Just seeing what you four or five people on the board who would classify themselves as "Republican" think about McCain getting the nomination.

So when you say socialist or communist, are you talking about people that are really socialist or communist or do you mean people that are "socialists" or "communists" (ie. Democrats)?

They _ARE_ socialists and communists.

That's the basis for the current crop of "Democrats".

If they are "socialists and communists," then by your re-defining of political extremes...Republicans = fascists.

Well, that would be comparing apples to oranges. Socialism and Communism are socio-economic while Fascism is based loosely on racism and unity as far as class goes (sounds more Democratic anyway).

Anyway, my basic idea of a good government is one that understands people. People want to make money, they want to succeed, and they want to be happy. If companies are forced to support the society (therefore taking significant money out of their pockets), they will stop doing business.
