12. The level of GOP ignorance never ceases to amaze me

OK, OK, I know many GOP-ers will say stupid things because it will garner one more vote of the base, but how really ignorant does one have to be to fall for a statement like Sen. Daines proposed in his Resolution?
If Daines studied Comparative Economic Systems in college, or elsewhere, and had a personal opinion about that, I might give him a pass. But to speak out of school about Socialism or any subject matter of which he knows nothing, seems woefully stupid.
Since Daines has a college degree in Chemistry, perhaps he would get the point if I offered an opinion about the molecular structure of spittle, about which I know nothing.
(BTW, no Democratic candidate that I am aware of, on any level, proposes the complete public ownership of all the means of production, or Socialism.)
