Obama did say he wanted to spread the wealth.

That IS socialism.

Barack Hussein Obama, wrong on socialism, wrong for this nation.

'But Palin disagreed when asked whether she thinks the $700 billion government bailout plan and bank rescue efforts had socialist aspects.

"No, I do not," Palin said. "And I believe that there are those measures that had to be taken by Congress to shore up not only the housing market but the credit markets, also to make sure that that's not frozen, so that our small businesses have opportunities to borrow and that was the purpose, of course, of that part of the bailout and the shoring of the banks."'

Duh! Ms. Palin - The federal government taking over the banking industry IS socialism. And John McCain signed onto it. Talk about splitting hairs and talking out of both sides of your mouth...

McCain will socialize the debt from the last 8 years of failed republican policies ("stimulus" packages, squandered corporate welfare, tax breaks for super rich and an unnecessary war). That's socialism at it's worst. He doesn't want social programs that can lessen the tax burden through preventative means and provide necessary benefits to the people, yet he'll require the responsible taxpayers to foot the bill for the financial debacle that came from deregulation. Republicans=Socialization without benefits.

Apparently, on Obama’s released tax records, he discloses income from speaking fees. The problem? Accepting payment for speaking fees when you’re a legislator is AGAINST Illinois state law.

Apparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was PROHIBITED from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act.

But what about Barack Obama’s 2000 and 2002 tax returns?

2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a “Foundation director/Educational speaker.”

2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for “Legal services/attorney” (and nothing for speaking).

2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for “LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.”

These “speaking fees” are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s.

That’s not change we can believe in.

Just to sum up, the media can find Joe the Plumber’s tax woes within 24 hours of his having dared to question The One’s narrative, but they can’t find a clear ethical violation in the released records of a man who has been campaigning for President for TWO YEARS now.

Another truth-telling moment brought to you by our fair and objective “tanning bed” news media.

somebody ...quick

ask her to explain socialism...

and the difference between socialism and capitalism

or the difference between socialism and fascism.

you all know...

whether you support her or not...

she can't.

Palin is the human equalivant of the symbol of the Republican party. Does she really think people are listening to her? Her 15 minutes of fame is almost over. Soon she will go home to Alaska where her impeachment is inevitable. She is now fooling none of the people all of the time.

Does Sarah Palin have any idea what "socialism" means? Has she ever actually defined what she means?

She's absolutely right on the tax details... get ready for the liberal onslaught of attacks.

How long will it be before Obama throws Powell under the Obama BUS

How many Generals endorsed McCain = 10

How many Generals endorsed Obama = 1

Is it any wonder a black General that attended Obama's white hate church would endorse Obama.

Who has the majority of the Congress???

Oh yeah, it is the DEMOCRATS.

Who wrote your "bailout is socialism" bill??? Then voted on it to send it to bush????

Your arguement is weak and pathetic.

Keep yelling it though, you might find someone who can't think for themselves to believe it. Isn't it a liberal motto to repeat something enough times and it defaults to a fact?!?

bottom line

she doesn't even know what socialism is.

the second the word comes out of her motuh she should have a long conversation about what socialism is...

why it is bad.
what are the differences between socialism capitalism and fascism.

where does "socialism"'s values play or overlap in a capitalist democracy?

(because it has to...or it is inherently no longer going to be democratic...duh)

she is an idiot throwing words around in a completely juvenile and moronic manner.

question her media...especially when she throws out words that she does not know the meaning of...

The most distressing thing about this election is the wasteful, over the top campaign spending. I can't imagine how Americans feel good about this.

and slim go look at your numbers

lots o generals actually backed Obama

the ones who didn't get us in the mess we are in.

duh.

the most distressing thing about this election are the false sklandering campaigns of the 527's spending the same millions that fooled us in 2000 and 2004.

it's too bad that Obama ahas to spend so much money just to refute the slander...ugh

same team
same tactics

9th year.

No wonder neocons love her so much. They've finally found a new hero to worship who's as clueless as they are. God help us all if this woman ever gets near the White House. I mean that. We better be hoping for a divine intervention or something. Does anybody still believe she has any idea what she's talking about?

This woman is useless.They are using her and she is sooooooooooooo dumb she can not figure this out for herself..Being DIRTY is all these republicans know.To late you Mc Cain cooked your own goose ...

What's wrong with a little socialism? You people make it sound like its the plauge! You have been brought up thinking it implies Communism and you couldn't be further form the truth! You have been brainwashed into thinking that your living the American dream, working for some company making them rich while you get pennies to their thousands. Come on wake up - time to change the system -

Beside's how does the top 1% hold over 50% of the wealth in this country?

McCain:

“Joe’s the only person to get a real answer out of Senator Obama about his plans for our country. I think you all know very well that Joe didn’t ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. Joe certainly didn’t ask to be famous. He certainly didn’t ask for the political attacks on him from the Obama campaign.

Joe, if you’re watching, I’m sorry you’re being put through this. No American should be attacked for asking questions of a presidential candidate. No one.

We learned more about Senator Obama’s plans from Joe’s question than we’ve learned in months of speeches by Senator Obama. Joe has now reminded us all that we didn’t become the greatest nation on Earth by giving our money to the GOVERNMENT to “spread the wealth around”. In this country, we believe in spreading OPPORTUNITY for those who need jobs and those who create them.”

That is the formula that answers Obama, and McCain never really discovered it until Joe the Plumber made it obvious. The strength in the American economy comes from the private sector, not from welfare programs. While Joe Biden and Obama talk about reconstituting the Works Projects Administration, Joe and the rest of the taxpayers would like to hang onto the wealth they create and spread it around as they see fit, not as some bureaucrats in Washington would like — after taking a healthy share of it for themselves for massive bureaucracy and earmarks.

Government has a role in protecting opportunity, but not in dictating results. The former is wise governance of a free market, and the latter is socialism. Obama’s Socialism presumes that property belongs to the government first, not to those who own it, and that government has the right to transfer property to whomever they select as stewards of it.
