Because the republican Gov't in power right now doesn't want the label on them. US own banks whats next?

Funny as McCain himself said he did not believe Obama is a socialist...
KING: You don't believe Barack Obama is a socialist, do you?
MCCAIN: No. But, I do believe -- I do believe that he's been in the far left of American politics...

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, THEN ITS A DUCK

Because it's a slur. They know it's not true. It's just another thing to gain political points with.

Ayers, Wright, Socialists, Communists, Muslim, Elitist, etc....

Hmm, I wonder where we keep getting all this ammunition from?

It reminds me of the Salem witch trials. Somehow saying someone is a socialist is suppose to make it true.

And I guess telling 300 million people that he wants to "Spread the wealth" (The core belief of socialism) could not be misconstrued...could it?

Because none of the other smears have been successful. Thank god this will be over in 24 hours and the McCan't campaign can go away and his spin doctors can crawl back in their hole until 2012.
