Since so many low-income people voted for Obama, I was just wondering if we could replace food stamps with hope stamps. I think this would be a good idea since Obama supporters find sustenance in hope. They could use such stamps on whatever hope they wanted: blind hope, false hope, concocted hope, irrational hope. They could take their pick- Obama supporters don't seem too discerning in this regard. Just throwing it out there (like some mindless chant).
Oh wait! Better yet, have Obama keep Berstanke as Fed chair and let him start issuing Hope notes- they could serve as legal tender. I guess they could only peg it to the dollar when it becomes worthless (I'd give it by 2010).
I'm still waiting for some CHANGE and thought this hope stamp thing would be a good starting point. Thoughts, feelings, concerns?

Please remember all votes are non-refundable. Store credit will be given if vote was cast within last four years.

Oh Yes! One line indeed!
Seriously, hope stamps- totally serious- McCain used them all through Vietnam- oh wait- that was loose lippin' and being spoiled
We could issue Detroit a bailout of Hope. Write 'em a card, "hang in there buds"


How about Yes-We-Can Healthcare? Just thought of it. All by myself. These are gold----O'dawg, put me on a committee-I'm ready to roll up my sleeves!

You find it reprehensible that so many poor people voted for Obama?

Strange, I find it reprehensible that so many people are poor.

Quite a post you made there. Lots of sarcastic slant, but no real substance.

I have an idea:

One hope stance is redeemable for a proper education and a decent-paying job. Great idea Moonsouljah!

I find my and other's poverty reprehensible as well. Obama will come through. A wage slave job for all! I can't wait for that free healthcare-I've been smoking extra just cause I know I'm covered now.
Actually, I'll just hang out and wait with hope. Oh glorious, glorious hope.

I think they should put it on the face of the stamp that appears on Rush Limbaugh's pink slip when it says "YOUR FIRED" (giant face of Obama right next to it).

Now that would be funny. Then he cry to himself on a blog about how the government is always holding him back. Maybe he'll sink back into a drug-induced stupor while he complains about minorities and their lack of morals.

Great place to get your news from.

I guess you never heard of Satellite Radio? If the Democrats want to shut down free speech again, I'll just buy a subscription along with some stock of whatever satellite company picks Rush Limbaugh up. No Big Deal!

Let me ask you a question:

Do you not find it hypocritical that you accuse the media of being "liberal", and then you go turn on Rush Limbaugh?

I turn on Rush Limbaugh because the media is liberal. If the media actually reported without the liberal bias, there would be no need for Limbaugh. Why do you think FOX News does so well?
