people want is the same we've wanted since the American Revolution: NO GOVERNMENT WITHOUT TRUE REPRESENTATION! Our seats at the table have been systematically removed by an elitist group of thugs, and we are taking them back! THIS IS OUR DEMOCRACY; not an Oligarchy, not a Theocracy, and not a corporate boardroom.

We will no longer tolerate a government that ignores our needs while the politicians that should be serving us pursue agendas in the best interest of only a few elitist assholes.

John Edwards has seen the needs and best interest of the people. Obama and Clinton have finally joined him.
The American Revolution isn't over...

5. But he adopted EDWARDS definition of it...
Didn't mean shit until Obama defined what he meant by "change". And lo an behold, it is the same change Edwards has been fighting for all these years. Imagine that.
