CHANGE PLEASE

The Republican presidential front runners, McCain, Romney and Huckabee, all tout they are for change. The real question is change from what?

They cannot be for change unless they renounce made up, senseless war and demand its end in Iraq and Afghanistan.

They cannot be for change unless they demand an end to torture and secret rendition of suspected un-desirables.

They cannot be for change unless they denounce illegal spying on American citizens.

They cannot be for change unless they promise relief for the millions losing health insurance and sinking into poverty.

After hearing their positions and philosophies it’s possible that change for them is what you get back from McDonalds when you buy a quarter pounder with a dollar.
