So, if Romney says Clinton is like Marx, can I say Romney is like Castro?

Mitt blasts Dems in N.H.: Likens Clinton’s views to those of Marx - U.S. Politics - BostonHerald.com

So, if Romney can compare Clinton to Marx, may I compare Romney to Castro?

Obama debate comments set off firestorm

In truth, the phrase does not belong to free Cubans. It has been a trademark speech ending for Castro, their most despised opponent.

I don't think there are any similarities between Romney and Castro...so, no.

That's not a marxist idea, that's a democratic (not the party, but the idea of a democracy) idea, or I guess in our terms, a republican idea (not the party, the idea of a republic) idea

Great Britain, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Australia and Canada are all Marxist? Wow

The Cold War is over, the Soviets won

No?

Doesn't change the fact that they employ a marxist policy

So everyone employs Marxist ideology except for Africa, the Muslim world, former Soviet states, and a few poor countries in Latin America...

Or...I can can go with booming Japan, South Korea...Australia...or European economic power states like Germany, UK...strong latin american countries like Argentina/Chile...or our friendly Canadian neighbors

Tough call, I wonder where anyone would rather live...

There are countries with less progressive policies, and lower taxes

And when the US implements universal healthcare, you're actually going to want to move to Somalia? Little to no "socialist" policies, no universal healthcare either...sounds perfect

Yeah, compare us to a 3rd world country. Please, don't be so short-sighted and take such issues one at at time. Enjoy the larger picture

Only first world?

Ok, Turkey has no universal healthcare or many "socialist" programs, and they are a first world country

Anyone remember Hilllary's short lived views on Ritalin?

She spoke out, as a senator should, and correctly.

She supposed it should be looked into, how that psychriatric therapy has been misused, and way over prescribed, for normal active children. Turning some into virtual aombies for the purpose of maintaing classroom order. In many cases prescriptions were issues with no cross-check into other neurological disorders such as Epilepsy.

The powerful community that peddles Ritalin (although never for their own children) "reeducated her" quickly.

She has not, to my knowledge, utteredword one on that subject since.

For those acquainted with the idealogy, That has the smell of "control" and is part and parcel of what Marx would approve, "for their own good".

She's a lot more careful with unsolicited notions now, and will avoid having to be taken to the woodshed by those who would seek to manipulate what the
prolitariat should know and question about such things.

That's one example.

Hillary has had long ties to communist/socialist groups. Romney is a politician from Mass so I guess he indirectly has ties to communist/socialist groups as well..
