We seldom talk frankly about the Democratic party and economics — and that includes conservatives. I think we are perpetually afraid of the McCarthyism charge. But some are unafraid, of course — like Phil Gramm, who says that the Democrats have been functionally socialist for a long time. You have to define which socialism you mean. Pure, original, nationalize-practically-everything socialism? No, the Dems aren't there. But current Euro socialism, which grudgingly allows corporations to make money in a highly taxed and highly regulated environment - if they can? Yep, the Dems are so there. There might be a fruitful line of ads connecting Obama to EU Socialists.
