RNC faction wants Dems branded socialists

[Posteritatis]

Quoth Politico:

A conservative faction of the Republican National Committee is urging the GOP to take a harder line against both Democrats and wayward Republicans, drafting a resolution to rename the opposition the “Democrat Socialist Party” and moving to rebuke the three Republican senators who supported the stimulus package.

In an e-mail sent Wednesday to the 168 voting members of the committee, RNC member James Bopp, Jr. accused President Obama of wanting “to restructure American society along socialist ideals.”

“The proposed resolution acknowledges that and calls upon the Democrats to be truthful and honest with the American people by renaming themselves the Democrat Socialist Party,” wrote Bopp, the Republican committeeman from Indiana. “Just as President Reagan’s identification of the Soviet Union as the ‘evil empire’ galvanized opposition to communism, we hope that the accurate depiction of the Democrats as a Socialist Party will galvanize opposition to their march to socialism.”

This is hilarious. I love these guys, just not for the reasons they wish I would.

Midterm elections are gonna be awesome at this rate.

3. Self fullfilling prophecy?

Perhaps this will restart a discussion about socialism, the democratic mixed economy version, right here in the belly of the beast.

5. it would be good insofar as it would popularize socialism.

people need to take more interest in the basic direction of society and which social system we should adopt. the right talking about socialism is a good thing in that regard.
