They are already acting like socialist, why not admit to the obvious so people will really know what they are voting for?

Elway_the_cat and Silverfish are correct. The Democrats are not Socialist, and any person who knows anything about politics would tell you. Get your definitions correct.
The Democrats are a Right-of Centre "Capitailist-orientated" party. The Republicans are Far-Right Capitalist-orientated party. Many of their views and ideals are similar and they have very little differences except in degrees.
Socialist Parties around the world are like -- the British Labour Party (although lately that has moved to the right considerably). There is also a Socialist Party of Britain. The Australian Labour Party (again this has moved top the right politically but is still "socialist". Australia also has a "Socialist Party" by name as well as policy. New Zealand has a Centre-Left Labour Party which can be called Socialist.

Because the Dems by any intelligent meaningful standard are not socialist.
Democratic politics compares very similarly with most centre right capitalist based parties around the developed world.
Recognition of market failures and the best means for correcting them does not constitute socialism.
Tolerance of diversity does not constitute socialism.
It is astounding how many on the right feel that mindless name calling and competitions to display the most ignorance are constructive or worthwhile contributions.
The chance of a Republican win in the next election are almost non existant. What little chance there is relies on a moderate candidate able to seperate himself from the supply side economics and neo-con social politics of Bush.
Do you really want to look back in just over a year from now and see that when you could have been contributing to the debate and helping to determine your country's future you didn't because you were too busy insulting anyone that might disagree with you?

<< back whilst Thomas Jefferson's day his social gathering replaced into reported as the "Democrat-Republicans" and the different social gathering replaced into the "Whigs" >> LOL! Thomas Jefferson replaced into long lifeless before the Whigs got here visiting you uneducated bafoon. once you are the terrific option a minimum of regarding the republicans coming around as a effect of the Whigs they have been easily a blend of defecting whigs and unfastened soil democrats. Lincoln who replaced into as quickly as a member of the whigs social gathering replaced into the 1st republican president. BTW - there's a socialist social gathering interior the U. S. and that they characterize socialism some thing Obama does not. try getting an practise.

This is an inane, baiting question that has absolutely no basis in fact other than to name call and mock. I'll bet you don't have any particular idea or definition of what socialism really is except to use it as a curse word for anything that you have a knee-jerk opposition reaction.
Show me exactly where the Democrats are going to go "socialist". Puh-leez. BTW, we as a society have public funding of roads, schools, libraries and a bevy of other services that are supported by the vast majority of Americans. I sure as heck don't see the Republicans trying do dismantle this wholesale although Bush is trying his best to privatise a bunch of functions (e.g. Social Security) which is likely to not be in the best interests of the country.

That's like asking why the Republicans haven't admitted the US is now an Authoritarian state.. We have lost many Rights under this Administration, and will likely lose more....I think I would prefer Socialism over Authoritarism...or even Imperialism, because Republicans are demonstrating that Ideology also, any day....

Because they aren't socialists. Do any of you parrots actually think for yourselves? Do you get up every morning and check your list of talking points for the day? So ridiculous. I don't think most of you could identify a real socialist if your lives depended on it.

Sound like a great idea. This way everyone who know what they were getting when they vote for Hilliary, Obama and Edwards. The biggest tax burden of their lives. Come one, come all to America Where We will give you Free health care, free college education, a free house, free US citizenships. And you don't have to worry about it because it will be on the backs of the average American people.

We might in '08. Like anyone knew what that were getting in Bush and Cheney. Ha! A huge deficit, a worn out and depleted Armed Forces (the General's words, not mine) and the entire world hates us. Where we were once revered, we are now laughed at.
