What attracts people to candidates who believe that "GOVERNMENT IS BEST which governs MOST?"
On the other hand, there is RON PAUL, a man whose thinking is guided by the Principles of the Founding Fathers.

Someone who posted above that Hillary isn't socialist, because she is for government serving the people, you are wrong. *Giving your girlfriend $100 to buy you a $50 gift is serving you? Its serving her. Its creating a nonsense task for her to perform for a large chunk of cash. It is a illogical roundabout method of getting something done. And for all you know, she might just spend that $50 on something SHE wants, that you will not have a use for.
The fact is her wealth redistribution (with a %50 markup for government overhead) IS socialist. There is no denying that.
Hillary, Giuliani, and the rest of democrats and neocons have it all wrong. Americans don't want a bigger government. The only thing that results from socialized health care IS bigger more complex government. Nearly every program democrats stand for (and neocons) simply expands, spends, and absorbs more funds.
Forget Hillary, forget Giuliani. We need to elect Ron Paul who will make sure Social Security is there for our veterans, make sure out soldiers coming home form Iraq in the months following his inauguration have proper treatment, and make sure our borders are secured. That is governments role.

10 Trillion debt under Bush. Dollar down the tube. 2 senseless wars. The Dow, corrected for inflation, 20% lower then in 2000. Record trade deficit. 28 Million unemployed fallen out of the system, with cities like Detroit or Cleveland at 40%+ unemployement, Health care crisis, Infrastrructurees crumbling, no money for national emergencies, personal bankruptcies up 600% (list is endless). Good luck with Ronny.

As much as I hate to say, Americans are a pretty dumb lot as a whole. They wouldn't know freedom if it jumped up and smacked them in the face. They're more worried about who won the game, Lindsay Lohan's latest rehab stint, who'll win American Idol, etc.
Most wouldn't even know the difference if the power in Congress shifted. Supposedly it did but can you tell?

Because the US has a reputation as one of the world's richest countries there are many who feel entitled to whatever politicians promise them--even if if means spending deeper into debt ... borrowing from the Chinese.

You have it a bit backwards. The Clinton platform has nothing in common with either socialism or collectivism. Her platform is actually geared towards the government serving the people, as opposed to the government taking from the people to give to the government and its' corporate supporters. She is anti-communist, which is really the form of government we are plagued with.

Yep. You pretty much have Hillary and her cohorts pegged.
IDK what attracts socialists to the massive government. Maybe its that socies are frightened of _everything_ and want a nanny government to protect them from themselves.
It must be awful to be afraid of your own shadow.
