Dick Santorum - "Via socialism, Obama is leading the USA towards fascism"
Work this one out...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/08/primary-elections-2012_n_859037.html

Rick Santorum, a possible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, even raised the specter of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Italy in a speech here Friday night while explaining why his grandfather emigrated to the U.S. His uncle, he said, “used to get up in a brown shirt and march and be told how to be a good little fascist.”

“I don’t know, maybe they called it early pre-K or something like that, that the government sponsored to get your children in there so they can indoctrinate them,” Santorum said.


Then there's the claims of a perpetual welfare state made by various other members of the GOP elite. Obama is the most extreme, far flung socialist ever!

2. I would really love for someone to ask him to explain exactly how O bama is doing this.
I would also like him to define fascism.

12. if you look at the infamous photo of him with his kids, I don't think even they would join:
I just realized who Santorum reminds me of: John Lithgow's Arthur Mitchell character on Dexter (only without the balls to actually kill people).

13. Until some of these candidates get a little education, they might
be better off not opening their mouths.

If he knew the basics he could not make that statement.

16. Socialism & fascism are two totally different things, aren't they?
One is a form of government where there's a dictator (fascism), and the other is a system of operating any number of different types of government where the wealth is distributed to all, according to need. ???? I looked this up long ago, but maybe I've forgotten.

Dictators are not usually socialists, are they? They're about strong executive government (themselves!).

Both things try to prevent aristocracies, though, which I guess is what you could call some Republicans.

17. They toss around words like "socialism" and "communism"
without even understanding what they mean.
