If you listen to anything a GOP says today just about everything they do not like is turning us all into communists.
Green energy programs are making us communist.
ACA is communist.
Being pro labor or pro union makes you a communist.
A decent pay check - You are a communist.
Being pro women's rights - You are a communist.
Wanting good air. - You are a communist.
Demanding clean water. - You are a communist.
Defend teachers. - You are really a communist you want to turn the children into Ruskies.
If you are a Democrat. - You are a card carrying Pinko.
If you are against voter ID - You are a communist taking away everyone's freedom and liberty.
If you support labor laws - You are a communist wanting to take over honest businesses.
If you support the right of LGBT, the disabled and the hungry. - You are a communist.
If you support tax fairness. - You are a communist.
And it goes on and on and on. There is a COMMUNIST under every rock and around every corner. I believe they have moved past socialist by now. Life if full of irony. The party that is hollering the most about all of us communists out here uses the color RED as its color.
BTW If you are not a registered Repukelican you are a communist.

These people are not thinkers, that's for goddamn sure.

(15,064 posts)This just demonstrates how old and out of touch the GOP is. I grew up during the 50's and 60's when that word was thrown around to spread fear. Thank goodness I was smart enough not to believe the BS that was constantly thrown around then.

(3,173 posts)They've gone hysterical because they're looking at a massive defeat in November. It's not going to be close - money won't make the difference. They're dreading the possibility that Romney is a prima donna.
Didja see how Rick Perry is making public statements lately? Hmm. What has he been saying privately?
