that when you talk to a freeper they are like well Obama is a socialist or is this or that and then you tell them the truth that bailing out the banks etc is socialism. They always say something like " Oh Paulson is an idiot" always throwing their own party members under the bus?

2. It's the "But Clinton..." mindset
They generally don't have the brains to back any of their arguments, since they don't really understand the issues.

Hell even McCain does it: "But Ayers..." "But Spread the wealth..."

I can't listen to him even for the comedy aspect anymore.
