Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda...

People are talking about the differences between the 2 paragraphs below, and pointing out the lack of GOD in the second. While I don't like that it has been removed, my biggest concern is the constant use of the word SHOULD in the 2012 democratic platform. 3 times it appears  SHOULD is the basis for the type of world where I don't want to live, where everyone gets what they "SHOULD"... this is scary people! Should is the worst word in the English language when it comes to politics, it's the root of all entitlement.

My Mom used to say this about this subject, "Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda..." which was another way of telling me the world isn't fair! I hope the people who stand behind this platform realize the danger of this word.

This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:

“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”

This is the paragraph that was in the 2012 platform:

“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”
