Socialism comes in many forms - another conveniently ignored fact by our friends on the right.

That's simply untrue. You're better than this, A51. Don't act like Gog and group everyone who might disagree with you into the same big ole' group of bad guys.
The whole Tea Party movement started because of these exact issues. Our government is spending money at a rate that cannot be sustained. Of course it's not all Obama's fault. The people that are paying attention to what's really killing America are not fans of Bush, McCain, or Obama because those guys believe in, and deliver, a bigger government that we cannot afford. There
are plenty of Republicans, Democrats, and others who understand this, and they've been more vocal than ever in the last year. People have a right to be pissed off. I hope it continues and I hope the anger grows as people become more informed, although the message is becoming more watered down as more people glam on and try to bring other issues to the table, but whatever... it's not a Republican vs. Democrat issue because the leaders of both parties have it wrong. There isn't a dime's worth of difference between them when you look at the scope of our problems.
I love your example because at the last Tea Party event around here, I was talking to a Democrat farmer specifically about farm subsidies. They don't help all farmers, after all.
