In the third presidential debate, McCain referred to Obama as Senator Government, an obvious slip of the tongue, but nevertheless somewhat appropriate as a characterization of his policies and underlying ideology.
Joe, “the Plumber”, Wurzelbacher was referred to and even directly addressed quite frequently during the debate by both candidates. . . .
“Senator Government vs. Joe The Plumber” highlights the choice in front of Americans in this election. It is a choice between an ideology undergirded by Capitalism and an ideology undergirded by Socialism.
. . .
Obama had significant involvement with socialists during his time in the Illinois State Senate. Even if he did not have that history, his policies and economic theory are clearly indicative of a socialist ideology.
We have a choice between an approach to government grounded on liberty, the free market, and less government control and interference and an approach to government that will lead to restraint of liberty, more government control and interference and servitude. More liberty or More servitude.
A vote for Obama is a vote for the road to serfdom - bigger government leading to socialism. A vote for McCain is a vote for the road to preserving those liberties that enable individuals to strive for their American dream. Since these are the only two tickets that can win, a vote for anyone else is a decision not to block the road to serfdom.

Socialism OR Capitalism
