#1 "It was hard for me to believe that you were entirely serious about that socialist question," he told reporters, who had interviewed the president aboard Air Force One on Friday.

...and therein lies the problem.

#2 Guess he's not ready to come out of the closet yet.

But I wonder how he voted in the Senate on the prescription drug program. And what was his position in regards to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the sub prime mortgages that caused all the difficulty we are now experiencing? Did he vote at all or did he just say "present"? And who does he think is going to pay for his universal health care? And why is he making nice with those communist bastards in Cuba?

#5 It's a grave offence to call a true bona fide marxist-leninist a socialist.

#8 Would he prefer Maoist? ;)

He's got thinner skin than a newborn's eyelids. Sheesh. FDR didn't let that label faze him, nor did Clinton. Man up and let it slide.

#9 I would have loved to have seen the NYT ask Cheney or Rumsfeld if they were socialists.

#10 Judge a man by his works.

Judge a man by his friends.

Therefore, Big Zero is con artist.
