World Socialist Party: "OMFno-G no. ... Duh."

McCain might be a leprechaun.

Why call him that? Because people don't know the meaning of the word, or its history, but they have been taught to fear it and also equate socialism with communism (that is scientific socialism). Every nation on this hemisphere is a socialist state, including Canada. If you want to know what socialism is all about, ask a Canadian.

My Grandfather was a socialist leprechaun. Please stop assuming that all leprechauns and socialists are bad.

Americans wouldn't understand socialism if it came up and bit us. Go live in Canada or Europe if you want socialism, they actually have a left wing. For myself I like liberalism, in the old fashioned sense of the word, which is actually pretty conservative by todays standards. America is one of the first and maybe only nation on earth that believes in and promotes a weak government. The rest of the world grew up on Monarchies and Empires. Socialism is just another centralized way for the government to control the economy.

PS - leprechauns are clearly anarchists, not socialists. And everybody knows that nothing Irish is bad.

Socialist: 1) anyone who once entertained a fleeting idea that government might - however briefly - do something worthwhile, 2) a politician without a flag pin, 3) one who thinks poor people become less poor when poor people have money (as opposed to the idea that poor people become less poor when rich people have money) 4) (obsolete) one who agrees with the principles of socialism.

1-3 are unamerican pinkos who don't deserve to be heard. Principles of Socialism is an oxymoron.
