Last time I checked, NO-ONE got a job based on "Hope" and "Change"!

[demo dutch]

not in the real world anyway!
Sorry, to become President of the United States, Best qualification win! Period

No contempt for Obama supporters but...!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. "Despair" and "Status Quo" don't produce a lot of jobs, either.

[demo dutch]

2. Despair and status quo, you must be speaking of the republicans!

[Deja Q]

32. Talking about yourself again, are you?

Just joking, but your OP has touched a nerve - on people who do know a lot more than you.

[Demeter]

3. Corporate Whoredom Is Always Hiring, Though

[KittyWampus]

5. no, actually they're outsourcing

[demo dutch]

7. Please Obama is as corporate as Hillary. Now if you're talking about Kucinich

I agree.

[Demeter]

24. I don't deny it. I'm for Edwards, Still

[BeatleBoot]

20. Nor do $ 25 Billion Hand Outs to Big Oil.

At our expense.

Don't you pay big oil enough at the pump?

[Yael]

4. They need to change their hope then

Or something like that...

[BluegrassDem]

6. Can "corruption" get you a job?

[KittyWampus]

8. Obamababies?

[Pathwalker]

15. I hate the name-calling, too. It's juvenile.

[bunnies]

19. Not to mention rude. nt

[demo dutch]

28. Fair enough I'll take that out!

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. Since Senator Obama has a full, clearly supported statement of policies

That's neither here nor there.

Unless you're parroting the platitude that Obama speaks in nothing but platitudes?

[BeatleBoot]

27. He also has a voting record

And a $ 25 Billion hand out to Big Oil he voted "YES" on.

All at our expense.

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00213

[alcibiades_mystery]

57. So you agree that the OP's nonsense about hope and change is irrelevant

Good on ya.

I'm glad some of you guys are starting to recognize that the platitude charge is itself a platitude.

:thumbsup:

[geiger]

10. You never applied for a job and hoped for hope and change?

Sorry, FU, period, big period.

[demo dutch]

13. Sure but I made sure I had the qualifications!

[Deja Q]

30. You certainly don't.

Your OP is so far detached from reality; we have schools selling "learning" for $40,000 - for jobs that pay $30,000.. and those jobs are going overseas.

People with Masters' degrees are losing jobs for overseas.

In fields Americans were told to take interest in.

And Americans have noticed.

If people with degrees get fired and are unable to find replacement work, or people going to school to use their talents are socking in tens of thousands for piss payin' jobs that are going overseas anyway...

"FU" is too right.

[demo dutch]

43. Hillary was not my first choice, but I'm picking experience over "hope"

and in answering your complaint, I don't Obama will make any difference.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

46. experience? I think more like baggage n/t

[demo dutch]

51. You're entitled to your opinion and I have mine.

[thoughtcrime1984]

Who Is "NOONE"?

Maybe you mean Noonen?

[Prefer]

11. Personally I'm STANDING FOR CHANGE!

BELIEVE IN HOPE...

YES WE CAN!

[tabasco]

12. Trusting George Bush = disqualification.

We have some lovely parting gifts.

[mathewsleep]

18. *bing*

you are correct sir!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

ding ding ding - you're a winner

exactly right - anyone knew after seeing how Bush was falsely installed
into the pResidency that he couldn't be trusted.

I don't think Hillary trusted Bush per se, I think she knew exactly what she was doing
when she voted for the war on Iraq which has caused a million deaths of innocents
and which has displaced millions of Iraqis.

[Big Blue Marble]

14. Obama babies???

How is that not insulting?

Did you ever go to a job interview without hope that you could get the job?

Did you ever go to a job interview without tell them how you could change the place for the better?

Hope for improvement in our lives gets us up every morning. Hope for improvement in our lives and the lives
of our children is what keeps going. And when we are down, what gets us started again. Hope.

Life is driven by Hope.

[demo dutch]

21. Ok I'll take that out. But I made sure I had the qualifications

[Big Blue Marble]

33. Thanks n/t

[demo dutch]

22. self delete

[demo dutch]

self delete

[mathewsleep]

16. okay, you're right

i don't want to hope for something better. i'll just blindly except whatever the future the washington politics chooses for me.

[no name no slogan]

17. Wow, Obama must be kicking serious ass...

...because the HillShills are getting DESPERATE for post material.

And BTW, posts like this do nothing to sway undecided/uncommitted voters.

[sniffa]

29. And that's one to grow on

[no name no slogan]

38. Tootie!!!!

OMG, I used to have a crush on her! :D

[sniffa]

40. And I used to have a crush on Jo

Nancy McKeon is a babe. :loveya:

Blair sucks. Fuck her.

[no name no slogan]

44. Jo was also the hotness

And Blair was a stuck up biatch.

She's also a rabid right-winger IRL.

[sniffa]

49. What about Natalie? She never gets any love

The happy magic marker of the show. :sigh:

[no name no slogan]

52. She was on my list, too

She got hotter as she got older, IMHO, while Blair just got more annoying (and more high maintenance). If I remember, she was always getting into some weird stuff (like much weirder than what you'd expect a slightly chubby homely girl to get into...)

[Telly Savalas]

62. I'm getting this clear mental picture of Obama standing on a stage

addressing a crowd of thousands by reciting the lyrics to the theme song in that grand oratory style of his:

Look.

When the world doesn't seem.

To be living up to your dreams. then suddenly you realize

the Facts of Life are all about you.

Yes we can!

[Guaranteed]

23. Yeah, usually people get jobs based on being the wife of someone who

did it before.

[demo dutch]

31. Not in my world!

[Deja Q]

35. And wha planet is that, do tell?

Mars?

Jupiter?

Uranus?

Skaro?

It clearly isn't Earth...

[demo dutch]

ummm Last time I checked it was earth!

[Schema Thing]

25. Oh sure they do

Enough hope, and you generate confidence. With confidence, business and individuals invest in the future and expand.

And change, well that's sort of self-explanatory, but yeah, it usually means new jobs.

[sniffa]

26. What a brilliant thread by you

Again, you've met my expectations for you. :thumbsup:

[demo dutch]

34. Thanks Sniffa, we have to stop meeting like this!

[sniffa]

39. Well, if you stopped posting these kinds of threads

Then we would. :thumbsup:

[demo dutch]

47. I just can't help it !

[sniffa]

50. Apparently so

[Bluerthanblue]

36. no one gets a job with out hope and change-

- empty- useless- rhetoric.

[demo dutch]

41. Really? Think about it. If every candidate had to fill out a job application I'm

sure it would be an eye openener for the entire country on who to vote for. (and that does not just pertain to these two candidates, because Hillary was not my first choice!)

[Deja Q]

37. Best qualifications? As in their written record of accomplishments vs their flip-flops?

Or how good they lie in front of people -- after all, this IS politics.

[Renew Deal]

42. You're 100% wrong about that.

People change jobs because of their hopes and dreams, so I disagree.

[demo dutch]

48. but they'll screw up or get fired without the necessary experience

[Renew Deal]

53. They won't get hired without the necessary experience.

They'll get fired for not working hard or screwing up. A person that busts their ass (and/or is ambitious), and screws up once in a while is invaluable.

[rjones2818]

45. Well...perhaps Pandora did...

:)

[Danger Mouse]

54. No contempt for Obama supporters?

Then wtf did you start this asinine thread for?

[globalvillage]

55. I strongly disagree

Those are two of the qualities I look for when hiring. I want to know how the candidate accepts change and what inspired them to apply for the position. A lot of people might be qualified to fill a post. What sets them apart is the stuff you don't see on the resume.

[varelse]

56. NO-ONE got a job based on "Hope" and "Change

I hate to be contrary like this but - every politician who runs and wins against an incumbent or in a primary does exactly that.

It is a shame that things aren't otherwise, though. "Best qualification win!" would be a great step forward.

[cooolandrew]

58. Yes, none of that hope malarky and plenty more status quo, tried and tested.

[Medusa]

59. Last time I checked, no one got a job using their spouse's resume

either.

[loyalsister]

60. You must not read many resumes

"optimistic, cheerful, upbeat, etc"

"think outside the box"
"self starter"
"upbeat"
"takes initiative"

[BringBigDogBack]
