Change we suspend belief in

Besides the new "Country First" moniker... the GOP, making up for a lack of creativity and an inability to run on experiences gained (recent history sucks) are now the official Catalysts for Change. What sort of change could they be running on? Which of the last 8 years' policies need to be changed according to those who've held either all or most of the power?

Will they...?

• Restore Habeas Corpus?
  
• Unravel the web of presidential signing statements?
  
• Reverse our position on torture and disassociate quaint from the Geneva Convention?
  
• Bring all the troops home?
  
• Close Guantanamo?
  
• Reign in spending and mismanagment of tax dollars?
  
• Reverse the heavy-handed intrusion into personal privacy?
  
• Begin to understand and combat Global Climate Change?
  
• Cease and desist with the attempt to fully blur the distinction between church and state or institute a tax code for churches who involve themselves in policy?
  
• Acquire a candidate fully aware of the job they're applying for?
  
• Cease corporate welfare?
  
• Redirect the wanton unregulated war funding into healthcare support for all?
  
• Stop viewing laid-off, under-employed, hard-working American tax payers as whiners?
  

Don't rightly recall any of these coming up lately as part of the change policy.

...and shouldn't the campaign making the declarative statement that the media's sexist, cut the mayorgovernor's apron strings and let her strike out on her own? For a pit bull with lipstick they sure are keeping her leashed tighty and penned. Maybe, they've another plan.

(via) “They didn’t seriously consider her until four or five days from the time she was picked, before she was asked, maybe the Thursday or Friday before,” said a Republican close to the campaign. “This was really kind of rushed at the end, because John didn’t get what he wanted. He wanted to do Joe or Ridge.”

You get what you pay for.
