Political Grandstanding

Republican Jim DeMint (the last name sounds like DeMented) is on a ramage again, claiming Obama's a great salesperson for "socialism." The bugaboo has to be "socialism" since Ronald Reagan brought about the downfall of communism, or so we have been told by GOP "historians" and flaks in the media.

When you don't have an argument except the fact you are representing the tiny economic and business elite of this country and nobody else, you resort to name calling. Besides, to them government policies benefitting the vast majority of people are considered "socialism," but giving gigantic handouts to their constituents in the rich and business sectors is considered responsible governing.
