Your money is my money pardner. With all of the screaming about ‘Obamacare’ and socialism, one would assume that all right-thinking Republicans would run from the title ‘socialist.’ After all, in the Republican brain socialism spans the vast gap from communism to free lunch programs.

He simply doesn’t do well in positions where he’s allowed to sign the checkbook.
