    I have no idea what you are trying to say here. Can you ask a more specific question?

    I believe the FM, FM, AIG, and Bailout = collective ownership = socialism.

    Something BOTH candidates supported!!!!!!

    Not quite.

    There is still a free market economy and private ownership of property and capital. Government investment in banks is not the same as government ownership of banks. They intend to buy non-voting shares.

    As a temporary measure to prevent a bank collapse it is not really socialism, but if it becomes institutionalized . . .

    :lol:

    Socialists don't PROPOSE anything, Red. Socialism/communism and authoritarianism go hand-in-hand. Because democracies don't choose socialism - they either are overthrown and forced into it, or they think they're getting one thing and wake up in November to find they've been duped by the smooth, silky voice of "The One" and his willingly complicit propaganda machine...

    I sure hope you're right about this guy - but I have yet to read anything, including his carefully crafted book, to convince me that he's anything but a socialist wearing a Liberal colored tie.

    You should become a Hollywood script writer with such a keen sense for fantasy. I bet you love the movie "Red Dawn". :grin:

    Anyone who doesn't like "Red Dawn" is some kind of wuss.

    Quit letting Putin mix your drinks. Logistical impossibilities do not hamper Mother Russia.
