I am a Ron Paul supporter myself who will be writing his name on the Nov. 4th ballot. However, to have a thread devoted to whether Obama is a Communist or a Socialist, with those being the only two options, seems to me to be a bit disingenuous.

Obama is not going to "redistribute wealth" at the magnitude that this post suggests. His tax increase for the top 5% will return the system back to the rates of the Clinton Administration, which would not appear to be as dramatic a shift as suggested.

I do not know whether or not to believe in Obama, but he is the best option we have right now, so I figure give him the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, he could be as clever as JFK, and could truely tranform this great nation.

best to all,
