As I said earlier, keep up the prejudiced right wing rhetoric and you will cause millions of independents to move to Obama.

Independents are moving to Romney by a double digit factor.

Democrat strategy if failing miserably.

Blinders adjusted?

Don't need blinders because I can read. The evidence is all above.

The above comment is important.

Call it Marxism, Socialism or Communism, they are all 'hot button' terms we've been taught to hate, fear or at least be suspicious of since we were little kids. So naturally a thread using those terms to describe the President has a high emotional tone.

History could not be more clear in proving that large scale experiments in communism or socialism do not work. They run counter to human nature by suppressing individuality, the desire to achieve and elements of free choice. But if we are going to be objective, and despite how much we have been taught to love and respect capitalism, in it's pure forms it also has proven unworkable. The founding fathers were certain the American experiment would fail dismally unless there was a government strong enough to insure all of the enumerated rights of individuals.

The United States has always been a blend of capitalism and socialism. Everyone understands and accepts that unless they are so frightened of the word 'socialism' as to be in total denial of it's existence. Law enforcement and the courts, public schools, hospitals, community centers, etc. are just a few examples of socialism, necessary and supported everywhere.

So it is no surprise that the two consensus choices for President in 2012 are both Capitalist/Socialists. The Republican primary electorate would simply not support a real conservative, so the all hopes are now pinned on a 'moderate'. The moderate is one who espouses a good deal of the socialist agenda, not the least of which is government supported and regulated health care delivery system. No amount of emphasis on his experience as a capitalist businessman can change that.

Blowing smoke about "Marxism" and "Socialism" doesn't fool anyone anymore, and when it is part of the agenda of Romney supporters, it makes others hesitant to align themselves with a candidate who appeals to such extremists.

Romney more trusted by 61% to run the economy over Obama.

What do you think is going to be the deciding factor in November?

Game over?

Poll: Romney preferred over Obama to handle the economy

Richie, you are savvy enough to know that polls taken now will mean nothing come November.

You guys always say this except if the polls bolster your own argument.

I don't know who "you guys" are, but I am saying it about any electoral poll.

I say "you guys" in the context that YOU posted your comment in response to my linking a poll favorable to Romney, when the previous polls purporting to give Obama any advantage was ignored by "you guys".

is there anything on that list that you would call blatantly untrue?

googled?
 

has anyone bothered to google the Democratic Socialists of America and find the list of 70 congressmen and 11 judicial members? just ask the question on google and it will come up. apparently, many on the left think socialism is just dandy. many conservatives do not.

They can't help themselves.

I am still waiting from HulaBaby for an answer to my question. In case you forgot,

"1. Dick Cheney's one daughter is a lesbian and got married a short time ago to another woman. Cheney's reaction was, "Former Vice President Dick Cheney has expressed his delight that his lesbian daughter Mary married her longtime partner Heather Poe on Friday.

“Mary and Heather have been in a committed relationship for many years, and we are delighted that they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to have that relationship recognized,” Cheney and his wife, Lynne, said in a statement.

2. Astronaut - and national hero - Sally Ride, who died yesterday at age 61 from cancer - was a lesbian. She and her partner had a committed relationship for 27 years.

What reaction would you have, Hulababy, if your son or daughter said they were going to marry a same-sex partner? Would you still love and support him/her or disown them? Think about it and then answer.

Also, what do you think of a lesbian being called a national hero?
