"Reform, Prosperity, Peace"

10. Lol translation-
"By reform we mean reforming the constitution."

"By prosperity we mean prosperity for the wealthiest 1% at the expense of everyone else."

"By peace we mean... um haven't you ever read 1984?"

13. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before????
I seem to recall Bush's "Reformer with Results" -- oh, he re-formed alright. Got results alright.

Just not the results we needed.

18. "No child left behind" (well, the children that "matter" anyway)
Reform is change with a mandate, but they don't have a mandate. It's change without hope.

Prosperity is a losing term for them as well, especially when you look at their tax plan. It's prosperity for the people who already have prosperity.

Peace? PEACE? Where, Poland? :rofl:
