I feel like people should keep track of the sentiments found on these message boards about the sentiments felt about our nation. 15 years ago everything was much more positive. Everything was just starting to boom, and it seemed like the sky is the limit. Now, in the dark hours of this economic extreme, the tendency is to be negative. Focusing on what is wrong, how everything needs to change. We forget that we still live in a great society. As Americans we have become jaded with all that we have, and not grateful for the ability to have purchased all of it. Our government will hopefully turn things around, but we need to do our part. Vote.

You must be an NOBAMA voter. His campaign is based on negativity. You don't need him to give you HOPE if if already have it. He speaks to the hopeless, the down people who feel sorry for themselves and only see bad things on the horizon. I heard the same things from Gore and Kerry, same message, this time with a bit of white guilt thrown in. Sorry, I gave at the office.

You can be doing well and still want to do better, either personally or as a society. Maybe the reason Gore and Kerry (and now Obama) had essentially the same message is because there's a large portion of the population who feel that there are some things we could do better on as a nation. They expect greatness of America, and are disappointed when we fall short in certain areas. Maybe instead of rephrasing the Phil Gramm 'nation of whiners' critique, you could give specific examples of Democratic platform or policy you disagree with. You know, something constructive. Because as it stands now, there are major items of Republican policy (deregulation (blame falls to a lesser extent, but still some, on Democrats as well), War On Terror handling, the existence of the War On Terror, the loss of American respectability in the world, Iran non-proliferation, &c.) which lend themselves to trying another direction, just because we know the current direction isn't working too well. So without even getting into the specifics of Obama's policy suggestions on these topics, I've given an argument for change - change on topics where McCain is fundamentally in line with Bush doctrine.

Now, to my own non-constructive comment (which I swear is satire, thereby elevating it to the level of constructive comment by demonstrating the non-constructivity of your comment):

McPalin (to play your 'toy with names because that somehow discredits their policy ideas' game) plays the same game, though. They play to people who only see bad things on the horizon. It just depends on what you see on the horizon. Do you see turban-clad, freedom-hating fanatics clutching hands with baby-killing, Jesus-hating tree huggers and baby-making, job-stealing border jumpers on the horizon? Vote McPalin!
