I stand by my statement: McCain is no "socialist".

By your reasoning, it is fair to label nearly every single social or fiscal conservative a fascist. I suggest you actually meet a socialist or study the programmatic structure of "socialism" before resorting to incendiary statements about who is and who is not a "socialist".

We have been labeled such, and worse, for our stands and beliefs. And, since words mean things, we have to be careful to convey to our intended target populations what is and what is not factual and true about ourselves.

By your line of reasoning ignoring McCain's 26 year history in post #76 of agreeing with the socialist Democrats makes him a conservative.

And, since words mean things, we have to be careful to convey to our intended target populations what is and what is not factual and true about ourselves.

I've provided you with multiple sources in post #76 including specific information about McCain's socialist tendencies that you conveniently choose to ignore to reach an erroneous conclusion that somehow having an R after a candidate's automatically excludes him from being a socialist and makes him a conservative while you respond with vague and meaningless answers devoid of any specific credible evidence to refute my multiple sources. I suggest you heed your own advice.
