With the bazooka Paulson's been given to blow the dollar away with (unlimited Treasury funds courtesy of Mr. Taxpayer snuck in as part of the Fannie/Freddie bailout), we've already got the best socialism taxpayer money can buy, at least since the New Deal.

You can't get more stealthy on the socialism than approving Lenin inspired bills while pretending to be Christian, pro-life, and speaking with a sweet Texas twang.

All one has to do is look into Obamas background. His was no financial wizard of his own, when he was making 200k per year he still had debts piled up high and couldnt get out of the hole he was in.
Even Michelle said they struggled. ( How can anyone stuggle on 200k per year is beyond me)

He is a total socialist puppet, he wants to destroy the middle class even more with his stupid tax the corporations more, double the capital gains and hurt small businesses with min wage increases that would drive small business out of business.

He wants to take away from the rich, the people who give us jobs and send it overseas to redistribute to other countries.

He wants to tax us beyond even what Jimmy Carter ever did. He wants us to pay more into the UN when he fit 80% of all the expenses now for the UN. ( We need to get out of the UN totally )

Everything he does has a socialist background behind it. His plans are insane.

He will cripple the economy even more then it is now and spin us into a depression.

With his plans we will see him drive corporations out of the US, destroy small business and tax everything under the sun.

We cannot pay down our debt with his lame policies, the first and foremost thing that has to be done is stop the spending and the dems in this congress love to spend the money on socialist type programs such as blood sucking welfare thieves, free housing, free healthcare etc etc etc.

Plan two is to give the corporations who would grow and add more jobs TONS OF TAX breaks and incentives to grow so they can add more jobs. Obama wants to destroy them which is plain stupid.

He is by far the most wacko socialist candidate we have saw in our lifetime. His policies are out of line and almost communist like. He wants to control the money, people and the government into his global citizen idea.

People wake up, globalist Obamas ideas will hurt us, it will weaken us and it will drive our standard of living down which is what Obama wants to do.

All the while he suckers people into his cult and who benefits???? He does.

Time to toss him out like the rat he is.

How the hell can we afford your man McCain's tax plan???? More war with Iraq, probably with Iran too. Huge tax cuts for the rich who DON"T NEED IT!!! increased fiscal irresponsibility. Making b.s. statements like balancing the budget by your first term, etc etc. McCain has no grip on reality. I think they call it dementia.

Interesting. From your source.

"Yet a recent AP poll found that only 6% of Americans would describe Obama as "liberal," let alone socialist."

Does this mean 94% of Americans don't agree with you that Senator Obama is a Socialist or even a liberal?

A few thoughts.

First, Barak is a prototypical current day democrat- big government, big taxes, big spending, redistribution of wealth. The upside is that at least some of the money goes into attempting to help people. The downside is that much more of the money goes to fraud and others who do not need it. Also, businesses continue to leave the country and take their jobs with them and the wealthy beef up their tax shelters.

Second, McCain isn't quite a prototypical republican, but he's fairly close. Less taxes, smaller government. The upside is that we can trim at least 35% of the current budget in waste, fraud & abuse alone- but will he do it? Also, more businesses stay put and are fostered. The downside is that fewer people get social services who really need it. Also, it's much harder to balance a budget when tax revenues are declining.

Each side has their good points & bad. To me the question is, which one can more effectively pursue their economic agendas for the good.

Yes, he is a socialist who will return us to the big deficits of the 1990s as opposed to the wonderful 8 years of fiscal displine and utopia Bush has given us. And the dollar is doing so well. Here is a little math for you- big tax breaks now coupled with debt equals HUGE taxes in the future. I'd prefer to pay as we go. Obama can't do any worse than Bush.

He says yes. He will start with cutting spending and reining in waste and fraud.
