Socialist is too gentle. It suggests he’d be happy to stop when our economy was just as overmanaged and unfree as Europe’s. I prefer the term ‘Marxist’ myself, as it suggests he wants to take us through socialism en route the his even more oppressive utopia. Certainly we’ve already seen his full bore authoritarian tendencies!
Shame on Mitt, but it’s no surprise to me at all. If only he could use the excuse of being dumb—he’s actually more malevolently calculating than that, I believe.
