It is now to a point where the Democrats don't shrink from the socialist label.
Republicans fear to use the socialist label because the Democrat Socialists will respond, "What do you think Medicare is?" "What do you think Bush's prescription medicine bill was?"

I would love to see the question about the ‘fall’ of Communism in 1991 asked of GHW Bush & BJ Clinton or anyone in their administrations. ‘Comrade J’ is a great book about KGB spying and their useful tools in NA:
‘From 1995 until 2000, a man known as “Comrade J” directed all Russian spy action in New York and oversaw all covert operations against the U.S. and its allies.....Sergei Tretyakov, Comrade J says, “In speaking out, I hope to expose how naive this is (thinking the USSR had changed). During the Cold War, in the Soviet military doctrine there was the definition of the MAIN ENEMY, which was also used by intelligence as a basic guiding principle. It was the United States, followed by NATO and China. What is the official guiding line for the modern SVR today? The terms have changed. It is now called the MAIN TARGET. But it is exactly the same: the United States, followed by NATO and China. Nothing has changed. Russia is doing everything it can today to embarrass the U.S. Let me repeat this. Russia is doing everything it can today to undermine and embarrass the U.S. The SVR rezidenturas in the U.S. are not less, but in some aspects EVEN MORE ACTIVE
today than during the Cold War. What should that tell you
continues to spy and undermine the U.S.”
