Republicans have overused the word "socialism" to a point where it's lost much of its sting. I have no problem saying that a combination of capitalism and socialism is the best way to run a modern, civilized country.

Sharpton never said the word capitalism. he nailed Obama as a pure socialist

So, we can now expect the right to revere Sharpton as a font of information?

Sharpton did NOT state Obama is a solialist. Geraldo asked the question "then you can argue that its socialism". Big Perms response was, "Well, First of all, then we have to say the American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama,” Sharpton said. “Let’s not act as though the president didn’t tell the American people – the president offered the American people health reform when he ran. He was overwhelmingly elected running on that and he has delivered what he promised.”

I typically don't care what Big Perm has to say, and more than often he speaks out the side of this mouth, but this time he was dead on. This is what the President campaigned on, this is what he stated the first thing he should do.

Ah, I see, the right will once again exercise their skills at cherry picking information. And come up with a pile of pits once again.

The left always reveres him? Got anything factual saying the majority of the left takes him for anything but the loud-mouthed buffoon he's always been?
