John McCain and Sarah Palin's calls for "reform" are as hollow as Bush's insistence on the presence of WMDs in Iraq.
Their arguments that they are the real change ticket don't strike their supporters as false because their supporters aren't looking for change; they want more of the same.
Take McCain's new acquisition from Clinton's base, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who raised at least $100,000 for Hillary and has thrown her support behind Maverick:
"'This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,' she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. 'I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.'
Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York."

Get OVER yourself, woman.
The real reason you hate Obama is because his tax cuts would improve life for the 95% of Americans that you aren't a part of. Boo hoo, I make millions and have to pay my taxes. The headline on this shouldn't have read "Prominent Clinton backer and DNC member to endorse McCain," it should have read "Selfish Elitist won't vote for Obama." Her husband has a title, she's a CEO with homes in New York and London, and she calls Obama an elitist? Well, by all means, go support the un-elitist ticket!
The Palins are very in touch with the average Americans. They have furniture just like yours in their home:
"Monday, US Weekly and a blog, NarcoNews, reported that 'the former beauty queen's penchant for a bronzed body' led to the installation of a 'private tanning bed' shortly after she took office.
'She paid for it herself,' said McAllister from his Anchorage office. He told ABC News he had 'no idea' why she had installed the machine but confirmed it was installed in the mansion."

Let me guess--with 30 days of night and all, it's difficult to bronze your bod with natural sunlight? I certainly hope Palin abstained from tanning while she was pregnant, as...
"The fact is that the UVA rays that are emitted from the Ultraviolet A light sources in tanning salons are two to three times more powerful than the UVA rays which occur naturally from the sun."
- Women's Health
I really hope she's not letting her teenage daughters use it, but they all do look kind of tan for Alaska...
And who better to reform the mortgage industry and keep Americans in their homes than Johnny McMansion?
"Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.
'I think — I'll have my staff get to you,' McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. 'It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you.'
The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.
And a Politico analysis later in the day found McCain's family owns at least eight properties, according to property and tax records, as well as interviews."

So how specifically does the real "change" ticket intend to reform "Warshington"? Barbara Walters perhaps one of the last courageous journalists in this election, had the courage to ask:
McCain has been in Washington for 22 YEARS. Well, actually, that's only if you don't count his time at the Naval Academy just outside D.C. in Annapolis, his time at Ft. McNair War College in D.C. from 1973-1974, and his time serving as the Navy's liason to the Senate, starting in 1977. So ballpark, 30 years.
Barack Obama has spent four years in Washington. Somehow, we're letting McCain paint him as a Washington insider? What the f*ck is wrong with us?
More of the Same McCain and Pork Barrell Palin offer change for me to poop on.
