you have to respect someone who survived being from a commie country. He needs to separate the memory of communist repression from what obama is offering for example. The problem with the commies wasnt necessarily socialism, it was totalitarianism. There is little of that from the left today that is supporting obama. However there is a small contigent of the left that is hard anti-democratic as well as anti-capitalist. Joe is smart and often gets to the heart of an argument but if and when he compares you to Lenin, i will take your side. Now Trotsky would be a different matter. (g) Joe aint evil and neither are you. Shorty and Parsons otoh, thats a different story.

The Republicans of today seem to come from a particular place. Protecting and accumulating their wealth takes precedence over everything else while they seem to suffer from a high level of paranoia that leads the US into messes like Iraq. The two may be related. Joe epitomizes that behavior even as he is smarter than the average Republican. For that reason, I don't trust him.
