I just hope they start pounding Obama on the socialism.

There's a problem with that. I've found that pointing out that democrats are socialists falls on deaf ears.

THIS IS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE YOU'RE TRYING TO CONVINCE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SOCIALISM IS!!!

I know every lib I've talked to "doesn't support socialism" but fails to make the connection between dhimmirat policy and socialism.
Seriously, I got this once: "Socialism is what they had in the Soviet Union, that's not what the Democrats are proposing."

So, first off, there has to be a side by side comparison, for educational purposes.

Here's a communist goal - here's what Obama supports.
Here's another one - and Obama supports it, too.

Very true. I have taken to using the phrase “European styled Socialism without the free health care” and using the top effective tax rate comparison. It isn’t very smooth sounding, but it makes a distinction.

I then point out Tony Blair called HIMSELF a socialist.

But you are right, it really doesn’t connect with people.
