We as a culture really have to stop using words like 'socialist,' 'communist,' 'fascist,' etc. so cavalierly. Because of overuse and misuse, the meanings of these concepts are being diluted.

Sullivan is making some pretty good points - but he's also lying. The only reason Sullivan turned on Bush was because of gay marriage.

This analysis is not so wrong... I'm thinking to President Hoover, which was Republican, but also an extreme interventionist in economy. For this reason, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, with a free market platform..., won the 1932 presidential election in a landslide. We all know what he did later. I hope that this story isn't going to happen again.

The Republican party in general has abandoned any pretense of being the party of small gov't anymore. .....with few exceptions. They figure the overwhelming majority of Americans want big "compassionate" gov't and they're aimin' to please.

Bush is spending like a socialist, and his successor will be a socialist. Our country is going downhill fast.

I often see John Kerry referred to as a 'socialist' or a 'communist' on these boards, but does anyone seriously think that a Kerry administration would have spent more than this one has.
Sullivan is right. If you want to categorise Kerry as a socialist, then Bush sure looks like one too.

I got news for you all...Bush doesn't spend ANYTHING! Read your Constitution, CONGRESS is the legislative body. Bush is commander-in-chief, and runs our foreign policy...is there anyone here who doesn't doubt his conservative qualifications there? That's all that matters...

Americans love big government. For example, the only reason people didn't like Hillary's health care plan is because they were convinced that their health care would be worse under Hillary's plan - not because such a redistributionist scheme is fundamentally immoral.

In my opinion, the words "socialist" and "communist" are generally used in a manner fairly consistent with their true meanings, since they are usually directed at Democrats, the policies of whom are usually actually based on socialist concepts or at least concepts derived from socialism. President Bush may not be a true socialist, but his thinking does come from the same mindset that socialists have in that he believes government should play a significant role in the ordering and arranging of society.
I agree with you on the word "fascist" though, not many of us use that according to its true meaning.

I don't even think Kerry is a Socialist, though he clearly leans in that direction.

Reminds me of a convo I had with my ultra-rightwing uncle. This guy makes me look like Mike Moore. He left the USSR in the 70s and is as anti-commie as they come.
He was telling me how W is a communist because of the ridiculous spending. I told him Kerry was the commie. And he just says, "No, Kerry was the idiot. He couldn't cover-up that he was a commie so he lost."
