I had Democrats typed in and then changed it before posting. reQublicOns use the words socialism/socialist
when referring to any Democrat and paint it as something very bad for America. I've always wondered how
many people on our side of the aisle were as scared of that word as repugs believe people should should be.
With only 2 "I'm not a socialist" responses, believe we're well aware of what it really means. Kudos for being
able to look past the smoke & mirrors.
