It doesn't matter if he's "on the same level" as Obama, what matters is that he's a socialist.
Socialism is Communism sold by the glass" -- P J O'Rourke
I have talked face to face with the godless communist leaders. It may surprise you to learn that I was host to Mr. Kruschev for a half day when he visited the United States, not that Im proud of it. I opposed his coming then, and I still feel it was a mistake to welcome this atheistic murderer as a state visitor. But, according to President Eisenhower, Kruschev had expressed a desire to learn something of American Agriculture and after seeing Russian agriculture I can understand why. As we talked face to face, he indicated that my grandchildren would live under communism. After assuring him that I expected to do all in my power to assure that his and all other grandchildren will live under freedom he arrogantly declared in substance: You Americans are so gullible. No, you wont accept communism outright, but well keep feeding you small doses of socialism until youll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We wont have to fight you. Well so weaken your economy until youll fall like overripe fruit into our hands. -- Ezra Taft Benson
I'm not voting for any I know to be socialists, period. Your argument is basically: Romney isn't as big of a mass murderer as Obama is, completely missing the point that it's not about the quantity of the lack of character, but the lack of character itself.
Things are all one thing or all the other to some folks. It
doesn’t even matter that a person’s vocation outside of
politics is demonstrative of uber capitalism. No, that just
makes a man a George Soros without an accent. Your
familiarity with Kruschev indicates you are probably older
like myself. And, if you are then you are also acquainted
with the John Birch Society. While I also hate communism
I don’t believe all who are not just like me are participa-
ting in a grand long term conspiracy to foist communism
on the nation. While you fight what you think are commies
coming thru the back door the proclaimed socialists are
sitting in the living room.
