I have no idea. All I'm saying is that no-one should use that word in a way that it has no meaning - just a useless word tossed around. I wasn't in TO for the "meeting" so I have no idea who said what.<BR/><BR/>I do agree that change is needed, but lets hear about the nuts and bolts. Anyone who has considered leading this party should already have a pretty solid plan for "renewal" put together, and ready to go. <BR/><BR/>I've just stated that we can't have change without some substance. I'm also going to repeat that it is a little tacky to keep using these words and phrases because of Barack's success with them...WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-3624210111021124802008-11-17T20:38:00.000-08:002008-11-17T20:38:00.000-08:00I think it's interesting how you imply the change ...I think it's interesting how you imply the change Obama promised had an element of substance behind it yet when one of the Liberal Leadership contenders says it you suggest it is an empty promise. <BR/><BR/>Barack Obama used the word change even before he introduced any policy or idea of what he wanted to do. <BR/><BR/>Change is a broad word. <BR/><BR/>I don't understand how you can say that when a Liberal Leadership candidate talks about change its empty when our party has declined electorally for the last 5 years to our lowest point in history; or that our finances have declined for even longer; or that Canada has had the same Conservative government for almost three years. <BR/><BR/>If there's ever been a time for change and it not being an empty promise, its now. <BR/><BR/>-scott<BR/>thescottrossthescottross.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08632822060893291800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28423454.post-32366163140144011992008-11-17T19:13:00.000-08:002008-11-17T19:13:00.000-08:00ps: The "Kennedy" reference implies the "John Fit...ps: The "Kennedy" reference implies the "John Fitzgerald" variety...WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.com
