Might be a little tough to understand I guess, probably not all that coherent.
So what is "national health care"
So what is "TAKING MONEY FROM PRIVATE COMPANIES AND REDISTRIBUTING IT ELSEWHERE"

You are saying those are in fact NOT socialist policies?
OK!:thumbsup:
So long as he doesn't come out and say "I am a socialist pinko" then I guess he's not.
Or you could actually critically look at his vision for America and come to your own conclusion. Whatever! One thing he mentions alot, "FAIR, FAIR, FAIR".
Socialism is fair, it makes everyone equal, it sucks for everyone! But hey at least it's fair.
This is why most liberal bed wetters hate America, America IS NOT FAIR. WAAAAA!
Cuba is a pretty fair country where everyone has about the same amount of wealth! No big ol' mean nasty oil companies there! Venezuela is pretty fair! No evil oil companies there huh!?!

I know I know, nothing I said was coherent, and it sounds retarded, but hey as long as you say that to yourself then you can easily dismiss it and keep savoring the flavor of your kool aid!
