36. Yes, we should listen to him.

So wikipedia thinks he's a Marxist. Since when has wiki been the defining source? RepubiliCONS think Obama is a socialist, Muslim, American hating Christian. Should we quote them too?

But aside from that, Marx was right. His analysis of economic issues was spot on accurate. His solutions on the other hand, left much to be desired.

And Paul Street's analysis is spot on too. One of the reasons I did not vote for Obama in the primaries was his vote in favor of the telecom amnesty act, that was soon overshadowed by his yes vote on the Wall Street bailout.

Obama is a conservative RepubliCON much like Herbert Hoover was. When a Democratic president acts like a RepubliCON, the country starts voting real RepubliCONS into office. It happened under Clinton and it happened in the midterm. It's because the nation only hears the one side. Rarely are any real liberal issues discussed seriously and when they are it is usually to condemn and ridicule the left. The RepubliCONS most represent what both political parties are saying. So, the obvious solution is to vote RepubliCON.

Now, this will probably work in Obama favor in 2012 as it worked for Clinton in his reelection. I say probably because sometimes people catch on they don't really have a liberal even if he calls himself a Democrat. But this will kill any Democratic or liberal Senators and Representatives chance for reelection. We will very likely lose both houses in the next voting cycle and we will probably get a RepubliCON in the White House in 2016.

See, Obama is pushing the RepubliCON line and the RepubliCONS are pushing the same line so, voters are going to pick real RepubliCONS.

Unless of course the economy goes to hell. Then all bets are off.
