Do the Republicans these days have a campaign mode other than "waaahrggbblhhhh?"

Psshhh. Fark Independents have been telling us for years that Bush is a socialist. Do you realize how incredibly difficult it must have been for them to fill in that box on election day? Twice? The sheer force of will it must've taken for them to vote for a socialist is a testament to their heroic, rugged individualism.

They did the work many Americans didn't have the stomach for. But where is their parade?

upcoming: rnc accuses dog that took a dump in their yard of embracing socialism

Still the same: RNC has no clue what socialism really is.

Everybody knows the GOP. If it's elections and it's stolen, that's the group to speak to. Pretends everyone else is socialist. Wishes they were socilaist. Even tells their President he's socialist. But he's about as socialist as he is a f*cking monkey.

The Republicans? Are these the same guys who have been wrong about just about everything for the past 8 years? Yeah, I'm sure that they're right about this.

Socialism is cool. Like, you know, facebook and myspace and stuff.

Yeah.

You CLAIMED him
You CLENCHED him
You KEEP him!

One day, we will be able to retroactively search-and-replace that word from the space/time continuum and replace it with "Pedophile".

I Said: But he's about as socialist as he is a f*cking monkey.

So he's pretty damn socialist right?

Watching the remains of the Republican party rip itself apart has to be the most amusing thing I've seen in a while.

Socialism is not being practiced anywhere in the federal government other than the banking industry, and even there it was originally socialized by the US Constitution and later given even more power with the Federal Reserve. These guys are idiots.

Yeah. I couldn't really work the Snatch quote in any other way though, even though now I've changed the meaning entirely.

Funny, It was Ole Honest Abe hisself that sed the house divided against itself cannot stand.

cretinbob: Still the same: RNC has no clue what socialism really is.

Their half-right. The bailouts are the socialization of the banking and automotive industries to a degree, but he's privatized so many jobs that were once government-only that it still negates the trillions we've spent on buying private shares in businesses. As far as the egalitarian aspects of socialism, not so much.

Socialism: Whatever the Republicans want it to mean!

1derful: Their half-right. The bailouts are the socialization of the banking and automotive industries to a degree

In what way does the federal government now own the means of production or distribution in either of those industries?

Custer: Funny, It was Ole Honest Abe hisself that sed the house divided against itself cannot stand.

Who allowed his Generals to commit atrocities that most Liberal Farkers would condemn if it was against anyone but southerners.

/fark Abe

The RNC can go eat a bowl of closet-gay evangelical dick. They don't represent anyone, they just like to attack and whine.

If only it were true, America could use a little socialism.

It is more like Italian Fascism. Privately Owned, but Controlled buy the government. See the new mandates for Fuel Effieceint cars as part of the Bail out Plan.

If you think Bush was bad, Gore and Kerry would've been worse. A lot worse.

/Voted for Bush twice. Not happy about how he turned out, but I'd rather be ruled badly than ruled by Old Europe and the Environazis.

globalwarmingpraiser: WHaAArgARblL

Whoa, cool, I can randomly capitalize in the course of typing nonsense too.

Well if he is doing socialist policies what else are we supposed to call him. These bale outs have really made me see him in a new light and his legacy has been stripped of the prestige it wouldve had 2 years ago. The guy was a very good American president for a while but now hes just an American psycho, its like he lost his equilibrium. The liberal newsies are probably out of there minds not knowing how to spin this. There so used to giving him the shaft but now hes one of there own! His liberal policies are coming back to bite now though and these are harsh times. My friend got laid off from his job as a machinist and his stocks have plunged from 310 a share to Yuma (thats slang for nada). It will truly be a dark night when Obama is sworn into office but at the same time, it will just be a transition from one socialist to another and the new world we have to look forward to is bleak either way. Only the terminator of socialist policies can be our salvation, and his name is Ron Paul.

Yeah? Well you self admittedly have poor judgment. Some of us learned our lessons about the Republicans after the first Bush term. But some people are slow learners. Bring on the "Environazi" fun time!

globalwarmingpraiser: It is more like Italian Fascism. Privately Owned, but Controlled buy the government. See the new mandates for Fuel Effieceint cars as part of the Bail out Plan.

Are you joking? That 'control' has been in place for years, ever since the EPA first started regulating fuel efficiency standards. In no way does our government have any say in the corporate decision-making of any industry aside from already existing legislation. We can't force GM to only build electric cars now.

Shaggy_C:

Ownership options, troll, ownership options.

"We can't be a party of small government, free markets and low taxes while supporting bailouts and nationalizing industries, which lead to big government, socialism and high taxes at the expense of individual liberty and freedoms," Solomon Yue, an Oregon member and co-sponsor of the resolution told the Times.

What the hell does he think his party has been doing all this time?
Should have started that little campaign 8 years ago.

I reread my post, thought maybe I'd clarify, but realized some other farker would do it faster.

brubakan: If only it were true, America could use a little socialism.

We already have a little socialism, and it does us good.

Capitalism does us good, too. To a degree, anyway.

It's when either one of them is allowed to run rampant that the trouble begins.

Darconix: You libs always use "b-b-b-but Bush bailouts" when Obama gets accused of socialism, and now that we're agreeing with you, it's asinine? Yes, Bush is a socialist. Yes, bank and auto bailouts are incongruent with the party of limited, small government. Yes, we agree with you. What's so asinine about that?

Asinine is being late to the game, after the damage is done, then yelling out "I told ya so".
It's to farkin late for that.

Agreed with everything you said up until that point.

Eh? We own preferred stock, which is non-voting. We can't even get a small voice in how the company is run.

globalwarmingpraiser: It is more like Italian Fascism. Privately Owned, but Controlled buy the government.

So government control over private entities constitutes fascism now? You mean like those jackbooted thugs, the utility companies?

Hm. Come to think of it you may have a point.

Hideously Gigantic Smurf: It's when either one of them is allowed to run rampant that the trouble begins.

Agreed, but I don't think the binary thinkers (and I use that term loosely) on Fark are going to get the concept.

Which is why they're half-right. The state gets a degree of ownership, which is one tenant of socialism.

But really, since it's the government that owns the stock, they can just enact regulatory laws that would force the businesses to do what they wanted to anyway, regardless of their status as stockholders.

Are you saying libs disagree with people who disagree with them? That we vote based on issues? Because that's just INSANE!

Exactly, which is is what they were already doing (see globalwarmingpraiser's example earlier about fuel economy standards). The fact that we pump money into their company doesn't change a thing, really, other than our mindset about just how far we'll go to protect corporate interests in this country.
