"If Obama gets elected we'll become a Socialist country." From progressoid

[tuolumnejim]

I can't belive these moran Dummies think that osama obama is moderate in anything.  It would be great if all the DUmmies all across this great Nation of ours would come forward and state their opinions out loud so that people can really see what the enemy looks like, all these commie DUmmies wishing for a socialist Nation.

"If Obama gets elected we'll become a Socialist country."
 Advertisements [?]Everything seemed to be going so well. Nice day, new client, everybody was happy.
Then an associate of new client walks in. He and new client start with some small talk which eventually leads to politics. I didn't hear all of it but here are some choice high..err...low-lights of their conversation:

First it was the "government is sticking it's nose in everybody's business" rant.

And, "Just let me do my job and raise my family the way I want."

Followed by, "I don't want government run day-care, I don't want my taxes paying for that."

Then straight from Rush or Beck or some such brainiac, "So what if it take 10 years for the oil from ANWR to get here, at least we'd have it." 

But I had to busy myself elsewhere to avoid screaming and losing the job when I heard, "If Obama gets elected we'll become a Socialist country." 


Unfortunately I needed the money, so I had to keep my mouth shut.  But it's this kind of myopic, self-centered, ill-informed public that we have to deal with. Even when we get past flag-pin gate, there is this kind of shit to deal with.

Sometimes I just...

DUmmies can't wait for Obama to be president so they can drink the free DOUBLE-UP and eat that rainbow stew.

You know you want it, why are you offended when called on it?

You're right, in the Merle Haggard song it is Bubble-up. I was in a hurry and there used to be, at least around here, a Double-up cola and I confused the two.

The DUmmies wouldn't care as long as it was free.

53. Unfortunately, a lot of Repubs are deathly afraid of the horrors of even Canadian socialism.
 Never mind China or the USSR. It's pretty pathetic.

China and the USSR is exactly what you want, stupid.

couldn't define socialism if you asked them.

Political discussion has been so dominated by conservatives for so long that the right-wing shills can characterize a centrist like Obama as a "socialist" and not be laughed off the airwaves.

Obama a "centrist"? What illegal substance are you smoking?
