It doesn't seem like it unless she doesn't have a sense of humor.

Governor Palin's Reading List

[George008]

Out of fairness (with Palin being linked to Fascism), I am attaching an article by the UK's Melanie Phillips who writes about Obama's ties to Marxism. IMO he has stronger ties to Marxism than Palin does to Fascism.

Wow.

Damn.

Are you serious?! This is one of the people she admires?!

[Greg's GL]

IA. No one should feel pressured into joining one political party or another. Obviously, IA with the Dems appearing as the people's platform.

Really? Social issues are important so you lean to Repubs? How do you feel of Edwin Meese in the 80s having two men arrested for having consensual sex in their own home? Is that something you agree with? Or GWB attempting to write discrimination into the Constitution? I could go on. For a socially liberal person, in my mind, the Repubs are not the way to go.

But I really really have a problem with the Democrats getting blamed for the Republican's social stances. That is reaching. ALOT.

So, does anyone believe Obama is a Marxist?

This Palin thing just keeps getting better and better.

[Wales2004]

Say what????

I just want to let you know that I am a truly troubled person. When I saw this it reminded me of Keith Olbermann. He played a clip from The View Friday where McCain was saying something about the Constitution and Whoopi sad something about it meaning she would be a slave (or something to that effect) and Olbermann commented on it to point out that McCain didn't deny it.

[Adam]

An argument could also be made that George Bush can be compared to Adolf Hitler.......

So I would say Obama is just as much as a Marxist, as Bush is a Nazi.

I think you can see where I am going with that......

Same thing in respect to Palin. I don't believe she is a fascist, but the notion that she is quoting fascist literature begs the unavoidable question, who the hell is fact checking her speeches/campaign?

[Greg's GL]

Um....nope. I don't.

Too funny.

[George008]

You didn't read what I said.

[Greg's GL]

OK, Casey. Please clarify this for me then, because I interpret this as you saying that government should stay out of our private lives, and that's why you lean to the right (Repubs).

Then the second sentence in bold is basically blaming Dems (I assume for Social Security - you reference FDR) for the Repubs getting into our private lives.

Please let me know if I got this wrong......

[Roman]

Yeah. Casey posted an article stating that Obama is a Marxist.

Just wondered if anyone agreed?

And if the Muslim stuff comes up:

[George008]

You got it right this time.

The last post you put out you said I side with Republicans because social issues are important to me. That's not what I said. I vote for Republicans because they generally stand for smaller government.

Yes, social security, income tax, payroll tax, and government sponsored welfare. (Contributions from FDR)

Yeah, I believe Democrats lead the charge with growing the government, then Republicans used the larger platform to push social issues. Both parties have been at fault for growing the government. I am not saying that all Republicans are right or all Democrats are wrong. This is just my opinion.

[Wales2004]

Thanks for clearing that up because I was wondering why you posed that question it was so out of the blue. I don't read any of Casey's posts any more so I didn't see that. I'm not really good at discussing anything substantive so I just try to stick to the amen chorus.

[Greg's GL]

I see. Ideally, and probably most people are like this, if we could merge the good things about one candidate with the other it would be a perfect world. Until there is a way for a 3rd party candidate to have an impact on elections, this back and forth between Repubs and Dems will continue.
