Primary Election 2012: Conservative Fears Of Permanent Welfare State May Create Wild Ride
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- At this weekend's South Carolina GOP convention, Republican lawmakers warned that a second term for President Obama would kill America's independent spirit and guarantee a permanent big government welfare state. If voters agree, look out. The Republican primary may turn out to be a wild ride, and a surprise candidate could emerge late in the game.
Sen. Jim DeMint, the Palmetto State's conservative firebrand, has said for months said the upcoming presidential election "is our last chance to get it right." "2012 is when we have to lay it all on the line," DeMint told a few thousand delegates. "We have to go to the mat."
"There's no question that we are moving, step by step, closer to socialism. So that puts democracy at risk to some extent," Rep. Tim Scott, a Republican who represents South Carolina's 1st district, said in an interview. "How much, how soon, I'm not sure. But if you're financially bankrupt, I think everything's at risk."
Rick Santorum, a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, even raised the specter of Benito Mussolini's Fascist Italy in a speech here Friday night while explaining why his grandfather emigrated to the U.S. His uncle, he said, "used to get up in a brown shirt and march and be told how to be a good little fascist."
"I don't know, maybe they called it early pre-K or something like that, that the government sponsored to get your children in there so they can indoctrinate them," Santorum said.
It's unclear how deeply grassroots conservatives have internalized and processed these dire warnings from party leaders. Interviews with several delegates at the South Carolina GOP's annual convention this weekend revealed basic agreement with the rhetoric of Republican leaders. But many of them also had a hard time expressing the specific ways in which they see the growth of government and of the federal debt impacting their every day lives.

1. Fear of a Black President Part 2
yup
No disagreement with a leftist president. has nothing to do with him being black. I realize it's easier to play the race card than to try to defend him and his accomplishments, or lack of.

You seriously don't see how Obama is trying to nudge us into what the very first definition above states?

8. They don't
I asked one just the other day to name a socialist country.
Reply? *crickets* *crickets*
Canada, England, France, Germany, and most all of Europe.
You may also notice those countries are doing away with some of the socialism because they can't afford it.

14. It is clear not a single repug knows what socialism is
Stupid douchbags.
I posted the definition come on over and tell me how Obama is not working on what is in the first entry.
-
What sucks for the primarives...we do know.
-
The DUmmies could have gotten their dream candidate, Alvin Green, and they'd still complain.
**** 'em.
-
What the hell, I'd vote for Alvin. :cheersmate:
-
Democrats ran Obama because he was black.
Republicans hate him because he's RED.
-
Actually many of those Socialist European nations have been moving more and more Capitalistic, at least a mixture of the two. We seem to be heading straight for Socialism mixed with Fascism, and yes, what Obama and the NLRB is trying to do with Boeing, essentially control a private corporation, is Fascism. How many private businesses does Obama own now?
