Why are American voters willing to turn America into a Socialist country?

Question

We have seen through out history that countries that have turned to, or are Socialist don't work, they make government richer, it restricts peoples rights, and make poor and middle class people poorer. So why do you think the American voter is so willing to elect a Socialist (The Messiah Barrack Obama) into Presidency? Make no mistake The Messiah Barracks ideas are Socialist if you want to believe it or not. . So are you willing to have less, and pay more and have more of your rights restricted to elect him? Are Americans really thinking about this, or are they just looking at, "this is the time to elect a man of color" and ignoring what he is really saying. If you don't receive Emails, do not respond.

Answer 1

Ben Franklin predicted the end of this country when people discovered they can vote themselves money.

Answer 2

Point taken he is not Socialist but people might vote socialist.

As to Socialist systems were people to make their own currency The Gov would not impinge the citizens would have the curency not The Gov. Could have both if you want.

The people actually might have said about him if he was they would have.

Answer 3

I hope Obama will lead an international move towards the salvation of our planet and the mankind,and the solution for the whole world is a new order based upon socialism and ecologism.Market freedom is leading us to a complete disaster

Answer 4

Because the democrats call socialism "Progressive" The fact is freer countries are better off financially than non free countries. When America is in a growth spurt we outstrip the growth of all other countries. Many countries suffer when America suffers.

Liberal (oops Progressive) ideas are based on the same Fascist ideas that they accuse the Republicans of being.

Socialism and Communism are only good at spreading misery equally. Thats why there are more immigrants coming legally to the US every year than all the Immigration of all other countries combined. We offer opportunities they cannot get anywhere else, even if it means a doctor has to drive a taxi till he can get licensed in the US.

Oh, and Ireland, your GDP is 31st not 2nd.

Answer 5

Because they no longer have a moral compass.They feel that instead of working hard to become something better for themselves,their families and their country,they would rather sit back and let the government take care of them.Socialism breeds weakness and the weaker the people the more government control.The more control,the less the socialist government has to listen to what the people have to say.A good example of this is how the democratic congress has said no matter what the American people say,they drill to make us independent of foreign oil.Most of the young people on Obamas band wagon don't know the the first thing about politics,they're one sided like the politicians they are voting for.Liberals are elitists and don't care for any other viewpoint but their own,Their angle is it's my way or no way.The big talk of change is just that,change from democracy to socialism,and once it takes a bite,it"s hard to shake it loose.I for one, will fight for my right to live FREE!

Answer 6

I don't think people are trying to turn American into a "Socialist" country but are considering some social programs to help our floundering economy. Would it really be so bad to pay a little extra so that we can have universal health-care?

Also what makes you think we'd have more of our rights restricted if Obama became President? The Republicans have been trying to curtail personal freedoms and restrict liberties for at least the past 8 years,

Answer 7

You have to have a good understanding of systems of government and their impact on the people, or experience with socialist states in order to really understand what is going on here.  Those two requirements above do not pertain to the masses that support Obama, and I do hear a lot of supporters espouse a like of either his appearance or race (i.e., they are not smart people).

On the surface it sounds all good though, free health care (even though the rich are paying for it).  He wants to end wars and create prosperity (lol, prosperity, I've never seen prosperity created from increased spending).  If Obama gets elected, Americans will have to learn from their mistake and not fall for pretty speeches that don't hold a candle to reality.  I only hope it's not too late if he succeeds in making us a socialist country.

Forget War, Buy More: wait ten years and tell me how the EU is doing.  The cost to maintain their society is going to cripple them, just you watch.

Answer 8

I live in Ireland, a left leaning and socialist country to Americans. And yet we have the second highest GDP in the world.

Answer 9

Because voters will not become educated and find out which candidate is from which ideology and why Communism/Socialism doesn't work and robs us of our Liberty.  

Answer 10

Because some are convinced that freedom isnt worth it.  The EU and Canadian grass is always greener.  The fact is that some people think they know everything.  And sadly they have the right to vote, but not the courage of their convictions to emigrate.

Answer 11

If you look closely there are at least half of the voters in the US who are not willing to turn the US Government over to Obama.

Answer 12

Really?  Because the EU seems to be working fine and the Euro is stronger than ours.  Most Eastern European nations have what we would define as socialist governments.
