Please tell me that you are not this stupid to believe a crock of crap when you hear it.
Sen. John McCain stepped up his rhetoric against his Democratic rival on taxes in his weekly radio address Saturday, comparing his plan to “socialist” programs.
In the radio address, McCain didn’t directly call Obama a socialist, but he let the now-famous Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher nearly do it for him.
“You see, [Obama] believes in redistributing wealth, not in policies that help us all make more of it. Joe, in his plainspoken way, said this sounded a lot like socialism,” McCain said Saturday.(Is The McCain paying this yahoo’s tax bill?)
Suddenly—17 years after the Soviet Union’s collapse and the supposed “death of socialism”—the “S” word is being bandied about by American politicians and media pundits. This is just another pathetic attempt to bolster some support for a dying campaign.
Once again the Repubs show their lack of concern for anyone outside of their circle of influence.
Please, because some worn out wannabe claims it so, does not make it so.. Before all start throwing the word “socialism” around, I suggest that you learn the definition of the word. Obama is NO Socialist. And to call his so shows a serious lack of understanding and the IQ of your shoe size.
So true, so well stated. Half the people throwing around the “S-word” have no idea what it really means. I will occasionally say that ‘I’m mildly to moderately socialistic in my politics,’ and you should see the looks on the faces of Republicans, and many Democrats alike! It’s like I just announced that I’m some kind of pedophile or public masturbator. They’re thinking Commie, Nazi. But Nazi Germany, a fascist totalitarian dictatorship, was certainly no socialist state, even if the s-word was in its name. Obama is no socialist, you are so correct. At least not socialistic enough for my tastes…!
