I think this rather funny and ironic. In a sense I have always argued that the republicans were socialists but socialists for the rich. This conservative feels differently. Worth a read and some thought. Of course, I wish the republicans were more socialistic in the positive sense of taking care of America and all its inhabitants - not just the wealthy.

"What’s going on on the social-democratic Right [republican] is mere political posturing, trying to reclaim a brand label for themselves that was fraudulent to begin with so they can try to disguise themselves now that they don’t have to back up a Republican President with their votes anymore. What does that make them? Apparently less honest with themselves than President so-called “Compassionate Conservative” Bush II. At least we knew where Bush II stood. And Ron Paul is right too. The social-democratic Right simply believes in different spending priorities (like the trillion dollar War in Iraq) and wants to fund them with tax cuts which means more borrowing to cover the costs, all thanks to House GOP leader Rep. “Borrow-and-Spend” Boehner.
Don’t believe me? Try this experiment. Write to every Republican Congressperson in Tennessee and Kentucky and ask them whether they support privatizing the socialistic Tennessee Valley Authority."
