What are these aspects of socialism and where does one draw the line. And, if majority of a countries assests is owned by a handful of private participants and they pull all the strings then how much different it is from socialism? The article said that such fear tactics have never been used at such level, you were implying like it was commonplace for parties to do this. Other terms used - peer pressure, fear, reactionary - terms that all wealthy people will like to associate with. We need a poll.
you just have a way of SEEING right thru their cliches, hoorays and backslapping exposing the hypocrisy .. you have a LOGICAL MIND keep up the good work

Are not all of your questions, and their answers, almost entirely subjective? No matter what I say you'll simply disagree. The article said: "Manipulating donors with crude caricatures and playing on their fears is hardly unique to Republicans or to the RNC â Democrats raised millions off George W. Bush in similar terms â but rarely is it practiced in such cartoonish terms."
Not really, I am arguing a point and certainly not disagreeing with someone entirely. The whole Socialism charge is being used to vilify someone simply to muddy the field. And all this is nothing new, the Red Scare for e.g. was used to suppress political dissent, you simply had to call someone a Communist and that way you can avoid opposition no matter what the person's actual stand was. Ofcourse its not unique to Republicans, but how is that an excuse to raise the bar on unprecedented fear-mongering among your own base?
