O‘Reilly Asks Romney if Obama Is ’a Socialist’ & He Says…

"Is he a socialist?” asks FOX News’s blunt television host Bill O’Reilly.

“I prefer to use the term that ‘he’s just over his head,’” the former governor of Massachusetts responds with what he must have thought was a safe answer.

“Yeah, but you gotta’ look at his economic plan, and that economic plan was top down, federal leadership getting us out of the recession — we spent trillions of dollars–and people say, ‘Listen, the guy’s a socialist!‘ It’s class warfare; that‘s what he’s going to wage against you if you get the nomination,” O’Reilly says, gesturing towards Romney.

“You’re a rich guy, you’re out of touch,” the host adds.

Concluding his prediction that Romney should prepare for “class warfare” should he earn the GOP nomination, Bill O’Reilly repeats the question.

“Is he a socialist?”

“You know, I consider him a ‘big government’ liberal democrat. I think as you look at his policies, you conclude that he thinks Europe got it right and we got it wrong,” Romney answered, again avoiding the question.

“I think Europe got it wrong. I think Europe is not working in Europe and I’ll battle him on that day in and day out,” Romney added.

Yeah, I guess you’re right “at least you know what you are getting”

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA AGAIN if you vote 3rd party.

It is amazing that we call him a communist without reservation, and the president laughs and calls this characterization absurd.

This president grew up in a communist country learning the values that he now implements here. You can't undo what you learn from the age of 5 to 10. It is like asking someone to tie their shoes with a different knot. Like cement setting, the president became a communist between 1965 and 1970. It's just what he is.

I agree that we should vote for the most conservative candidate possible - in the primary. Any vote for someone other than the Republican nominee, in the General election - even if Romney - is the same as a vote for Obama. I can’t stomach that.

The quote is not completely accure...Romney replied when asked if Obama is a socialist by saying "I don't want to call anyone names....."
To Romney, if you call some one a socialist it's not identifying their political ideology but rather its name calling! Just like McCain...a panderer reaching across the aisle!!

within hours, Romney would have been labeled a “racist”, and Romney would wet his pants...

He might as well get that out of the way early. Obama really has two cards. The Mormon card and the race card. He (or rather his surrogates) will use both if Romney is the candidate.

No matter who you like and who crawls out from under the dog pile, the PROCESS is valuable, because many of the will make comments that a large part of the voting public will NEVER see anywhere but during one of these so-called “debates”.

What they are I don’t know, but they sure as he!! don’t resemble any debate process I was exposed to in high school or college!

No offense intended, after reviewing your post, I may have clicked on the wrong comment to reply to, but was trying to underscore the fact that the fanatical attitudes expressed on FR for or against ANY given candidate MUST at the end be put aside in order to achieve the ONLY real goal we have - firing Obee and his band of criminals, loonies and idiots.

Any talk of third party or write-ins is __________ (pick any negative adjective (eg dumb, counterproductive, suicidal, etc etc)

You said it before I did. You nailed it....Romney is the same as Obama, A SOCIALIST!-—but worse-—he lies more, if that can be possible.

Actually, I think they are both pure Marxists-—because they also deny God and Natural Law-—and want to force laws to make children think sodomy is good and the Bible is hate speech. They are forcing the Atheist paradigm on our military and in our society and schools—when our Natural Rights come from God. It is really sick and will totally transform this once Christian nation and remove God and our Natural Rights.
