Hot Seat: Socialism Attacks

A vote for Obama is a vote for Rev. Wright.

Socialized medicine (check); promising to not raise taxes on those that make under $250,000 -- DO THE DEMS REALLY BELIEVE THAT?

If they do, I have some swamp land in Fort Worth, Texas to sell them!! (I'm even a realtor)

OBAMA = Slick Willie #2 (WHO is this new guy who no one knows about?? Very interesting. Makes ya wonder why B.O. is not talking about him. This guy has tooooooooooooooo many secrets and he's a socialist.

McCAIN will win. The American people are NOT stupid.

------------------------------------------------------Then, perhaps- you should consider Rev Wright elected.

a vote for Mccain is a vote for war and death. More greed by the rich that are pocketing 600 billion a year. warm = money.

USSR used to stand " Union of Soviet Socialist Republic" If Obama gets in (which he won't) it will stand for " United States Socialist Republic" God help us! Thats scarry as Hell! Thats right from his mouth- Spread the wealth around! Go Mccain/Palin

Slick Willie
Clinton was one of the best presidents we ever had.

There has never been lines like this. The young voters are turning out big for Obama. White Black Hispanic. Obama wins BIG

Yea Clinton the slut puppy!

What do you call the Bush Administration's buying bank stock? Some people need to back to school to have some idea about what they are talking about.

I do not have a statement, I have a QUESTION, how are either candidate sure they can get congress and the senate to agree to their plans? Congress has not done much to help the low man on the totem pole that I can see.

McCain is only partly right - it's more than socialism, it's outright marxism. All hail Obama!

SAVE IT. REPUGS ARE TO DUMB TO SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSH AND CHANEY EVEN AFTER THEY ROB THE COUNTRY BLIND.
START WARS TO MAKE MONEY. KIDS BEING KILLED IN VAIN FOR POWER AND MONEY. DRAFT COMING, CANT SEE PAST THE COLOR OF SOMEONES SKIN.

Obama has always had socialist tendencies.

I think some of the people who answered "No" actually feel Obama's policies are Communism, not Socialism. BTW the only good thing about Slick Willie is he was too busy partying and chasing fat interns to do much damage. Sure, he let Bin Laden get away, forced the CIA to reveal they had his satelite phone tapped when he insisted on a criminal trial after the 1st Trade Center attack, did nothing when the Cole was attacked, but at least he let the dot com bubble alone which pumped up the economuy instead of hitting them with a windfall profits tax, and he did not try to rob the working poor to give to the non-working poor.

If it is socialism to give middle class tax breaks what was it called when Bush gave all the tax breaks to the wealthy?
I guess it is ok to have socialism for the wealthy?

McCAIN will win. The American people are NOT stupid.

I do hope so..I work for a small business who has already said we are in for a leaner staff.

FYI I am a white, single mom of two children in NY. I am without medical insurance and unable to get any help as I make too much money for any assistance at all. However, I need to work two jobs to make ends meet and am still behind in all my payments. I do NOT live beyond my means and do not charge all my wants.

As for spreading the wealth.. get off your lazy butt, get a job or go back to school to better yourself and get a better job. Do not come calling on my monies or my job for your lazy butt to be taken care of.

Obama wants to redistribute the wealth. He said it. Let's all understands he wants to impose this socioeconomic theory upon America. It IS socialism, by the way. (Each according to their ability, each according to their needs...)
Now, spreading money around seems noble. Hell, let's just give everyone an extra $50,000. Pick any $$$ amount. But the economy doesn't work that way.
And, as a small business owner, I can honestly say that "typical" minimum wage workers do not work that way.
In my business, we had on-going trouble getting our staff of 20 workers to show up for their scheduled hours... They always had an excuse. "I had a headache." "My daughter's father didn't pick her up cause his girlfriend had car trouble." "I needed to take my mother in to a doctor's appointment and by the time I got back at 11 a.m., I figured the day was shot so I didn't bother coming in...." (My favorite:) "The ghost in my bathroom wouldn't let me leave my apartment."
So, we instituted a GENEROUS on-time, filled schedule bonus. We would add a bonus of 25% to their bi-weekly paycheck if they merely showed up on time and/or filled their printed schedule at a 90% rate. (That's right, we even built in a ten percent forgiveness rate.)
Guess how many times, in three years, I've had to give the 25% bonus? Only once! Three years, average 20 employees employed, and only once did one person show up for their scheduled hours.
And now Barack Obama wants to GIVE these people money? As if they will rise themselves out of poverty or use the money to better their world? No, they will increase their HBO subscriptions, buy better quality/quantity of drugs and alcohol, and work less. To be clear, they will not save for their children's education, they will not save to purchase their own homes, they will not be motivated in any way to ADD to the productivity our nation so desires.
Obama policies clearly demonstrate he has NO UNDERSTANDING of why there are different socioeconomic classes in America and the world. And his policies of redistribution will fail.
