Word Games

It's one week before the election, but is it 2008 or 1950? The dreaded label of Socialist has been hurled at Barack Obama so often in the past month, it's difficult to tell what year it is. Is this Palin-McCarthy - um, sorry - McCain-McCarthy versus Obama-Marx? Maybe it's a good sign that the hugely succesful demonization of liberal has run out of gas, and the Right has to reach further back in time to when their candidate was still a teenager...and Obama's mom was 8 years old.

A new Red Scare is just what this country needs, isn't it? It's not like we have any other problems to worry about at the moment. Plus, Capitalism has kicked ass lately, hasn't it?

Well the time for arguments are well past on this one, still, I get burned up when people equate my left leaning tendancies with socialism before even hearing me out first. Grr! But I KNOW you'll love sinking your teeth into THIS one, anyway =D

L.M.A.O. I thought about revisiting past conversations and dropping this, but then, ah f* it. We won.
