Obama is not about to be...


...taking the profits away from insurance companies by offering a pure public health insurance or nationalizing any banking/finance system to protect working people instead of the current bailout ripoff of our tax dollars these Wall St. thieves are currently enjoying.

So why is it that wingnuts call him a Socialist?

2. Because it's a trigger word...for people who are probably unable to actually define Socialism.
Emotional response is always so much easier on the faculties than reasoned debate or consideration.

4. If they brand Obama as a leftist, they can redefine the center and easily tug further right
Edited on Wed May-27-09 11:50 PM by Oregone
Its been happening years, and unfortunately, no one is tugging back effectively

The Democratic "Third Way" does not mitigate the ground lost under Republican rule.
