(7,617 posts)the main reason. Im assuming 35% or so are just racists, bigots, etc., who wouldnt vote for a liberal no matter what. I dont have the answer, but we need to figure something out quickly with mid-terms just around corner.

(137,306 posts)Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan "Down With Socialism" on the banner of his "great crusade," that is really not what he means at all.
What he really means is "Down with Progress--down with Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal," and "down with Harry Truman's fair Deal." That's all he means.
' In President Harry's Truman's remarks in Syracuse, New York on October 10, 1952.'
