Socially Incorrect

It's quite funny that the McCain campaign seems to think that accusing Obama of wanting to "spread the wealth" is gonna' piss anyone off other than the millionaires and billionaires  who want to make sure the government keep spreading it to them.  They're also calling him a "socialist", which is news to all the real socialists of the world.  Just read what the real "socialist" left think of Obama.  Google around for recent quotes from people like Cornel West, Noam Chompsky and people like that.  The types of "lefties" that Obama seems to be attracting are people like Christopher Hitchens.  That is to say EX-lefties.  But I digress.

The interesting thing about the "socialist" tag is that it may have worked for John, Sarah and Co. If only they'd stop reminding us all that "socialism" also means "speading the wealth".  I can see Joe Sixpack, (or even Joe the "I'm Not Really A" Plumber) sitting there at home, paying more attention to politics than they ever have before, because 2 of their cousins are in Iraq, they can't get construction or well paying plumping work in this economy, gas is a zillion bucks a refill, and their small IRA or 401k is smaller than ever.  So they're flipping away from NASCAR and checking out some "fair and balanced" news for once.  What do they see?  They see everyone yelling about how Obama's team want to "spread the wealth"!!!!!

"Hmmmm" says fictitious Joe.  "Uh.......yeah........and that's bad because 'a why again?"

I really think this'll backfire for them.  But everything else has too, so why stop now!  McCain should have a new slogan:

"McCain/Palin:  Vote for us!  We'll stop spreading all that wealth!  We'll keep the wealth in one place, where it belongs!!"
