Contrary to what's reported, buying a gun is nothing like buying a gallon of milk.

 

Uhm, that's kind of a good thing, IMO.

 

He is very obviously a Marxist. A better approach would be for you to defend Marxism, which would be perfectly legitimate.

 

Explain to me exactly how, and with proof, anything he's said or done OTHER THAN THIS makes him a Marxist.

If it's about his not wanting to tax the middle class, then you're gonna have a hell of a time explaining that one. If it's about taxes in general, then we've been a Marxist nation ever since income tax came into being in America. If it's about "redistributing wealth", then I remind you that "trickle-down economics" was a way of "redistributing wealth" as well.


Sorry, but if "speading the wealth" is the best you've got, then you've got nothing.

 

Also your use of Palin's talking about how Alaska shares in the wealth of money that comes from the use of Alaska's resources has absolutely nothing to do any sort of socialism. How are you even pretending it does?

 

I'm not pretending it does. I'm pointing out how two different people saying the same thing are viewed two completely different ways. Ironic, no?

 

The problem is that he said was going to stick with public financing until it became apparent that he was going to get a shit ton of money from donations.  If McCain had done this, people would be all over him for it.  But when Obama did it, it's "change".

 

Hey, it's his choice to make, and his choice to change. Sorry, but his choice not to take federal funds is a tempest in a teapot. Let's not pretend that he's the only politician to ever change his mind. McCain has changed his stance on many issues when it suited his purposes - most egregiously on offshore drilling, which he was against right up until the point that gas prices shot through the roof, and he thought it would be the best issue to pull votes away from Obama. Up until then, he and Obama were both against offshore drilling. Ironic, no?

 

Anyways, it's all academic at this point. Congrats, President Obama. :)
