The Republicans are screaming "Socialism" like it's 1950 all over again! Everything they say seems to lead right to it being thrown out there. Obama is simply trying to hold the rich accountable and remove the Bush tax cuts given to those making more than a quarter million a year.
When you think Socialism, you think of the government taking and distributing wealth evenly among the people.
Nothing screams socialism more than Alaska's system that demands billions from the oil industry and sends out equal checks to all Alaskans each year. Hmm, why not do that all over this country? The Governor of Alaska boosted the amount $1200 to a total of $3269, is she a Socialist?
And no, "Socialism" isn't where you're given $150,000.00 worth of elitist designer clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus thanks to a Republican National Committee purchase, we call that something else in America ---
WELFARE. And no, "Socialism" isn't where you charge the state to fly your kids around to events that they're not needed at, even as far away as the East Coast, and then tell your staff to write on the receipts that they were requested to appear. We call that something else in America ---
FRAUD. Palin fired the Alaska public safety commissioner for not firing Palin's brother-in-law for personal reasons. We call that something else in America ---
ABUSE OF POWER. Palin also laughed on air as an elderly woman's slightly overweight body was made fun of very harshly on a radio show, and laughed as the woman was called a "bitch". We call that ---
IMMATURITY. And Palin fought against the US Government's attempts to protect animals on the Endangered Species list, just so her trophy hunting buddies, who support her political campaigns, could have some fun sport in Alaska at the expense of nearly extinct animals. Again, we call that something other than "Socialism", we call that ---
CRUELTY. She's not suited for the presidency, and John McCain didn't even know her well at all - and he said the person he picked was going to be someone he knew very well. He showed poor judgment choosing her.
I hope America will show more discernment than John McCain did by picking her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency if he were to pass, when she is clearly an extremist who would force families to make their 13 year old, raped by a stranger, to have the rapists baby, but let's just stop there - PALIN IS NOT WHAT AMERICA NEEDS.
