Why is McCain saying he is the candidate for "Change" now?

Question

Has he ever done anything to change Washington in all the years he's been there? Or has he stuck by Washington in order to better himself?

Yes he's a patriot, yes he's a hero, but isn't he also a part of the administration that has been failing for the last 8 years?

Answer 1

Because he is bright enough to recognize that it has been failing and needs to change. Not a far leap.

Answer 2

McCain has a sure knack for saying what Obama has already said...

Answer 3

True. I'm glad he's going with the change theory, everyone that's done that has failed miserably except Obama. he's been in senate for over 20yrs. there is no change in that!

Answer 4

Because he realizes that's what people want to hear.

Answer 5

because he knows that the american people are pissed , from the beginning primaries he had no policies, only when the Democrats had elected their candidate that he had to change his direction and go for change, cause if it works why not copy it, but also the republicans when to invade iran, so there taking off the republican hats to rile up the troops to put on the american hats to go invade iran

Answer 6

Sir you are correct.

Woe is me, I've been found out.

Answer 7

Because he knows that Obama has been right all along. Too bad it took him till the republican convention to come up with the idea. He still votes for Bush 95% of the time and that is true no matter what he says.

Answer 8

Because the American people are sick of seing rich elites like him guzzle all their tax dollars.

That Obama has gotten so far is a sign of this.

Answer 9

Because he thinks the American people are too stupid to recognize that he is exactly like Bush, except Bush is not as mean.

Answer 10

Good point.  Why are people voting for him?  It will only be more of the same.

Answer 11

Because Obama is not the only one in the world who wants change, he does not own the word change, anyone can be for change for f***s sakes you dim whit inbred r****d ******* loser. what the **** has obama done to change ****? nothing. all he has provided is empty words and lies to fill your stupid brainwashed self with false hope of a better tommarow that will never come! obama nor mccain give two f***s about you or me you brainless tool.

Answer 12

McCain has been bucking the system in DC most of his career.  He votes for what he and the people want, not by party association

Answer 13

Many things need changed, and whether you're a Republican or a democrat, most believe this. "Change" is what this country needs, and so "change" is the catch phrase of this election. However, since I am a REPUBLICAN I will say that McCain's idea of change is MUCH better and reachable than the smoke Obama is trying to blow up his fellow democrats butts on a daily basis. Obama is all talk. Period.
