Does it hurt the GOP when they call Obama a socialist?
Among their base, not at all. Among rational people, quite a bit.
If he were a socialist, healthcare reform would be more than Romneycare.
If he were a socialist, Wall St and a fair number of Bush Admin insiders would be in prison for the housing bubble, and more would be for authorizing torture.
If he were a socialist, he'd have vetoed ongoing tax breaks for the Rich.
If he were a socialist, he wouldn't be Obama.
