COLUMBUS, Ohio — A U.S. House hopeful says a former top Romanian spy who defected to the United States in the1970s has endorsed him in a closely watched northeast Ohio race.

The campaign of Paul Schiffer said Monday that Ion Pacepa (YON' puh-CHEP'-uh) is backing the Republican in this year's election because he believes Democrats are turning America into a socialist dictatorship like the one he escaped.

Others from despot countries SEE IT and that is why they FLED their country. If only we had more immigrants that are intelligent like this.

“Former U.S. Rep. Jim Traficant, recently released from prison, is also considering a run.”

You are not alone in your observations/perspective. Check out this article.

Boccieri is a run of the mill freshman 'rat thug who sucked his way in on Obama's jockstrap. He has no redeeming virtues and needs to be eliminated. He has made no name for himself in the last year and is probably beatable. Supporting Schiffer might just help steal a seat under the radar.

so from personal experience what freedoms did the socialists in Canada restrict?

Failure to pay your monthly HC premiums as an example. You know it’s MANDATORY in canafa to pay your health care, did you? You cannot just say to the provl govt ‘I DONT want to pay my monthly”. If it’s proven (say, employed and paid your taxes from a year ago) that you have the ability to pay YET you do not...the govt dings your credit rating, THEN sends your case to collections..also from the govt. So the govt is your mommy, daddy and ass-kicker.

here’s another story...

My GF who’s a GC holder was still employed at Vanccouver General. One time, while taking a smoke break waiting for her shift to end, a homeless guy staggers unto the entrance.

The guard kept asking him ‘WHERE IS YOUR MEDICAL CARD?” You see, in the provinces, the govt want your money so bad they dont want/frown on treating you without the mandatory medical card AS DICTATED by the govt.

So being a “liberal” country, who do you think is more humane, Canada or America?
