LOL - And John McCain called Teddy Roosevelt his hero. Does that make him a hypocrite or a fool?

That is really interesting, Ashley! Thanks :-) I wish more people were aware of the way that political campaigns are trying to manipulate them. I think the McCain campaign knows that many Americans equate socialism and communism and that if they use the word socialism in relation to Obama, they will evoke fear. I've seen some blinkies and some posts that play right into that by showing or talking about socialism as someone holding a knife or gun to you and robbing you of your money. The Obama campaign has its own tactics, but they aren't about inducing fear, they're about eliciting frustration with the status quo (not tough to do). I find the "fear" politics more irksome.
