Palin: “No Time to Experiment With Socialism”
Roswell, NM –
Sarah Palin went after Barack Obama at a rally in an airport hanger here saying his tax plan is socialist—she made sure to couch the attack behind the very famous plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher and today she introduced another everyman, Ed the Dairy Man. Palin used some of her harshest language and said these men agree that Barack Obama’s plan “sounds more like socialism.”
“Senator Obama said he wants to quote spread the wealth. What that means is he wants government to take your money and dole it out however a politician sees fit. Barack Obama calls it spreading the wealth.” Palin said, “But Joe the Plumber and Ed the Dairy Man, I believe that they think that it sounds more like socialism. Friends, now is no time to experiment with socialism. To me our opponent’s plan sounds more like big government, which is the problem. Bigger government is not the solution. Whatever you call his tax plan and that redistribution of wealth it will destroy jobs. It will hurt our economy.”
The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee made sure to use phrases like “dole out” and “redistribution of wealth” that pounded in the socialism attack.
Palin said the Democratic nominee has not been “straightforward” about his tax plan. She charged him of raising taxes on “hard-working families.”
“Since he can’t reduce taxes on those who pay zero, he wants the government to send them a check that’s called a tax credit. And where is he gonna get the money for all those checks that he will cut? By raising taxes on America’s hard-working families and our small businesses and a lot of folks just like Joe the Plumber and Ed the Dairyman out there, right there, Ed the Dairyman,” referencing a man holding a sign in the crowd identifying himself.
Accusing Barack Obama of raising taxes is not a new attack, but the Alaska Governor was much stronger today trying to make the Democratic ticket’s tax plan sound like socialism and a step towards a welfare state without directly saying it, “Obama’s plans to raise taxes on some in order to give checks out to others is not a tax cut, it is more government growth and it’s another government giveaway. Palin said, “Sen. Obama’s tax increases would come at the worst possible time in our country, especially for small businesses like the one Joe dreams of owning or Ed dreams of growing. Small businesses provide 16 million jobs in America, that’s the backbone of our country.”
She linked the Illinois Senator to a community activist group that is being investigated for voter registration fraud, ACORN. Palin then referenced soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan for Americans’ access to free elections and accused ACORN of trying to take away that right.
“We’ve sent our young men and women over to a war zone to protect our rights and our freedoms. A part of that is our right to free and fair elections. How dare anyone try to take that away from the good Americans who are fighting for us to ensure all of that?”

McCain says he isn’t going to raise taxes, but then plans to tax insurance paid by our employers.
Says Obama’s plans are socialistic, but plans on having the government (at tax payer expense) buy the houses of people who don’t pay taxes.
Seems like McCain and Palin are the ftrue tax and spend socialists.
Hey, Sarah! Better a Democratic socialist than a Republican fascist!
Go Sarah, Socialism is the correct definition.
Republicans rock!
General Powell called it right today saying this person is out of there league. Please send her back to Alaska, she doesn’t have a clue about the real America. Shes one to speak on socialism when she gives the citizens of Alaska a check every year for $3.200.00 for the US oil revenue, I think Alaska is still a part of the USA. It funny how she continues to take the money for the bridge to no where, Sarah please give me a break………..
Obama’s Communist Mentor
AIM COLUMN | BY CLIFF KINCAID | FEBRUARY 18, 2008
Is “coalition politics” at work in Obama’s rise to power?
In his biography of Barack Obama, David Mendell writes about Obama’s life as a “secret smoker” and how he “went to great lengths to conceal the habit.” But what about Obama’s secret political life? It turns out that Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist.
In his books, Obama admits attending “socialist conferences” and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a “hard-core academic Marxist,” which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes

She is one step away from being a felon herself. Every day there is new scandel that comes out about her. What is really sad about this is she is what John McCain will be remembered for.
I’m Bob the retail worker, and I’m voting for John McCain!

Go get em Sarah!
Obama is definitely socialistic. There is no way he can get around it without changing his plan. The closest thing America will get by “[voting] for change” is an ever-changing plan to get nothing done, and spread socialism. His health care plan is undoubtedly socialistic. Government mandated universal health care is socialistic and you can ask the socialist candidate about that one (votebrianmoore.com). He also wants to “redistribute the wealth.” This is one of the core principles of socialism. There is no amount of eloquence that Obama could ever muster to dismiss these factual accusations. Socialism is also anti-capitalist. Capitalism, as everyone should know, is part of what the US is based on and is one of the reasons its been so successful. As for the rest of his issues, Obama is extremely lax in his explanations and gives no definite plan, let alone anything that points to change. One definite change is that he will fluff his speeches and his policies to that point that they no longer hold meaning. McCain is not using poor tactics and neither is Palin. The only thing that McCain and Palin are guilty is pointing out valid facts. It’s sad that the media, lead by Obama’s eloquence, is grossly misconstruing valid facts into oblivion. I pity him as he attempts and succeeds in misleading the American public to believe his farce.
Mr. Obama says he wants to spread the wealth. (Redistribute wealth) The definition of socialism is letting government redistribute wealth. If 40% don.t pay taxes and the y will get a taxcut that means they are getting backdoor welfare. His past and current relationships would not be important if he did not advocate socilist policies and government take over of healthcare. But his friends have molded his views.
Mr. Obama also has radical views on abortion. he has a 100% rating with Plan Parenthood and NARAL. When answering questions for FRC Action he is against parental notification for under age would be mothers. The same way he voted in Illinois. He voted against a ban on partial birth abortion in the stae of Illinois on more than one ocasion and even voted to withhold care for children born in cases of botched abortions. Obama is for Abortion up to the ninth month for whatever reason. He is for medicaid funding abortion and he wants to end the ban on tax funded abortion.
Mr. Obama supports the apeal of DOMA laws which define marriage between one man and one woman… according to answers given in the FRC Action voter guide.
Mr. Obama supports research where embryos would be destroyed. according to FRC guide.
Mr. Obama does not support the lift on the ban for off shore drilling at least that has been his stand for the last few years.
Mr. Obama says he would pick judges based on their personal beliefs.. No doubt Judges who are pro Abortion.
Mr. Obama is the most liberal in the senate and is out of touch with the heartland. Mike
You go Sarah! Tell it how it is! Obama and the democratic congress will wreck this country. We all have to step up and get them OUT!
This whole ’socialist’ argument is ludicrous. The tax rates that Barack is going to implement will mirror those that Bill Clinton had in place. Tax rates that helped create a surplus during his eight years in office. Crying about 3% as being a ’socialist’ tax increase is ignorant and selfish. That’s really what this is all about. Selfishness. McCain’s tax policies won’t stimulate our economy! When you give the rich more money all they do is find ways to pocket as much of it as possible. They don’t want to ‘trickle down’ the profits to anyone else. With Obama’s plan, the people that recieve tax credits are…get this…going to SPEND IT. They’ll use it to pay off mortgages and other bills, they’ll use it to buy food, they’ll use it to save for school. That means more economic stimulation, less debt, and a stronger country. With McCain’s plan the only people continuing to prosper will be the ultra rich. I for one am not willing to accept that. Republicans can call the plan ‘Socialist’, and focus McCain’s campaign on trying to raise doubts about Obama’s character, but come November 4th a majority of the nation will prove beyond a doubt that the key to a strong economy is made through strong middle class.

Obama admits he wants to “redistribute the wealth”. Watch and listen to the Obama encounter with Joe the Plumber. The operative words of Socialism are near the end.
They go to YouTube and view the versions attributed to the liberal media (ABC etc.). See and hear a difference near the end?
Palin is an American Idiot.
What is it with the socialism thing from the GOP? They claim that Obama’s policies are somehow socialist because he advocates taxing the rich and giving a break to the poor, that somehow this translates out to a redistribution of wealth mandated by the state. But Palin, McCain and all of these GOP bloggers seem to conveniently overlook that Bush and McCain proposed and advocated the $700 billion bailout, taking tax money from the poor and the middle class and giving it to corporations and CEOs. So redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor is socialism and is bad. What does redistribution from the poor to the rich make? Capitalism? If that’s what capitalism is, I’d rather be called a socialist? Either way, McCain and Bush are just as socialist as Obama…but I’d rather have Obama’s brand that favors the poor and the middle class.
This woman can’t get anything straight. A tax credit is not a check. Palin claims that 40% of Americans don’t pay taxes, implying that the 40% are lazy or tax cheats. Duh, Sarah, 30% of Americans are under the age of 18 and 10% are over 60, so that 40% you are so fond of sneering about are not all the lazy tax cheats you would have people believe.
The funny thing is that she likely believes what she says. The GOP depends on everyone else having no sense of history or fiscal policy to fall for such ridiculous rhetoric. Look at the tax rate history from about 1920 to 1980. You’ll find that the wealthiest tax rate tier paid from 75-90% taxes. Not to mention, before the wealthy got a huge tax cut our national debt was fairly under control. Once Reagan cut taxes from 75% to ~35%, amazingly enough, our national debt grew astronomically. Trickle-down’ (supply-side) economics does increase the GDP significantly, but what good is it when only the top tier of our society reaps the benefits and the bottom and middle decline in wealth, thus decreasing a sizable tax base and forcing the government to once again tax the wealthy at high rates?
Obama wanting to return to a more fiscally responsible and historically based tax plan is not socialism, it’s how American used to be fiscally responsible. Gov. Palin, John McCain, and those that would fall for their ridiculous nonsense, do your homework before you go around using words like socialism. Such pitiful rhetoric has no place in our country or our lives. Each time a neo-con Republican runs for office our country becomes more divided due to their unconstitutional social agenda, their hateful and fear-inducing oratory.
I agree 100%. Sen. Obama is running a Socialist program. He is trying to destroy our country from within. He will take everything we hold dear.
McCain/Palin
TX Lady
It is not that Bill Ayers is a so-called socialist. The problem is that there is no difference in the activities of Bill Ayers and Timothy McVeigh. Or for that matter Malcolm X “by any means necessary”… but exactly what was the goal of each? If Colin Powell cannot see the significance of associates and how they influence our lives I wonder why he was so careful of the company he kept on his way up the carrer ladder?
Every time Sarah Palin opens her mouth she reinforces what many of us have been saying about her ever since McCain decided to make her his running mate: she is clueless. Absolutely clueless. She repeats ideas that others put in her head in ways that show she knows nothing beyond the phrase itself. “Experiment with socialism?” Is she kidding? What Obama said to Joe the Plumber has nothing whatsoever to do with socialism. It has to do with what we have always done with the tax structure in this country, which is to make those who are most able to pay pay a higher percentage. Joe the Plumber may not like it, but Joe the Plumber (who isn’t a plumber) apparently doesn’t want to pay any taxes.
Clueless. This woman is clueless.
This is certainly no time to experiment with a vice president who is clueless.

” Taxes are always a redistribution of money. Most of the taxes that are redistributed go back to those who pay them, in roads and airports and hospitals and schools. And taxes are necessary for the common good. And there’s nothing wrong with examining what our tax structure is or who should be paying more or who should be paying les, and for us to say that makes you a socialist is an unfortunate characterization that I don’t think is accurate. ” - Colin Powell
Can someone tell me why McCain economic plan will be any better? Second, does Palin even know what McCain economic plan is?
Is palin ever going to talk about her stance on issues? I hear her talk about McCain and Obama but never about her own feelings or plans. She continues to prove that she brings nothing to the ticket beyond being a spokes model.
Here we go!! ACORN….give it up Palin!! she has abused her powers in Alaska……. she fought the big oil companies there too according to her own words….that’s why they pay more for gas in her “oil state” than we do here in the lower 48….good job!!
The only reason she keeps bringing up acorn is she feels she should be the only nut in the news!!

haha she’s funny
Palin endorses an unAmerican political group, the Alaska Independence Party.
The AIP hates the US Government and Palin is their buddy.
Just search on Palin and AIP on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eniG9l_7its
I think Palin ’s very real political ties are a little worse than some imagined Socialism.
Yep, when America needs unity, clarity and vision, McCain and the RNC just continue with more fear, uncertainty and doubt. Just like their vision for America, when the plan ain’t working, double down.
Thank God America is ready for a change from this nonsense.
McCain/Palin 08
“As America Circles the Toilet, We Keep Flushing!”
Oh Caribou Barbie is clutching at straws again.
Like the Conservative Andrew Sullivan say’s - she tell stange lies that woman
He also correctly guesses there wil be no medical records released from her -especially the lat 12 months and I think we all know why that is - Trig is not hers
McCain and Palin are doing a better job of explaining Barack’s misguided plan rooted in the tenets of socialism, but they need to explain the McCain tax plan more clearly. Specifically, the American people need to better understand the health care tax credit and the corporate tax rate decrease. McCain’s plan is definitely going to create jobs and increase the number of insured- but few believe that because of Obama’s lies and McCain’s failure to explain his plan. Please do it-living in a socialist America is not change I can believe in. And I doubt it is what most Americans want.
Kenya Obama’s acorn are rairing the dead to vote for BO. Getting votes from the grave, how just how low can you get.
re: Personal responsibility, I’m astounded by how many McCain supporters have thrown Bush under the bus, as though he never was their guy, and they never had a role in putting Bush in office. McCainiacs, be honest now: didn’t you vote for Bush? TWO times? Don’t you bear ANY responsibility for the sorry current state of affairs? (No, you can’t blame it all on Acorn–that’s just ludicrous a cop-out.) Yes, it takes plenty of other bad actors to make a disaster. But isn’t the Republican Party the party of personal responsibility? Well, then, before you vote for four more years of Bush-like policies, please accept some of the responsibility for the awful outcomes of Bush’s economic and foreign policies–he was your guy. Twice.
What Governor Palin (re: state oil royalties) and President Bush (re: the financial sector) have already done is a lot closer to socialism than anything that Senator Barack Obama has proposed.
Gee, Sarah, that would make Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush two of the greatest socialists of the modern era. http://inthecourse.blogspot.com/2008/10/say-it-aint-socialist-joe_4115.html
Thank you Sarah for telling it like it is.

The Republican party has lost its way, I am sad to hear these words like terrorist, socialist and anti-american. These words are anti american and the republican party is anti american - shifting so far right on the political continuum. I am voting democratic, they are the real americans who want to keep the taxes low (including tax breaks) and end the war with honor and international integrity. Sarah Palin is the worst politician I have every seen in the political arena. God save the republican party and I will Barack my vote on November 4th 08.
Reagan began the “Socialist” Earned Income Tax Credit System and every president sense has raised it. It’s typical Government intrusive BS once the tip of the wedge is inserted into a crack it gets driven in deeper.
McCain says Bailing out Rich Bankers with public Funds is Socialist for Obama; His vote for the bill wasn’t socialist. It must be election season.
Good old Joe the plumber admits Obama’s tax plan would help him more than McCain’s. Why doesn’t Sarah tell you that?
Taxes aren’t socialist. Without taxes, we wouldn’t have roads, schools etc. Either this is desperation or she doesn’t understand the difference.
Palin is right about Obama’s socialism. I live in a “formerly” socialist country: Mongolia. I’ve watched that nation progress the last 6 six years further out of it’s old socialist ways as it embraces more free market ideas. It’s not perfect yet, but in many ways it’s better than the kind of socialist philosophy being espoused by Obama.
In Mongolia we have a flat tax. Starting a business is a simple affair. No one worries about how much the government will take from us. Our economy is depressed since we are still climbing out of the developing nation status, but we have growing freedom and growing opportunities.
Obama wants to take my home country, America, backwards, while the former socialists that now control Mongolia (who may not be perfect) want to take their people forward.
I’ve been in Mongolia for 6 years. I’m hoping to return to the U.S. permanantly one day. But the thought of an Obama presidency makes me rethink that.

We are really screwed this year. Not only do we have the candidate pressing socialism, we have the candidate who started his campaign by stating, “No earmarks! No more Porkbarrel politics” and then in true fashion he and his cronies lit up the christmas tree and voted to pass the bailout. The epitome of porkbarrel politics. The exact thing he said he was going to stop.
And I was going to vote for him. Now I’ll just write myself in, instead of vote for this incompetent tool Obama the ACORN lawyer.
[...] Palin: ‘No Time To Experiment With Socialism’ [...]
Senator Obama’s tax plan says the following:
“The typical middle class family will receive well over $1,000 in tax relief under the Obama plan, and will pay tax rates that are 20% lower than they faced under President Reagan.”
and this…
“Families making more than $250,000 will pay either the same or lower tax rates than they paid in the 1990s.”
and this…
“Obama’s plan will cut taxes overall, reducing revenues to below the levels that prevailed under Ronald Reagan”
Source: http://www.barackobama.com, Oct 20, 2008
Why hasn’t anybody noticed that the Obama-Biden campaign is not comparing their tax plan to current tax rates but to tax rates that prevailed before the Bush tax cuts? This is major distortion of the truth.
How is this a surprise to anyone? What little public record Obama allows to be known very clearly shows that he has voted for socialist measures, palled around with socialists, is being enthusiastically endorsed by socialists and endorsed his radical socialist cousin Raila Odinga for Kenyan public office. Listening to him now, he is a moderate but if you had been paying attention to what he was saying at this time last year, it’d be pretty clear that he believes in the government confiscating wealth through taxes and redistributing at the whim of bureaucrats.
I believe Obama’s plan is called a “progressive tax system”, where the wealthy pay a larger percentage of their income than the poor. The U.S. has a progressive tax system NOW.
But what do you call it when Palin puts windfall taxes on oil companies and uses the money to give every Alaskan a check? Is that not socialism?
So called Democratic Socialism has been tried again and again, and has always come up short
you have only to look at canada and the uk to observe their failed socialize medical programs
As always if you want treatment you have to have cash in the pocket
“Accusing Barack Obama of raising taxes is not a new attack, but the Alaska Governor was much stronger today trying to make the Democratic ticket’s tax plan sound like socialism”
She doesn’t have to “try” to make it sound like socialism, IT IS SOCIALISM!
Jesus, if Americans are actually dumb enough to get for this hackneyed rhetoric then you deserve McCain.
Socialism??????????????? Does she even know what she’s talking about?
Opening the doors to One of the Darkest times in our history is very dangerous and very irresponsible; There should not be any media in America that allows McCarthyism; it should be comdemed at it’s first mention. Using words such as Socialist, Marxist, Un-American the calling for investigating the far left members of congress for possible ties to leftist is totally out of line. I understand ratings and selling advertising and gaining market share; I understand there are media basis for both parties out there. But that does not validate the promotion of McCarthyism.
So I am calling on you to not only to stop any use of McCarthyism and to condem those promoting it. I am writing to every major mrdia to ask the they do the same. I am old enough to remember the lives and careers of good American’s that were destoryed by the committee led by Joe McCarthy. Hearing a report yesterday of a women yelling Socialist at Obama, hearing people call him a traitor, un-american shows just how easily this has opened doors that should never have been opened. Condem it now there is no place in America for McCarthyism!
Destroy jobs and hurt our economy? Compared to what? Are you kidding me, lady?
So, how is the “Bailout” plan not socialism? McCain supported that. How is buying up deadbeat mortgages not socialism? McCain’s idea. How is giving everyone $5K for buying health insurance not socialism. McCain’s idea. Pot is not calling the kettle black. (no racial inference intended!)
Another example of the pot calling the kettle black! As governor of Alaska, she has re-distributed millions of dollars of lower 48 people who have done nothing more than pay for their heating oil and gasoline. Where does she think that money comes from, the tooth fairy? It comes from you folks, and that’s “socialism.” It’s a tax added to a barrel of oil by the Alaska government that is passed on in every gallon of gas and heating oil. She wants to lower the price of a gallon of gasoline she can do it immediately by eliminating the “socialistic” tax that she currently charges, she doesn’t have to wait 10 years to bring new oil to market. If she wants to eliminate “socialism” she can do that too by eliminating the payouts to the Alaskan citizens that make her so “popular.” Maybe everybody in the lower 48 should move to Alaska so that we all can get a $2,000 plus check from her. She can also tell the truth about John McCains health proposal that would give families a $5,000 credit towards their health insurance. Sarah, that’s “socialism” too!
Sarah Palin says on no time to experiment with Socialism: “…Whatever you call his tax plan and that redistribution of wealth it will destroy jobs. It will hurt our economy.”
My question to you Sarah is: What do you call whatever has been happening in the last eight years that has hurt our economy and destroyed jobs?! Don’t tell me that the Bush administration has been experimenting with Socialism for the last eight years and you are now figuring it out. Or was it Capitalism that got us where we’re at now?
Redistribution of wealth is the first tenent of socialism, no matter what Obama might say.
But like many other things in this country if you say something long enough, loud enough and often enough it becomes true. So if you listen to the Dems, this is NOT socialism, even though it is.
The Dems really do believe the “Masses are asses” and just as dumb.
SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY —VOTE REPUBLICAN–GO GET EM SARAH !!
Palin was Dead on the money with that speech. In fact I had that same conversation last with some friends of mine. If Obama gets elected I can see an extended recession and the beginnings of a communist state. When has America lost her way with all this.
Tony
I certainly hope the dairypeople in Wisconsin, the ROYAL BLUE leftist state takes Ed the Dairyman’s cue and turns that state around to ultimately trust the McCain/Palin ticket instead of the milk-soaring hot air Obama is spewing. Palin is TESTED; Obama is detested!
Colin Powell is endorsing Obama for only one reason; they are both BLACK! Proof is in the hypocracy of Powell’s swinging back and forth from Democrat to Republican to LIAR Democrat. What gives with these boomerangs?
SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY—VOTE REPUBLICAN—-GO GET EM SARAH !!!!
McCain and Palin are dead on. NoBama is nothing but a Socialist. Not only is he going to take our money and give it to the non deserving, but he will also take away our second amendmant rights. If you don’t want to be able to protect your family, and you want to work you butt off just to give your money to the lazy bums that don’t want to work for a living, go ahead and vote for Nobama. I guarantee millions of Americans will have buyers remorse shortly after Nobama takes office.
Like G.W. Bush before them, neither McCain not Palin could pass a high school test on the US Constitution, let alone economic systems. They remind me of smug, sloppy students who equate knowledge with hyperventilating one’s emotions.
Go get him, Gov. Palin. You are terrific!
Palin is right, anyone that can read a websters dictionary and take the time to look up the words
socialism and communism can and will know the truth .
What does Palin knows about Socialism. A candidate that cannot even defend McCain agenda, cannot sit down and talk with respect. My wife is so ashamed of her.
Palin is an idiot. She does not know what she is talking about. I have lived under socialism and what Obama proposes is not it. He simply proposes a better capitalism like what they have in Denmark or Sweden. Their quality of life is much higher than here in the States and they are much happier as a result.
Gov. Palin is exactly right. If Americans elect Obama, then our nation is no longer the nation founded in 1776. We will have become just another European socialist nation. Maybe if Obama is elected, we can adopt the Euro, too. And sadly, if it would promise to boost our economy, it seems like most Americans would vote for it. Come on, my fellow Americans, vote based on principles, not your pocketbook. Doing what is right will pay off in the long run.
If Obama is not advocating socialism (even in the Western European sense) — what did he mean by the comment that he was going to “spread the wealth around”? Wealth redistribution is one of the tenets of socialism. Capitalism involves wealth creation.
From one expert on socialism - she’s got it right.
Obama is no more than a left-wing, tax and spend, liberal socialist and I would be proud to have him in MY living room, launching his political campaign.
Maybe Senator Government should “spread the wealth” concerning the $150 million he received in September for his campaign.
As a small business owner, myself, I am very concerned with Senator Government’s tax policies. Who is the Government to tell my business what my maximum income should be? Why should the Government be allowed to tax ME unfairly when I have worked hard building MY business and give this money to those who haven’t. I am not a stingy person. I have given to many people I have encountered who were truly needful. It should be my RIGHT to help the people I choose to help.
To help lower income Americans with tax reduction is not Socialism is the way to make the market move because actually people spend more. Socialism is when the Republican President bail out WALL STREET!
The argumentation from the McCain camp gets ever more desperate.
I don’t care what this Secessionist traitor says.
Why is this not coverd in the MSM???
Or McCains ties to a Sadam lobbyist, or his ties to an attorney who defended a home grown terrorist group that shot guns at a women’s clinic…. Why does this get no press?
The fact the McCain gave classified information to the Viet=Cong for medical treatment.
To help lower income Americans with tax reduction is not Socialism is the way to make the market move because actually people spend more. Socialism is when the Republican President bail out WALL STREET!
RIGHT ON, SARAH!
As an American living in a post-communist country, I see the ruins of socialism and communism every single day. How DARE ANYONE THREATEN to take our right to free and fair elections away.
We must fight harder than ever for this election.
Only the total idiot can say that Obama not a Socilaist. Just what does Obama think he is by trying to change our form of government? If he wants to redistribute the wealth, then he can start by redistributing his own, but leave mine alone. No one in this country, under our Constitution, has the right to take from those who have worked their whole life to obtain. Certainly not a junior senator who has such a troubled background with “friends” that look more like the photo line-up on a Post Office bulletin board. Obama’s brand of Socialism is just plain theft… and we know what to do with thieves.
It’s about time someone called it like it is. Too bad McCain didn’t have the guts to call it Socialism to Obama’s face at the debate.
