It can be argued that everybody in the U.S. is a socialist since the U.S. is a socialist country. But if you want to single U.S. citizens out as socialists one at a time, go ahead duder.

John Sidney McCain the Third is an experienced flip-flopper who can't even move his arms or fingers. I'm voting for the new kid who can type good and talk good.

I am neither a McCain supporter nor an Obama supporter, but that shot at McCain's arms was a low blow. He suffers because of his service to this country. Even if you disagree with him and disagree with the Vietnam War, to mock him for serving our country is pretty bad.

I think making fun of his arms is about as lame as calling Obama a socialist.  I was responding to Ickalanda who repeats that in every thread and then disappears.  Personally I prefer good robot arm jokes about Bob Dole, but those are out of fashion these days.

I don't really think war injuries make candidates more able to lead the country.  Kerry had about a billion purple hearts compared to Bush's "cut and run" strategy during Nam and nobody cared.  Bob Dole had a total cyborg arm compared to Clinton's "cut an run" strategy and nobody cared.  If this trend keeps up, McCain's military service will actually get Obama elected!
