Romney is getting bashed here for following the McCain line, which is Obama isn't a socialist, but his policies are way left, and harmful to the economy.

Can anyone here find a link in which either McCain or Palin directly called Obama a socialist?

McCain on Larry King ( Youtube ):

Transcript from CNN :

KING: You don't believe Barack Obama is a socialist, do you?

MCCAIN:

No.

But, I do believe -- I do believe that he's been in the far left of American politics. He has stated time after time that he believes in "spreading the wealth around." He's talked about courts that would redistribute the wealth. Watch McCain talk about Obama's policies »

He has a record of voting against tax cuts and for tax increases. And I don't think there's any doubt that he would increase spending and he would, sooner or later, we would be increasing taxes. There is no doubt in my mind that that's what his record -- 94 times he voted to cut taxes -- against tax cuts and for tax increases. He voted for -- and that's what matters. Not rhetoric. To raise taxes on individuals making $42,000 a year.

“Barack Obama calls it spreading the wealth, Joe Biden calls higher taxes patriotic, but Joe the plumber and Ed the Dairy Man, I believe that they think that it sounds more like socialism,” Palin said. “Friends, now is no time to experiment with socialism.”

PLEASE SEE # 116 AND # 122 TOO.

I am not sure how naive some of these freepers are, but they seem pretty naive right now. Can't say I am surprised about the double standard and special attacks reserved only for Romney though.

It's really sad. He's busting his butt flying around the country for the McCain/Palin ticket ( missing the birth of his new grandchild and we all know Ann is not at 100% health) and, yet, at each and every opportunity (no matter how false) a large contingent on this website, that professes to hold to higher standards, sinks pretty darn low.

Very noble going down with the ship and all. The last of the Romneybots still swinging. Almost honorable if not misplaced.

Mitt Romney, the willing solider with a dagger ready as soon as you look away...
