Newt: Obama’s a socialist.
Bachmann: Newt’s a socialist.
Romney: They’re just in over their head.
Huntsman: China is capitalist.
Paul: Iran’s a democracy.

Cain: 9-9-9!

“Gingrich recently gave an interview to NPR’s weekend version of the show All Things Considered . Here he takes a position that the Obama administration has created a “secular-socialist machine” that will destroy the country if the Republicans don’t stop it.”

Can you imagine how weak he will be in that debate?

Mitt has no fire in his belly for this country - he’s a POS!
And I’m glad he’s exposing his wuss liberal self to the nation as he expects it to be handed to him like everything else in his life. He is NOT one of us but a silver spoon fed liberal.

Newt just appeared on O’Reilly and answered every question directly and turned it completely around. No way can Romney do this. Newt will be able to attract enthusiastic support, while Mitt would get—at best—lukewarm support and no enthusiasm.

Mitt keeeps making it harder, not easier, for us to support him. Sigh.

What’s next, a McCain-style declaration that “the country won’t be in danger if we re-elect Obama”?

Why because mitt refuses to answer a very legitimate question yet he wants to rule our country? I’d ask mitt the same and a lot more - am I a dope?

What is mitt going to challenge Barry on?

A serious presidential candidate would probably want to sidestep questions like that.

But for a lot of people now, calling Obama a socialist is what it's all about, not winning the election.

Is Obama a socialist? Not in the classic sense of demanding public or state ownership of the means of production, but as classic socialism has withered, people come to see it in places where they wouldn't have during socialism's heyday.

Probably more Democrats are going to have connections that could be seen as "red" even as fewer people advocate what socialism actually meant for generations.

He only just begun with big giant steps - surely, you are aware of that. In dec of '12 - you will eat those weasel words.

If I were a famous American with an 80% approval rating by the public and knew the presidency was mine just for the taking.

I would refuse it.

Being elected after Obama is very much like being made Captain of the Titanic half an hour after it struck the iceberg, or maybe General Paulus being made Field Marshal after he was surrounded by huge numbers of well provisioned Russians in Stalingrad with no hope of being resupplied or evacuated.

Maybe a better example would be being made King of the Persians just before the battle of Arbela.

Romney: Uh, you know, I consider him a big-government liberal Democrat.

Mittens your a big government liberal Republican who wouldn't recognize a Socialist until he stole all your money. FUMR

Romeny = Romney (even though he doesn't rate having his surname spelled correctly.)

Mitt is simply a younger version of McCain. The GOP elites are more interested in being listened to than the future of this country. Gingrich doesn't listen to them and it annoys them greatly. Coulter, Barnes, Crystal, Will, et. al. are lazy. It's easier to find fault with an administration than to support one. It's also much more profitable.

Perhaps is that the Church of LDS has a lot in common with the church of Black Liberation Theology?

Socialism is the gateway to Communism. Socialism is Communism lite, which eventually transforms to Communism.

Obama is a marxist - Mitt is a socialist. If Mitt get the nomination, God save us...

FMR, I saw him on O’Reilly and addressed it earlier today here on FR but I will do it again. He’s a sissy a$$ and the last thing we want is him debating the Marxist Kenyan Barry Hussein Soetoro. Newt had the guts to call him an Alinsky radical at the last debate, I think Newt was being kind, but Romney, off the charts on the sissy meter. There would be no debate between Romney and Barry, the Marxist usurper would crush him and Mittens the dog abuser would just smile and take it. NO NO and NO!

I don’t want a repeat of 2008. McPain was Barry’s biggest campaigner. He handed that election to the usurper on a silver platter. I detested McCain then, but I detest him 100 times more now. It was at this moment(see video link below) that I realized once and for all, he had no intention or desire to win that election and was actually helping Hussein. Then he held Sarah back and wouldn’t let her get down and dirty on Barry the Kenyan Marxist, and it was over then.

McCain telling people they don’t have to be afraid of him and how decent he is. FUJM and FUMR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
