So says the Republican Party.

I think the Republicans have just about run out of ideas.
From the video: Shawn Steel - National Committeeman, California:
Another group is thinking that Socialism kind of obscures the real issue that the Democrats are doing. And the Chairman of Tennessee said, "That it's really not a matter of Socialism, but it's more like Fascism, where the Government controls the Corporations, the Corporations are still semi-private."
I can definitely see how this idea of the Government controlling the Corporations would bother the Republican Party. It's crazy. It's a totally backwards idea. It's downright Un-American!
In the USA, it's the Corporations that control the Government! That's the way it is. That's the way it should stay. Any other idea would be just crazy talk. God bless the USA.

If someone is a socialist they should just be honest about it. I'd respect them more. The Europeans socialists don't have a problem being called socialists. The American socialist do. I think that's the whole point.

Here's one American that has no problem saying he's a Socialist. As time goes on, you're going to see lots more Americans proudly proclaiming themselves Socialists.

Yes, I agree, all of the closet socialists need to just come out of the closet. hahaha What I mean is that they shouldn't be affraid to call themselfs by the party name that is in direct opposition to the ideas that current US system was founded on. Slam! But really, this is America. We can all have our own ideas and change the things that we don't believe it. And help to make things that we do believe in to happen.
EDIT: Ok really, how is no'one offended by this? I wrote this like hours ago now and there has been no bites on my flame bait at all...very disapointing.
