Is that all you learned? Your knowledge of a government class from high school is less than impressive and it shows.

Obama ran on a platfrom that few voters actually read. That's the case most of the time with any political party but Obama's was viewed as based on "hope" and "change" which aren't policy positions except to you maybe. I'd go into how democracies historically were viewed with suspicion as they can degenerate under a demagogue but I know I know I've already lost you. The point is elections give a mandate up to a point. Mere elections don't guarantee against a tranny of the majority. In Chavez's case, there seems to be few safeguards against him doing as he pleases. Obama has to contend with an independent court system, a strong middle class invested in property rights and general respect for the rule of law and the Constitution among the major political parties despite some differences on the issues.

Another stretch! Give this man a cigar!!! You are one classic SOB ALC!

All the tired cliches that you and conservatives of your ilk like to use, calling the Obama administration socialists and communists are simply laughable. The article displays what a real socialist takeover is, that is for those of you (read YOU ALC) who are clearly not intelligent enough to comprehend what socialism really is.

I try not to be subtle with you but if you really believe I called the Obama administration socialist and communist you're a bigger fool even I imagined. I went though the reasons why Obama couldn't reach Chavez's level of government control but none of it registered. You've got a lot of imagination that's for sure.

Ok, you win. The majority of Obama voters read the Democrats' platform as surely as most congressmen they read the entire healthcare bill. Kind of funny you didn't read the next sentence either.

What is it with liberals being unable to read simple declarative statements? I mean there was nothing tricky about what I wrote and it wasn't that long yet. . . I give up. You guys should go on the road as Siamese twins connected at the same reed thin brain stem.

You really don't get it do you Corky? You missed the subtlety as well as the obvious. Get over yourself, the thread wasn't directed at you. It was directed at all the neophytes who love to call obama a socialist or commie, you know who you are. Don't delude yourself into thinking that I'd make a thread for you. But whatever makes you feel better about yourself, go for it.
