[release]A majority of likely voters think "socialist" is a fair description for President Obama, according to a new poll that looks at how well Obama's critics have been able to tag him with that buzzword and its often negative connotations. The poll by Democracy Corps, the firm of James Carville and Stan Greenberg, estimates that 55 percent of likely voters believe "socialist" is a somewhat accurate description of Obama. Poll respondents were asked about a list of words and how well they related to Obama. When asked about "a socialist," 33 percent of likely voters said it described Obama "very well," 22 percent said "well," 15 percent said "not too well," and 25 percent said "not well at all." A majority of likely voters, 56 percent, also found that Obama is too liberal – 35 percent saying it describes him as "very well," 21 percent saying "well," another 21 percent saying "not too well" and 17 percent saying "not well at all.[/release] [url]http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/09/majority-likely-voters-agree-socialist-accurately-describes-obama/[/url] It was the only non-blog/opinion source I could find.

Wow, those fuckwads need a dictionary.
You say Republicans are all retarded, further reinforcing the stereotype that liberals are naive elitists.

Forget them, give it to Obama. He's tanking faster than Carter.
"OMG Socialism isn't capitalism, so it must be eeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllll!"
[QUOTE=Glaber;23242986]Forget them, give it to Obama. He's tanking faster than Carter.[/QUOTE] Didn't I explain this somewhere?

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;23242979]You say Republicans are all retarded, further reinforcing the stereotype that liberals are naive elitists.[/QUOTE] It's kind of hard to take a party seriously when a majority of your base doesn't know what Socialism is.

Isn't Liberty guaranteed in the constitution? So why are they bitching that hes too "liberal"

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;23242979]You say Republicans are all retarded, further reinforcing the stereotype that liberals are naive elitists.[/QUOTE] no, not really most Republicans are retarded
[QUOTE=Ybbat;23243063]Isn't Liberty guaranteed in the constitution? So why are they bitching that hes too "liberal"[/QUOTE] Because there are two sides to every argument. It's why we have politics. No side is correct, it's opinionated.
[QUOTE=Glaber;23243023]Does it ever work? Last I knew, it was recently failing in Europe.[/QUOTE] No. Some of the mixed economy nations in Europe are extremely successful, take most of Scandinavia.
[QUOTE=JDK721;23243102]no, not really most Republicans are retarded[/QUOTE] Some are misinformed, my friend is constantly being corrected by me, but he has his ideas in the right place.
[QUOTE=Ybbat;23243063]Isn't Liberty guaranteed in the constitution? So why are they bitching that hes too "liberal"[/QUOTE] Liberal and Conservative are both words derived from their synonymous definitions and both now mean pretty much nothing.
The concept of political parties can be spotted as being an absurd one by merely looking at the first ones in the United States: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. One says one thing, the other says the opposite, lulz ensues. Same shit, different day.
[QUOTE=Glaber;23243023]Does it ever work? Last I knew, it was recently failing in Europe.[/QUOTE] ^ Both don't work but capitalism holds out longer
[QUOTE=WebOfTrust;23243179]^ Both don't work but capitalism holds out longer[/QUOTE] Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, at the end of the day they're all just ideologies that mean absolutely nothing, because no country ever lives up to the expectations of them in the end.
Also I don't get the point of this article just because most of the people say he's a socialist doesn't mean it's true, which it's not. I guess if the majority of the population agrees to it all we're doing is expanding the reach in which one is considered a socialist, and broadening terms like that is dangerous as it's a major propaganda tool. It's a way to say someone on the very edge of what can be considered part of a group is lumped together with one who is deep into it.
holy shit OP is a huge idiot
Surprise, Fox's little representative posts another thinly disguised "news" article that serves no other purpose than to rally the Republican base and bitch about how Obama's a socialist, which he isn't. If he was, we would have gotten actual public healthcare.
