sfek, "socialist" have the same resonance as a conservative bogeyman today, as it did, say, 20 years ago? -- (link) - znufrii Mar 2, 08:09 21
- No. Partially because of the fall of Communism and because of the public's willingness to try something new after 8 years of GWB -- nm - con_carne Mar 2, 08:13 4
  - I'm just waiting for the day where the charge of socialism is answered with, "Yeah, so what?" -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:25 3
    - Seriously - con_carne Mar 2, 08:28 2
      - this abouts sums me up -- nm - znufrii, pinko commie liberal Mar 2, 08:29 1
        
        I think you're seriously discounting the benefits of capitalism - Alan More Mar 2, 08:38

    - The people complaining about "socialism" don't particularly care for those things either. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 2, 08:18 8
      - until they have to confront the reality that actually doing anything about it would cost them votes -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:22 1
        
        and/or the political support of their colleagues -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:25
      - Some of them don't, but some do. Mike Huckabee is pretty keen on farm subsidies for example -- nm - Alan More Mar 2, 08:22 2
        
        Any politician who thinks they'll ever be on the ballot in Iowa is pretty keen on farm subsidies. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 2, 08:24 1
        
        I think Huckabee's support is pretty genuine - it's all wrapped up in his views of US soverieignty, food/energy independence, and so on - Alan More Mar 2, 08:30

        People can not like something and still know that there's nothing they can do about it. -- nm - Endermandias Mar 2, 08:23 1

  - stupid socialist military. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 08:14
  - that's probably almost entirely true. -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:13

  - hah! -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:12 1
    - only because I've actually had work to deal with this morning -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 08:12
