Spread the wealth is not "communist" to me. It is a belief that is actually very commendable...but not what I believe in as it pertains to personal responsibility.
if one says "whats wrong with spreading the wealth a little" is one that I see as a liberal. I do not hold it against them...but as a conservative, I would never see anyone as anything other than one with liberal values if he uses a line like that.
It is not a stab at him. I dont hold it against him just as I dont hold it against anyone who believes in that....but it defines a persons political belief in my eyes..,..and one that believes in spreading the wealth is one of a liberal belief...IN MY EYES.
I think you're mistaking his rhetoric for what he really is.
Of course his rhetoric is liberal - that's why he won. But Washington is a machine - and he's a machine part. The machine doesn't allow anything that far from the status quo.
Do me a favor...read what I am about to say and dont jump to conclusions...I am not reliving the campaign.......but read what I am saying.
I define a man by what he surrounds himself with. Not just in politics..but in life..
He belonged to a very radical church with a liberal ideology...and I am not damming him for it...but he was there for 20 years.
He has played a role in Acorn...an organization that is NOT CORRUPT except for some on the inside, but one that is of a liberal ideology....does good things, yes....but from a liberal standpoint....and he has strong ties there.
He used the term "spread the wealth"
He has admitted liberals around him in the WH....as advisors.....good people perhaps, but they are liberal in nature.
If I have to define the man as liberal, moderate or conservative, I see nothing that says anything but liberal.
