Who is the best candidate still running in 2008 to force Socialism/Communism in the USA?

I would say Hillary would be best to push Socialism, but Obama would beat her and push Communism.

What do YOU think??

It might be a good idea to go to the right cemetery to dig up Joe McCarthy, bring him back to life and ask the same questions.

Do you even know what Communism or Socialism actually is? To compare the likes of Mao and Stalin to the current candidates....*shakes head*

See this is why I have a hard time taking the extreme right seriously.

None of the above, cause none of them are even close from being socialist or communist.

Are American so low educated that they can't make the difference, or is it just Republican supporters?

Or these guys? I wonder if they ever ran a presidential nominee.

CPUSA Online -

If anyone responds with one of the three mainstream candidates, they are in obvious need of a history lesson, or at the very least, a good dictionary.

hysteria FAUX NEWS says Obama is a Communist so it must be true! I really feel sad for Conservatives because they have literally lost their minds.

Well I won't go as far to call Obama or Hillary Communists.. They clearly share the same interests as socialist countries and programs. Socialist and Communist have the same goals in many ways in reguards to government power and controls. Both hold the belief in the power of the state and basic "common good" agenda. The common good being whatever the government tells you is good for you and the state. Communism is the extreme of socialism. But they both share the same cloth. Either way Obama and Hillary will bring us CLOSER to socialism then we are ready are thanks to FDR and LBJ and George W Bush. By the way the Joe McCarthy reference is funny considering 25% of our state department were communists. Also lot of other people on this list were communists as well. Nothing wrong with a man standing up for Freedom when he sees communists destroying his country.
