5. WHAT AGENDA??? WHAT SOCIALISM?????

What the hell is this loon talking about?

Know any socialists who would continue the nearly 2-trillion-costing Bewsh Tax Cuts for the

Know any socialists who steadfastly refuse to raise taxes on the wealthy even though we desperately need to?

Know any socialists who sign a Big-Insurance friendly health care bill into law, completely ignoring Single Payer, which any smart society who values human life uses?

This is a "socialist"??

I'd hate to see their ideal Republican.

I don't know, do I have to be the only "journalist" in the room who asks this of these dickheads? Or is she just going to run like the wind if I ask her that, just like ALL of these bully cowards??
