Funny. I'll keep aloof of the context to avoid stupefying myself. Assume Mr. Obama harbors a Communist agenda. It couldn't possibly be any worse than a President with a Theocratic agenda, could it? Anyway, Communism isn't an accepted political party. They may as well have labelled him a dictator. "Mr. Obama is a closet totalitarian." Totalitarians don't run for office. Communists don't run for office, to the best of my knowledge. Kings don't run for office. Maybe Fox News (right? It was Fox News, wasn't it?) meant that Obama is a Socialist. In which case, they'd at least be trying to get the round blue peg into the round yellow hole, as opposed to the football into the round yellow hole. (I know, pegs, balls, and holes. It's a metaphor. Stay with me here, people!) So what if he is a Socialist? I mean, it's a little late to change the party you're running for. But I think it's acceptable (if not practical) for a Democrat to run for office as a Republican and vice versa, as long as they're registered and elected as such. Besides, the United States Socialist party has to be pretty pathetic. I think our party system only really has room for the Republicans of the Democratic Republic and the Democrats of the Democratic Republic of United States of America. Anything else would probably confuse and frighten the citizenry. Joe: Democrats be blue, Jim. Liberals! Scurvy scallawags! Jim: Yon Republicans be red! Avast! Conservatives! Walk the plank! Achmed: Well, what's white then? Surely you have a third party to compliment your fla-- Joe and Jim: *Stab!* Terrorist! Communist! Weapons of mass destruction! Argh! Ahem. ....I like pirates. --- "The dude abides."
