McCain compares Obama to European socialists

Gag me. If I'm not mistaken, Senator McCain cast a "yes" vote in the recent decision to essentially nationalize our banking system. To be fair, so did Senator Obama. And unless I'm drastically wrong, nationalized banks are a hallmark of any state socialist system.

And ya gota love John-Boy excoriating Obama over his "tax the wealthy, give to the poor" plans. As opposed to McCain's tax the poor and give to the wealthy. Either way you cut the cookie, it's redistribution of wealth, another hallmark of a socialist system.

So it seems to me we already know what they both are - we're just haggling over the price we've gonna have to pay.

Reuters - Republican presidential candidate John McCain compared Barack Obama to socialist leaders in Europe on Saturday, saying his rival wants to raise taxes on the wealthy to give money to the poor.

The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM.
