Elvis, one question - Have you ever lived in a Socialistic State? I'm not talking about Washington State I'm talking about Scandanavia, New Zealand (prior to the mid 1980's), any of the Communistic countries, maybe England. I'm trying to understand why a guy with reasonable credibility (even though I think you are wrong most of the time) and the ability to make a well reasoned arguement, would risk it by making an asinine statement that the Democratic Party is socialistic. Please explain what version of Socialism, the Dems represent.
