Hmmm. Well, if guilt by association is fair play again, then I prefer the associations of John McCain who share a free market ideology rather than the cheaters, racists, terrorists, liars, Socialists, Communists, frauds and all around anti-capitalists that seem to orbit Senator Obama.Originally Posted by MTL_4runner
But since guilt by association is only a strawman argument designed to make nebulous the real issue, I generally try to avoid pinning that tail on the Donkey. The really interesting question is whether Senator Obama is a Socialist or a Capitalist. If he is a Socialist, then his policies will destroy our society and economy one individual at a time. If he promotes a fusion of the two with 'the right people in power' to emulsify the mutually exclusive ideologies, then his failure will not be apparent for years, but is sure to surface as this latest economic correction has displayed the parasitic nature of socially engineering the lending sector of the economy. If he is a Capitalist, then he needs to research what that means and abandon the Robin Hood hero syndrome before he implodes more than just the banking sector of our free market.
I think he is a Socialist. His actions and words declare it with pride and ignorant hubris. He has been misguided by his mentors and associates. He has poisoned his mind with ideologies which remove from the individual his self suffiency and self worth. I cannot vote for a man like that. Even if John McCain blew a booger on his shirt and unwittingly paraded it for all to admire during the debates, I could still not vote for a Socialist (Obama).
