I wonder how many people that are decrying the specter of socialism are collecting Social Security checks, or look forward to the day when they might.
What the world is experiencing right now is the result of capitalism run amok. As long as unfettered greed fuels hyper-speculation these things will happen. They have hapened many times before and will continue to happen. Karl Marx predicted this. We must clamp down on corporate and individual greed to eliminate the cause of these cycles. Greedy speculation must be taxed, and taxed heavily. Short term capital gains should be taxed 90 per cent. If we push the money into safe long term investments, these cycles will go away or be significantly reduced in severity. Greed is America's deadly sin, not socialism.
It has nothing to do with liberty or freedom. It is pure economics. The greatest threat to our liberty is that we don't produce anything but profit. That's what people should really fear.

RIP REPUPLICANS

Socialism only works if the citizens can handle it. France has free healthcare and higher education, and rich people too! The government is more stable that Venezuela's because French citizens aren't afraid to protest and strike until they get what they want. BTW, how many rich Americans ADORE French products!

How on earth is Michele Bachmann a member of congress! I can't believe she got re-elected. Everytime I hear her talk, I just want to crawl into a hole. To me she is just a pretty face and doesn't have anything to contribute politically. And don't ask her a diffuclt question if you don't want her to spin you sick and then not even get a solid answer out of it. And to get to the point of the story, if we don't provide some bailouts and just let everything happen on its own, we are for sure doomed. The more companies that go bust the higher the unemployment rate goes. I don't like all the bailouts anymore than the next person, but really, do we have another option. What they need to do is put a ball and chain on the companies that get the taxpayers money and make sure it is being used for reasons intended.

Oh I love it, it keeps getting funnier.

I just feel sorry for the non-morons (the one who did not vote for her) who have to have her make decisions for them.

Seriously though, has there been any discussion on running a phycological test on some of these repubs?

Peace

That’s right!! Repub's follow your leader Rush the clown all the way to hell....

Socialism... What Obama is doing sounds more to me like protectionism.... From Repubs who have allowed their corporate thugs and lobbyist to suck America dry for the last 8 yrs.

If you not like capitalism, than you must be unwilling to work and make a better life for yourself. Capitalism is what has made this a great nation. Do you enjoy watching what is going on in Venezuela? Is that the kind of country you want to live in? All you liberal wack jobs just don't get it. Yeah, the republicans have really stunk it up for a while now too, but less than 2 years ago we were a booming economy. If you were serious about making this country even better, we would embrace more Libertarian values.

Comrades? hmmm...now you think socialism and communisim are the same thing?
Yikes ....NO WONDER BUSH WON TWICE you must have voted for him ..

Ok, maybe the illuminati are behind Obama, or maybe he is the antichrist, or maybe he does have a piece of the spear of destiny……

Or, maybe so many sheeple were just wanting to make history, or vote for him from misplaced guilt, or just voted for him because of the color of his skin.

Whatever the case, it is obvious to people that think for themselves that he is on his way to ruining this country, sending it the same way the Roman Empire went.

If we as a country want to survive as anything other than a 3rd world country, we need to elect people in 2010 that will block at least the most dangerous of his actions.

America is full of dumb idiots that will let someone push them around as long as they get a free handout. Our rights have been slowly taken away long before there was Bush or Obama. WE WERE WARNED, WE JUST DID NOT LISTEN OR TAKE ACTION!!!!!!! U.S.(Unintelligent Society)

Well, let's see. Up until jan. 20 we have been living in a FASCIST republic! If you want to talk government structures let's at least acknowledge reality. A few more government controls over greed and corruption. Ummmh. That's new! Socialism – the sky is falling and pigs can fly.....I'm really scared now!!!

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, "promote the general Welfare", and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Which part of this isn't on obamessiah's list to destroy? So far, he's nicked at all of them...soon to come taking away our right to bear arms.

It's too bad that none of these lackwits can define "socialism." It's too bad that none of them did ANYTHING to prevent this mess. It's too bad that they are recommending the same one-size-fits-all-problems solutions that they have been promoting – but not doing – since 1964.

How many times will Americans fall for the same old Conservative mealy-mouthed claptrap that got us into the fix we are now in?

America First, You did not vote for Obama. Get real!!!

Michele Bachman need lesson in: Socialism/Communisn/Marxism. She is just repeating what other uneducated republicants say. What are your ideas?

on behalf of my fellow Minnesotans, I apologize for letting her win the election.
She showed nothing but ineptitude and bigotry during her campaign, and were those opposed to her to unite behind either DFLer Ttinklenberg or Independent Bob Anderson, we would not be dealing with this bull right now.

We need to start giving I.Q. tests to people aspiring to run for national office.

Cathy--– In 1900 the U.S. deficit was 2 billion dollars, today its 11- 12 trillion. What makes you think government has any business handling any money? The president, the Congress, the Senate, should have to prove they can operate within a budget before we let them handle our tax dollars. This president, Congress, Senate will be the poster men and women for not only term limits,[which the president already has] but for shorter term limits which should be a maximum of 2 terms of 2 years for every branch of government.

First off, the Repub talking isn't exactly known as the brightest bulb and secondly, if socialism is what it takes to get us out of this Bush left mess, then I'm all for it.

Palin/Bachman 2012 - Dems dream Repub ticket

The REPUBLICANS and unbridled CAPITALISM got us INTO this mess.

Socialism is for people who want to be taken care of. Going to socialism there would be no reason to work hard to get ahead, so who would work? Your dog would get better health care than you. Who would want to be a doctor? Why work hard to make good money only to give it to someone who doesn't want to work?

Ha Ha, Bachman is a moron. I would like for her to define "Socialism", compare and contrast it to "Capitalism", then use them both in a sentence.

That'll shut her up.

No Pat,

They want to take a slightly larger sliver of the wealth from people who DON'T WORK and give it to you, a person who DOES WORK.

GOP – Gullible Obfuscation Party

I agree, this country does seem to work best, when there is a balance of Capitalism and Socialism, but it is definitely leaning toward Socialism, where even in the very near future, we are going to have a one world Political system, and a one world Government, "So what I say unto you, I say unto all " Watch".

Adam, you are on the money. People quickly forget one of our greatest presidents ever had a very Socialist agenda. FDR's was the reason we got out of the Great Depression (yes Matt in MN, along with WW2). The jobs that were created are the reason we have the roadways we have today, among other things. Republicans need to get their heads out of you know where and wake up.

I cant wait for Kay to send Bachman packing in 2010!!! You know she'll be back...she hasn't forgotten that "There's no God" commercial...lol

Dear Michelle Bachman, thank you so much for you to bring the issue that Capitalism country, America become high level of socialism in the history of our country by OBAMA and DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
GO SARAH/RUSH 2012

socialism is far fetched and well over used term by the far right ...
this woman is an IDIOT!

This schizophrenic really needs some meds....RUSH can you help her out please ?

As a white male I would rather have Socialism than have a country run by Bachmann and the Racist Republican Party.

As a white male I would rather have Socialism than have a country run by Bachmann and the Racist Republican Party.

Oh yeah I can bet you 1 million $ that this stupid lady in the congress does not know the definition of socialism.
When I see the Poor republican making under 30000 year complain about socialism it just makes me laugh very loud.
Only rich people complain about socialism because they have to give up more money to the government and because they are so greedy and fool of self ego they hate to do so.
SOCIALISM BE IT if that's the only solution.

I don't think the Republicans warning of socialism know the definition of the word. From Merriam-Webster:

1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

I don't see anyone advocating for the above unless you do some creative word changing and distorting of the truth.

I don't think republicans even know the definition of socialism, or capitalism for that matter. When as the U.S. every been a strictly capitalist economy? Never, that's when.

Is there some shortage of dictionaries in the rural communities of our country that I don't know about?

Once again, another brain-dead Republican is running off at the mouth. It seems that there has been a pattern to this lately! Here's an idea – instead of shooting your mouths off and obstructing at every turn, maybe you twits can come up with some actual solutions. Oh, wait, your so-called solutions got us into this mess in the first place.

When is this ignorant woman going to shut up and sit down?

Isn't this Michelle Bachmann the same Michelle Bachmann who proposed they have congressional trials to determine whether or not elected officials were "patriotic"?

This idiot is a modern day McCarthy, and he was eventually ignored after causing a ton of trouble. Maybe we'll learn faster this time.

so I wouldn't worry, if the Bush years didn't set off any warnings, then nothing will

what a nightmare Bush was

Isn't Bachmann the woman who suggested investigating American's patriotism? Why would anyone listen to her? Look in her eyes, and you will see the emptiness inside.

@Kevin in Ohio:

Stop drinking the koolaide...Geez , what do you think Social Security is???

What we are now discovering with the Bush administration under Yoo, Rove and Gitmo, Bush dictated and did whatever he wanted. For the Repubs only problem is the Rich will now have to pay taxes something they got away with under the last administration. To have this country continue with the same failed policies of the last administration President Obama with his economist advisor is trying to bring things around. It is not his fault that the Big 3 auto makers and their UAW union reps reaped from profits and payed themselves billions of $ IN BONUSES. The de-regulation on Wall Street has proved to also be a disaster. So the Repubs are saying "if it's not broke don't fix it" guess what people we are broke.

yay yay yay ,, i want all the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ i can get,,, i work one day a month... have no insurance,,, drink and smoke more days than i work,,, thank you obama ,,, btw i am a white old fat girl,, with 5 kids,, 2 aint mine,,, one one the way,,, i want more $$$$$$$$$$

MILF of the year

GOP morally bankrupt – are you kidding???? half of Obamations's appointments didn't pay taxes, why, cause they believe they don't have to...only the peasants should pay taxes. Now lets move on to the Clintonistas...sex, lies and fraud, then there is Barney Frank.....young
male prostitutes (ring a bell) the list of morally challenged (PC word) from the Democratic party is endless...For 6 years you have been bashing George Bush and now when your guy is in there you are mad because we are bashing him......Answer to your question....definition of socialism (Same as communinism, by the way) except there is no party membership. "Each according to his ability, each according to his need:" – Karl Marx. so work hard all you want, but the democrat next door who sits home all day is going to get just what you get....enjoy. It has been proven over and over that it fails because it kills ambition.

Jeez, these whack job repugs led by the wackiest of them all Bachmann don't recognize obstructionism and Hooverism when they do.
As such they are hypocrites for crying "socialism" when they only have the creds to cry "fascism" or "defeatism"...

They are right this is exactly where this country is headed and don't tell me I don't know what the word means because I know exactly what it means. Look at the stock market and your 401K plans; the market has dropped 23% since Obama came into power that he wants to expand with big goverment. Your 401 is dropping like arock. Think about it.

Just move along, no interesting debate here, just the regular hate filled diatribes by the leftie wing nuts, eg. read obama-mama comments. Tells you everything about them. Unbridled stupidity.

We've been headed there for a long time (public schools, medicare, social securty)...but socialism isn't the correct term for what we will have.

Americans are completely ignorant of what is going on. In our society Money is the must crucial element to survival, but 99.9% of us have no idea how the monetary system functions. It is not taught in our schools or discussed in the news. Fractional Reserve Banking ...WAT (Ponzi Scheme)!?!? I'm sure you know who Madoff is...

Ok, never mind that the bailout exceeds the costs of all US wars combined (including the Louisiana Purchase, New Deal, Marshall Plan, Nasa, the American Revolution and the war of 1812). Nevermind the fact that each individual American will have to pay $38,013 for the bailout.

...The government expects us to tighten down while they expand. They have succeeded in their ultimate goal, they didn't have to force it on us, we beg and encourage it.

we can give billions of dollars to countries all over the world, why is it a crime to give ourselves billions of dollars to help out our fellow americans it's our money... What's wrong with love thy neighbor as you love thy self??????? So what they made a mistake with bad decisions, it's not socialism when we give Israel five billion a year or more or now the Palistineian people will get 900 million or all the other money we shell out to the needy... I wish he would just give the needy citizens one million dollars each, the poverish one's of course. Now , we wouldn't be out of that much money, lets say about 150 million, now that's pork spending I could agree with!!!!!!! That woul stimulate the economy immediately, so just DO IT!!!!!!!

I am so tired of this inflammatory rhetoric. If Ms. Bachmann is so concerned about where this country is heading under Obama, why isn't she offering solutions????? What real, practical good is this elected official doing for her constituency by these kinds of public statements? How many solutions has she offered for the deep and diverse divide in this country? When I hear this kind of McCarthy-esque rhetoric, it only strengthens my commitment to Obama. She can't even offer real criticism – just the usual hate-mongering. I end up perceiving her as yet another vacuous toady of a system that cared more for ideology than people. And anyone who would be influenced by this kind of empty mud-slinging is clearly unwilling to think for themselves. Lemmings, the lot of you...

This is just more of the same old lies and slander from the Republicans. I see Rep Bachman has been reading up on the Limbaugh playbook.

What would they have our president do? Sit back and do nothing like Mr Bush did? Boy that sure worked well didn't it?

Where would America be today if this Socialism argument had won back in the days of the new Deal?

Rep Bachman is a real piece of work with her perma-grin. What has she got to be so happy about? I don't trust a person who is always smiling; it kind of feels like she is showing her teeth all the time because she wants to eat us. What would she look like if she got angry? I can answer that. I've seen her get ticked off in debates with Democrats on CNN. You know what she does when she gets mad? She smiles even bigger!

I've noticed that the conservative ladies are good looking and the democrat ladies look like, well, Hillary Clinton.

Michelle Bachman, you are a disgrace to the fine state of Minnesota. Please try to refrain from opening your mouth in the future. It is far to risky for the good people of Minnesota.

I would like to warn America about the danger of FASCISM under the likes of Michele Bachmann, Mike Pence, Eric Cantor, John Boejner, Mitch McConnell, John Kyl, Jim DeMint, John Cornyn, and all the rest of those bellyaching far, far right neoconservative, for-the-wealthy-only Republicans! Their cry of socialism is incorrect and a deliberate distortion as part of their ongoing strategy of using fear. As the only ones they are really representing are the wealthy and big business, they don't deserve to be on the public payroll!

Where is Al Franken?

Michele – We are certainly mired in something. Scary woman...

@ Adam "We've been "socialist" for a while. FDR endured the same insults Obama has when he proposed the New Deal.

And history repeats itself."

So what your saying is that we need a War on the scale of WW2 to get out of this? 'Cause the New Deal did **** to get us out of the economic crisis, and had WW2 who knows how long it would have taken to get out of it.

"American First" your comment is so stupid its people like you the voted for our last boy genius president and now you want to act like Obama can do more harm... we are Americans as well and we say we like the direction the President is trying to push this country into.. now if we could just send the whole GOP party to Cuba we would be happier.

Love
"Real American"

This country works best when we have a balance of capitalism and socialism. The scales have been heavily tilted toward capitalism for some time. Now we are seeing the scale tilt in the other direction and the Republicans are screaming about it. Why does it have to be one extreme or the other? What is wrong with a centrist government where we combine the best ideas of both isms?

Bachmann should not be serving in Congress if she is going to bash our European allies at a time when we need to restore our international relations. This latest Republican fear-mongering sadly represents their continued nonsense!

First, Michelle Bachmann insults our eithnic communities by using ridiculous street slang towards the RNC Chairman, and now she insults our intelligence with her hypocritical "socialist" rhetoric. Doesn't she have the best healthcare extended to Congress members at OUR expense? Why shouldn't the American people be offered the same plan?

muzzle for Bachman anyone??

We tried it your vway and look where it got us, on the brink of a depression.
It's time to give the other side the chance to screw up, you already did.
You alway promise fiscal conservatism, but you pratice fiscsal irresponsibility.

Brainless Bimbo and Fat Boy Limbo can form an entertainer team.
Jokers.

Same old rhetoric from the GOP. Terrible direction the US is headed (although it is currently a path that was started many years previously), the current administration is spending the next generation's future, blah blah blah. No alternatives put forth (as usual).

This is getting really boring. Maybe let Obama's plan pan out a little while. He has at least 4 (and the way it's going for the GOP – years to work his platform of "change". No wonder the Republicans don't like it, they are so uncomfortable with doing things differently, they will all be out of jobs after 2010. Change to believe in!

Siel Heil Commandant Obama buying up private businesses like Clinton buying lap dances at a strip club. The only problem is that Obama's mind numb sheeple are to stupid to realize that they're losing more rights everyday. Let the producers of the country pay for the non-producers of the country and pretty soon you have no producers at all. Continue to over tax employers and see how many jobs are lost during the 2nd term of Jimmy Carter Jr. Stock Market is dropping like a lead balloon, gas is on the rise again, and Comandant Obama and friends want to tax the people who hire. Where will the madness end?

THANK GOD!!!! name calling, now we're getting somewhere

Okay mine turn now. Michele Bachmann is a Fascist.
See this is fun and productive.

Obama is the biggest fraud in history. hahahaha!!!!!!

Marc....How's Capitalism working for us now?

Republican definition of socialism: Rich people need more money so they can take more trips. The other 95% of the country needs to pull their pants down bend over and breath deeply!

Republican definition of universal healthcare: Everybody has access to Advil. If you need anything stronger than that tough luck!

Bachmann's definition of a good idea: ____________ (Sorry! We thought we could revive her brain!)

This BIMBO. Shut up Bachmann. Mentally ill.

Gee, my original comment was waiting for review and then just disappeared. Unlike the right wingnuts, I didn't call anyone a bad name or lie. Just what does it take to be posted? Pure idiocy?

We need to do what the NObel Prize economists told us to do in order to revive the economy. If it be pork, let's eat PIGS!!!. If it be drinking OIL tanks, so let it be!!!

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, "promote the general Welfare", and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

This is the Preamble to the Constitution. It is the mission statement for the government. Nowhere does it promise anyone the right to make more money than your neighbor or the right to a better lifestyle then people down the road. The government is supposed to look after all the people, and that is what President Obama is trying to do. All this BS about socialism is just sour grapes because Democrats won the election, and it is getting really old.

Michele and Zach will get big kadoos from all the 15 million ditto heads tomorrow. Rush will praise their little Rushpublican hearts. Ain't ya glad you voted for them! They speak RUSH for you and now the (R) after their name will mean RUSH to everyone. How wonderful!

Socialism... blah blah blah...socailism....blah blah blah....... socailism.......blah blah blah.............Is that all you got?...............CHILDREN!

Republicans are just quoting Rush and Faux News: using their new "scary" word to frighten people.

We have already wandered into "socialism" – its called social security, government health care programs for Congress, Medicare: Even fire & police use to be private but are now run by towns & villages.

What does the GOP call the Bush Bailout (he could have vetoed it) in December?

Used to be "terrorists" – now the in word is "socialist" which most Republicans can not define or explain: Just quote Rush – he'll tell them what to say!

"completely socializing the American economy" ... Lady, you're so ignorant you probably don't even know what supply and demand are much less socialism.

when the money was going to the rich it wasn't socialism.. but now tha the money looks like it will be helping the middle and low income.. its socialism...

under Bush your emails were read and your phone calls were listened too... no problem with that right??

Republicans,

What are your ideas and suggestions? Please put them out there; people are asking you to outline the specifics of your plan, and it can't just be about tax cuts. That has not worked either.

Please, stop complaining and accusing, and start offering real suggestions and ideas that will work for America. And unfortuately, there will be people helped who shouldn't be. But hey! It is either that or continue to let the majority of Americans suffer because of the few greedy.

Check it out. Josephine McCarthy is back. Didn't she get enough ridicule for that MSNBC fiasco with Chris Matthews? Or does she want more?

OMG....stupidity truly reigns in the GOP. Where are the ideas? Where were the ideas? Why are the Repubs surprised that most people were/are ready for another direction after the stubborn incompetance of the Bush administration? If there had been one iota of bi-partisanship then we MIGHT not have Obama NOW. The Repubs got what they EARNED.

And we had dictatorship under the Republicans for 8 years.

What's their gripe about?

Let's not forget that the GOP engineered the bailout of the financial and auto industries. Obama inherited this mess but Comissar Bush is the architect.

This woman barely won her reelection! You would think she would have learned her lesson in the general election with her rude remarks! Apparently, like many, many Republicans, she is going to have to learn her lessons all over again since she flunked her exam the first time!

IT IS TIME ! to create a TEAM – TOUR THE FORCE – of lawyers, journalists, investigators... in order to uncover the ENEMIES OF THE STATE IN GOVERNMENT, IDENTIFIED THEM, NAME THEM, EXPOSE THEM TO THE PUBLIC...ASK FOR A NATION-WIDE CITIZEN REFERENDUM TO EXPELL THEM FROM OFFICE !....ALL THIS IN CONSTITUTIONAL WAY.SO THE GET REMOVED AND WE, THE PEOPLE, REPLACE THEM WITH DECENT INDIVIDUALS WITH GOOD CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY
Our beloved country deserves BETTER LEADERS.
sincerely,
Daniel Cabrera
Merrillville, Indiana

And another thing! Do the Republican Party think for one minute, that if they changed there 'look', people would change their 'minds' about them? First Steele, then Jindal, and now a..... w-o-m-a-n (yeah yeah that's it, we'll use a w-o-m-a-n). It's the message stupid! You can't keep the same message that most disagree with, then put 'believable' face on it to 'look' like change. GEEZ I'm LMAO! Talk about lipstick on a pig. Woe unto idiots, now, it's going to be even harder to sway new voters because of the cunnery. The GOP should have taken the opportunity to reflect, regroup, and rebuild, while helping to reconstruct America's economy. Instead, they decided to distract, disparage, and deconstruct any idea that didn't come from them. I believe they fear the success of the new administration because it would mean the death of them. Too bad, so sad.

If you look up "unhinged right-wing wacko" in the dictionary, you'll see Bachman's photo.

Jim, Burlington NC March 5th, 2009 4:02 pm ET

Still haven't met a Republican who can give me a correct definition of Socialism.

I agree Jim, "socialism" is the latest "boogeyman" that the Right-Wing blowhards and corporate apologists are using to scare people who don't know any better. I would like Michelle Bachmann or any of these people who are throwing around the word socialism to explain what it means, which of Obama's policies are socialist in nature and how these policies will lead this country to ruin. I'd also like them to explain exactly which parts of our current economic situation prove that capitalism is superior.

Conservative: "My fellow COMRADES. Welcome to the United Socialist Republics of Once America ! You will be told when to clap with the appropriate enthusiasm !!"

Pat: "I agree 100% – we will all be look-alike robots, no rights, everybody equal whether we contribute to society or not, our wealth is going to be spread around, and no matter how hard you work or save, you will be no better off than those who don't."

I'm not sure what alternative ideas you have – but is it something different than what has been going on during the past 8 years? If not – how about letting the dems see what solutions they have. Hey – it can't be worse than what the repubs did, and the last time the dems were in office they left a huge surplus. I think we deserve at least the same amount of time to straighten out the mess that the last administration took to get us here before you all start pronouncing us to be "socialists."

Bachman and Wamp. Makes my confidence in the GOP go sky High! Wamp, who said today the health insurance is a priveledge, not a right. Tell that to the people who cannot afford to buy it! As for Bachman, the dumbest woman I have ever seen ( worse than Palin), go spray a little more Aqua Net on your hair honey. You just keep on smelling the hairspray! What idiots!

Do any of you know what an Ogliarchy is?

It is the rule of the few, in their own interests.

We have just come out of 8 years of this type of government that created this mess.

I don't know about you, but I am tired of the rich getting richer while the rest of us struggle.

Whatever socialism is, it looks better to me than the last 8 years!

How come the RePIGlicans never point back to the last 8 years-the years that forced this country into "Socialism"? If this is Socialism (and it is not) then I will take more of it. Why don't you HELP this country get out of this mess you made, RePIGlicans, instead of making of names for the cure?

It' already here. Obamaism has taken over.

Hey Comrades!
Market down another 250+ points!!
WoooHooo! Spread the wealth!!

God forbid the Republicans won't be able to profit off the backs of Americans if that happens. If you want to know who the evil doers are look in the mirror !

I suspected that the GOP was dazed and confused, now I have no doubt. When Michelle Bachmann becomes the voice of reason in the Republican Party and the only response that voice has made is Socialism, without putting forth any viable alternative, the Republican Party is truly bankrupt of ideas

With the direction this economy is headed, we might be lucky if Socialism is the worst that we end up with.

I really didn't think I would hear anyone more moronic than that Palin wretch...Well, look how wrong you can be!

If you want to learn something about socialism, try keeping up with what Chavez is doing in Venezuela. The government has its giant claw in everything there. Sound familiar? Obama putting our tax dollars into everything so that all those receiving those funds now are at the mercy of Obama. Go ahead, keep reading whats going on down there and then mirror that to whats going on in America under the current administration.

Socialists don't spend anywhere near this kind of money, they right wing compared to this.

NUTJOB ALERT!

Oh "You Be Da Lady, You Be Day Lady." SHUT UP BACHMANN!! You're on the LOSING TEAM!!!!

Umm...we've had socialist policies and practices for decades...how is what Obama is doing anything new? We have things like the FDIC, welfare, labor unions, and social security. I'm sure Republicans wouldn't want to get rid of those things...especially the FDIC.

We've been "socialist" for a while. FDR endured the same insults Obama has when he proposed the New Deal.

And history repeats itself.

blah blah blah blah FEAR! blah blah blah COMMMIES! blah blah blah COMRADE!!! blah blah RESENTMENT!!! blah blah blah SOSHULIZM!!! blah blah...

It been Socialism for some since 1619 if you know what I mean.Said enough.

Seventy years ago everyone was saying FDR was a Socialist and would lead us to ruin. Of course nothing of the sort happened and we had prosperity, strong regulations that protected us, and we became a world leader. Nothing like that (Socialism) will happen this time either. The GOP, led by the moron Limbarf are just trying scare tactics as usual. What we need to fear is their way of running the government. Wars built on lies, shredding of the Constitution, spying on our own people, torturing. Amazing how much damage these people did in just eight years. Now they complain because of changes that are meant to fix their errors are being put into place by a progressive and intelligent leader. Any that thinks this economy can be fixed in 2 months is nuts. Obama is putting things in place with WILL fix the problems Bush created, but it will take a few years. Have patience.

Oh dear Miss Ruanway Bride Bachmann, the lights are on but there is certainly no one at home. Your idol Mr. Reagan was perhaps the greatest redistributer in chief as he was responsible for exapnding teh Earned Income Credit to (wait for it) provide additional income to people below certain income levels with families receiving monthly checks from the government. Apparently Reagan was the real socialist, maybe even a communist.

We've never seen this level of Nazism in the history of our country. If these mindless Republicans can't stop the hyperbole than they should be labeled for what they truly are.

Bachmann really needs to go away like Palen did.... Keep the rich richer and the poor poorer is her philosophy.....

Don't think for a minute that by calling the current Administration :"socialists" the Republicans are clawying at their coffin. This kind of mud-slinging has served the GOP well in the past, and will continue to serve them well in the future. Here's a little bit of explanation for those who belleve that we are headed towards Socialism... By investing in helping these buisinessess the government is safeguarding them against failure. In a Socialist state, these companies and their CEO's would have been put out to pasture because their existence hurt the society.

And if we WERE headed for Socialism, the people that put us on the track are the very Republicans who are now criticising these bills. Who controlled the White House for 16 of the past 24 years? Congress for 6 of the last 8? The Right-Wing, neo-conservatives are very quick to call these measures socialism, but they have offered NOTHING in place of them. So, let's hear something constructive. Instead of wishing for this administration's failure, show us you can lead, show us you can be fiscally conservative. If you can't, which you haven't, then don't drag others down. When Bush took over, we had a budget surplus. Not any more. So before you preach financial conservatism, practice it...

How completely silly. Yep, that's right– try and scare people with the "socialism" rantings when nothing else is working. And it's not "socialism" when the GOP wants to interfere with my reproductive life? Or when the President is told it's OK to search and seize without warrants? Or when the President decides to start a war so he will look macho? Keep it up, GOP. Your self-implosion is comical to watch.

Bachman is a whack job of the first degree....she wouldn't know a socialist if it bit her in the.....

The Repubs claim Obama is Socialist, but the Republican leadership of the past eight years possessed many attributes of Fascism. Don't believe me? Look up Fascism and think about how the Bush administration responded to Sept. 11. The Patriot Act? Wow.

Where were these socialist Republicans during the Bush years? While we are turning into a socialist country which is really bad. I find it funny that these people can call someone else a socialist.

The American people are sick of fear-mongering. They want real answers. Too bad Republicans can't think of any new ideas beyond the old tired crap that got here in the first place.

"You be da man" woman has spoken. Well, she was wrong about Steele being da man, so why should we listen to her on this issue?

Jim of Burlington, NC says:

"Still haven't met a Republican who can give me a correct definition of Socialism."

Will a definition from a Libertarian do?

socialism - an economic system based on state ownership of capital

Granted, what Obama is trying to do isn't ownership per se, but what he is trying to do is control the US economy by providing bail-outs with lots of strings attached. The effective difference between that and ownership is moot.

Ahhh, Bachman. The fact-free republican queen of uninformed inflammatory dis-information. Actually, she and Ann-the-man Coulter are neck-in-neck for that title as the most egregious right-wing manufacturers of spurious agitprop.

So, you republican guardians of all the is Right, can you show any of us where the Constitution dictates we must be a capitalist nation? Since you are so zealous about rooting out socialism in the US, do you want to shut down public schools, fire & police departments,our armed forces? They are examples of socialist policy. Will you refuse to use the national power grid, highways and roads, unemployment benefits, social security benefits, medicare and medicaid? Will you refuse government sponsored college tuition programs,like the GI Bill and Pell grants? I doubt you even understand these are examples of "socialist" programs, or the difference between socialism and communism, which you seem to be very, very confused about.

I would love for you to show me how socialist countries like France have it all wrong with their universal free health care, their incredibly inexpensive higher education system, their record of environmental leadership, the fact that their citizens don't have to work two and three jobs to keep a roof over their heads. And their jobs come with thirty days of vacation, unlimited sick days, and full child care. And they have the highest standard of living to boot, higher than us. Oh yeah, I can see how they got it all wrong.

Bachman...

If I knew how hard she'd work to ensure an Obama reelection, I would have never sent money to her opponent!

Bachmann,

Please shut-up. You are as ignorant as Palin.

now where do i start with this saucer eye idiot............if you have no idea.......shut up..............you know canada aint no socialist country and we got a sound banking system(#1in the world).......free health care........cheap medecations.......oh but wait......you have repugs that have taken money from every lobbyist in town and you want them to defend your liberties.............ha.......what a farce.......keep it up repugs and you will destroy your once beautifull & bountyfull country......what .....a shame

IF YOU THINK OBAMA IS LEADING US TO SOCIALISM YOU OBVIOUSLY FAILED HISTORY AND CIVICS

Socialism will be all we have in a few months if Obama continues to destroy everyones retirement fund and portfolio. But at least the poor people that don't work, don't pay taxes and bought homes they could never afford will get hand outs.

Pretty soon we will all have our hand out then where will Barack get the money to pay for all this?

Ummm, I thought the financial bailout was introduced by the previous Republican Administration? I still don't see what's so "socialist" in trying to fix an obviously broken system. If they're trying to sell me on capitalism, well didn't it just fail? So, they want me to give them another chance? It was predicted that our system would fail because of the extremity of greed that co-exists within free-market capitalism. But, we ignored the warnings because the getting was good. We ethnocentristically thumbed our noses at those outside of America and within, who told us there was an end to our current economic system. Again, we didn't listen. Just like the Big 3 didn't listen to Demings when he told them to focus on quality products and the improvement of processes. But noooooo, they wanted quantity and an increase in production. What we have here my, fellow Americans, is a failure; a failure to accept responsibility for this financial fiasco. So now my fellow warped American Republican brothers and sisters, want to scare me into remaining in the current failed system by yelling socialism, so that their pockets would become fatter. Yeah right, I'm shakin' in my boots. Tell that lie to Rush's followers. I'm done.

Obviously, Michele Bachmann has never read Adam Smith or Karl Marx or has even an iota of understanding about what socialism or capitalism is all about. My question to her is more general: how does the Wall Street bail-out and proposals for health care reform erode our civil liberties? Last I looked, there is nothing in the laws that say "and oh, by the way, the Bill of Rights is repealed."

As Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself." Michele Bachmann is intent on fanning the flames of fear instead of coming up with meaningful solutions.

Oh PLEASE. Michele Bachmann is a neo-McCarthyist who believes members of Congress should be investigated for anti-American sentiments. She confuses "anti-Conservative" with "anti-American". I'm disgusted that she represents Americans in our government.

@Kevin in Ohio March 5th, 2009 4:01 pm ET
Keep listening to RUSH -–IDIOT!!!

Funny, my copy of the Constitution is missing the part where it specifies that the U.S. economic system must follow a capitalist rather than socialist model. Must have fallen out while George W. Bush was stomping on it. I'll let you know when I find it.

Still haven't met a Republican who can give me a correct definition of Socialism.

Still meeting Republicans calling the POTUS the Messiha, gues they are the ones letting Rush Limp-baugh and Ann "adams apple" Coltier think and speak for them.

And what's not to like about G. Gordon Liddy? Convicted felon, part of Nixon's inner circle, fan-boy of the Bushes...

Only in America coupld a politicle party as twisted and morally bankrupt as the GOP could ever come to power.

Poor marginlized regional political party that it is now...

My fellow COMRADES. Welcome to the United Socialist Republics of Once America ! You will be told when to clap with the appropriate enthusiasm !!

I think we should consider the ideas rep Bachmann has put forth to help our country. Oh, wait...she has not put forth any ideas.

Yeah, I don't get why the dems voted this administration in. Socialism has been proven to be a poor economic institution time and again. We, conversely, have proven why capitalism is successful time and again. We, above all, should be the last ones to change from a system that has worked for decades. This not a change I can believe in. Really bad idea!

Toole, ObamaMama, Floridakaye, and Nick....if you cant see that what we are headed toward is socialism, you a surely blind. Thank you, comrades, for voting for Obama and helping this country on its way to destruction.

pat/american first;

You two are talking about Bush aren't you? No rights? You two are pretty narrowminded. Phsyically ill? Robots? Oh Please! your tearing me up! Stop! Too funny! Get real!

Repugs love to invoke the "S" word to to try and scare the bejeezus out of the American Public.

"a growth future, a prosperity future, a freedom liberty future."

Don't make me laugh! You mean a future like we had for the last eight years?? Where were the voices of the 'Borrow and Spend' crowd then?

Bachmann, wake up and go back to school in Poli-Sci. You do live in a Democratic Socialist country. The fire department doesn't ask how much you pay in taxes before they fight the fire on your house do they? Twit.

8 years of HELL is now showing up. What the H did former President Bush do to this country? I haven't a clue. Somebody tell me PLEASE!!!!!!

Yeah Michelle, keep em coming... we need insurance that the GOP will be in the wilderness for a VERY long time.

why is this woman still in the office?

The Republicans will say and do anything to make themselves blameless. Dumb Idiots.

At least some Republican elected officials are returning to some basic conservative mantras, even though they just are no longer really relevant to where the world and our nation are in the scheme of things. Fortunately for Americans, Republican politics have taught us a very hard, but very lasting lesson and that is it speaks in stereotypes, biases, untruths, and at times, abject lies.

Bachmann is great! Please keep voting for her. Palin/Bachmann 2012. Nyahahahahahah!

Marshall Law is next. The administration is already sounding the bell to mobilize troops for domestic problems. Wake up America before all our rights are gone and those millionaires on the Hill control our every thought.

Socialism is a non issue for me. Obama is just trying to fix the repugnants mess. Bush was a marxist. His way or off with your head... i'm glad he's gone and Obama's here.

Michelle Bachmann...........MN nightmare.............credibility at its finest!!!

Why cant the republicans just keep their mouth shut. Every time they open it they dig the hole deeper for them selves. Go join your dear Rush guy who is making matters worse for your party. Also take Sarah with you.

Shes a joke.

Give Obama a chance he has his hands full, but I will give the man credit I have seen him more & he has worked harder than any president in recent history. It is going to take time, I do not agree with everything he has proposed but I trust that it will all work out. Keep in mind the previous 8 years which brought us all shame & put our nation in this disaster...The GOP is full of disgrace, they are all so negative & hate change.....

Bachman is basically Palin's twin sister but a lot dumber.

Why does cnn even cover this thank god for more substantive websites like politico huffpo etc. Cnn is becoming more irresponsible and less substantive.

I would like for all of these people who keep screaming socialism would put forth some plans to solve the severe problems that we're having in America. Just simply saying the other person's plan sucks is not going to cut it and the exact reason the Repubs are not in office now. Half the people screaming socialism don't even know what it means in the first place...so sad!

Go Michelle!!! She is absolutely correct, she is a true Republican!

Love it, love it. The republicans keep giving. Now Bachman is speaking out. Their leadership is a joke!

Who cares what Michele Bachmann or any other right wing wack has to say. The bottom line is this. President Obama won the presidency by a very large margin, both by the popular vote and the electoral college vote. People want what he is selling, if the reverese were true there would be a President Mc Cain and more republicans in the house and Senate. Righties like Bachmann have stale ideas and cling to their old ideas and fears. We the people see right through that and have voted for the kind of change President Obama is trying to bring about. I am still trying to figure out why anything that may slightly resemble socialism is a bad thing. Maybe we can use some of that and reshape America for the better. It's time for change and what Bachmann and her cronnies reprensent is more of the same no matter what new catch phrase or twisting of terms they use. When Americans finally start paying attention again, like we have begun to we really are not that dumb. Bachmann keep tellingl you're story to the hardcore righties, they are the only folks that will listen and they are becoming a fast shrinking audience.

if it were up to the republicans, we would be living in a theocracy where christianity is king. Why are they warning us about socialism Bush was the first president ever to bail out the banks, how socialist is that? Bunch of hypocrits.

Amen, Michelle. I hope you run for Governor.

Just which Western European countries is she referring to that have limited freedom and economic doldrums?? The economic doldrums started in the good old USA!!! Most European countries have had stronger growth than the US. You just can never admit that somewhere else might have something going for it and maybe even learn from it. This is why the US is viewed as arrogant around the globe...

Plus what Mr. Obama is proposing is not Socialism...and John McCain wanted mortgage bailouts – does that make the maverick a socialist???

How Michelle Bachman was elected after her fiasco with Chris Mathews is unbelievable. She is sickening and deserves to be the co-host of the Rush Limboss show

Hey Elephants, pay back 5 trillion dollars worth of debt that W left us all and we will really be free in the future.

Socialism has replaced liberalism as the new rear work for the GOP. Not this time PAL, tricks are for kids.

Tell you're story to the hardcore righties thay will never have an open mind because those are the only folks that will listen and they are becoming a fast shrinking audience.

What's wrong with Europe? Last I checked the Euro was beating the U.S. dollar to shreds.

Seems like the Republican party is re-branding itself to cater to ignorant xenophobes, homophobes, racists, and any other fear-based irrationality it can attach itself to.

Sorry Bachmann ... but the nutjobs like you are the minority now.

I am so tired of hearing *Socialism* just a *word* *a label*
I am from Canada and am an older lady who has NEVER paid a doctor bill or a hospital bill in my entire life and I have been to both hundreds of times over the years bc I have been a severe asthmatic all my life!!
We have no insurance companies to pay thru the nose for either!!!
Do we have wait times ...sure... but only for minor ailments but ty I will take OUR health care sytem and wait times over YOURS anyday!!!
Bottom line is NO Canadian has ever lost their home, their life savings
or gone bankrupt over health care!!!!
By the way our country is not a socialist country either!
We are a free democracy!!!
No person should go without health care!!

This is apparently the only response that Republicans have. They use it for EVERYTHING. Squawk....socialism....socialism...squawk squawk.

If this is socialism, then bring it on, because apparently under Bush, we had a dictator. Being proven now by all of the memos from the Justice Department that are being released.

Hey 'socialism'...you'll be the most mis-used word for the next 4-8 years!

Oh joy.

For all those who said President Bush failed, well, didn't America then failed? And if America has already failed, how then can President Obama succeed?

Lets be wild and say they are right. In the next election we would be right back to our old ways. A preseident cannot make the nation Socialist, to do so the constitution would have to be changed.

where do I start?!? First of all Rep Bachmann needs new handlers. Her frequently displays of her houseplant-like intelligence do the GOP no service. And what would she recommend we do during this deep recession to counter our growing crisis? She recommended nothing because the last 8 years have demonstrated the GOP's religion of plutocracy and an unchecked free market have nearly destroyed our economy. They are bankrupt of ideas so they resort to the "sky is falling" cries of Socialism. It's rather sad a formidible national party can't put one viable idea on the table to challenge the Obama approach. Instead, like children, they resort to hyperbole and empty platitudes – "Blahblah we love freedom and liberty. Obama bad!" Real enlightened.

Does anyone REALLY listen to this lunatic? This woman doesn't have a frigging clue of what she's talking about. She' s like a wind-up doll with a Rush Limbaugh record spinning inside her.

Lets be wild and say they are right. In the next election we would be right back to our old ways. A preseident cannot make the nation Socialist, to do so the constitution would have to be changed.

Seriously, when are these politicians and the American citizens in general going to learn that socialism is not a bad thing. It is actually a good thing. Lets just naively look at the two terms: Capitalism and Socialism (even though we all should understand that our country is a mix of the two but fundamentally capitalist). Capital-ism. A system revolved around capital, money. Capitalism only cares about the flow of money. Not the quality of life for humans or anything like that. Capitalism only cares about humans as far as how much they can work and spend to produce more capital for the system. On the other hand, Social-ism. A system for the society and the people within in it. Socialism is all about the people. Attempting to make sure all the people in society have the basic needs and live a healthy life. Now, we as people, that live in a society should want the system that cares about 'people' not 'money'. America and many in the rest of the world need to seriously wake up.

Lets be wild and say they are right. In the next election we would be right back to our old ways. A preseident cannot make the nation Socialist, to do so the constitution would have to be changed.

the repubs just do not want to work together to acheive anything. they like things to be diversive-its so sad and obnoxious. when are they gonna realize that americans dont want their style of governing???????

Facism is so much better.

Republicans do more name-calling than elementary school students. So many critics with no alternatives.

What's Bachmann's solution???? I'm sure she doesn't have one. They just want to label President Obama in a negative manner because they are scared of how much he is doing so fast. They are scared that his policies will work. And they will work. Once they do, Bachmann and the other Republican whiners will look like idiots.

nevermind Alaska's permanent fund, the most socialist program in the country. Nevermind Denmark's example as rhe happiest place on earth (socialist) Nevermind that the life expectancy of the average US citizen is on the decline compared to socialist countries.

Just enjoy your low wage, high payroll taxes, shut up and take it like a good sheep. N evermind the 20% increase in heath insurance costs...

100% Agree with you....He is creating the liberal dream a "Wellfare" country.

Obama needs to be reminded that he has no mandate to do what he's attempting.

Republicans need to dig their heels in and not give in an inch. So in 2010 when 2 years of this riduclous strategy fails, they can take the Congress back.

Signed

47 Million of Americans who did'nt vote for the Messiah!!!

Republicans are just so irrelevant! The bailouts started with Bush.
And what do you think Social Security is? This is just all about the rich not wanting to pay their fair share of anything including taxes. These money-grubbers got us in this mess in the first place.

LOL Does anyone take this woman seriously, Has she offerede any other solutions? NO! All the right wants to do is use fear tactics and call everything Socialism!

For all those who said President Bush failed, well, didn't America then failed? An if America has already failed, how then can President Obama succeed?

Soon it will all be over and the Republican party will go the way of the whigs... The louder the scream the closer they get.

Oh Bachmann the Wicked Witch,Didnt she say Only REAL Americans vote Republican Hey Miss witch DA MAN Is not doing so well For your Party! Need Not worry About Our President you Need to worry about your LYING PATHETIC PARTY That only has a 26% Percent Approval Ratings ARE THE REPUBLICANS EVER GONNA COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT THEN SOCIALISM ITS GETTING BORING!

Michelle Bachman is the biggest jerk, you da man, you da man....

Michele Bachman??? One of the better comedic Republicans – in the same league as those only taken seriously by the wing-nuts within the GOP. No one with a functioning brain can rationalize the logic of this most bizarre woman...

Scratching and clawing from the inside of the coffin... RIP / GOP

I agree 100% – we will all be look-alike robots, no rights, everybody equal whether we contribute to society or not, our wealth is going to be spread around, and no matter how hard you work or save, you will be no better off than those who don't.

It makes me physically ill to see what Obama and friends have in store–We can only hope he comes to his senses and stands up to Pelosi. If not, my vote will change in 2012

"Michele Bachmann..."

That's all we need to know.

The GOP would not know Socialism if it bit them in the buttocks. Look at how ghetto they have become since Steele has taken over. Domestic Violence between Rush and Steele, the Governors and the Congress. Talk of Bling Bling and being off the hook. Nice white women saying things like "You Be The Man". What is wrong with you people. Just trashie.

In an e-mail to fellow RNC members obtained by The Hill, Dr. Ada Fisher, North Carolina's national committeewoman, said Steele is "eroding confidence" in the GOP and that members of his transition team should encourage him to step aside. Fisher added Steele's personal e-mail address to the e-mail.
