Only if the kids can hit you with them.

Here is a nice poll from MSNBC about this issue, the results seem to say that 70% or so think it will be biased ( feel free to vote while you are there, please )

I guess you dont listen much.... Obama's views and policies go hand and hand with a socialist government!

You don't know what that term means, so your complaints are meaningless.

The best for this is for Gwen Iffil to acknowledge to the audience that she has recently wrote a book about the topic and that it will not be out until inauguration day on '09. Plead mea culpa. This at the same time would promote her book.

It's been public knowledge that Iffil is writing this book long before both sides approved her as debate moderator. This is just another cheap attempt by the GOP to "work the refs."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Politics portal v • d • e Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.[1][2] Modern socialism originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution, it being the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.[3][4]
Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth into a small section of society who control capital, and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved.[1]
Socialism is not a discrete philosophy of fixed doctrine and program; its branches advocate a degree of social interventionism and economic rationalization, sometimes opposing each other. Another dividing feature of the socialist movement is the split on how a socialist economy should be established between the reformists and the revolutionaries. Some socialists advocate complete nationalization of the means of production, distribution, and exchange; while others advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy. Social democrats propose selectivemixed economies combined with tax-funded welfare programs nationalization of key national industries in ; Libertarian socialism (which includes Socialist Anarchism and Libertarian Marxism) rejects state control and ownership of the economy altogether and advocates direct collective ownership of the means of production via co-operative workers' councils and workplace democracy.
In the 1970s and the 1980s, Yugoslavian, Hungarian, Polish and Chinese Communists instituted various forms of market socialism combining co-operative and State ownership models with the free market exchange.[5] This is unlike the earlier theoretical market socialist proposal put forth by Oskar Lange in that it allows market forces, rather than central planners to guide production and exchange.[6] Anarcho-syndicalists, Luxemburgists (such as those in the Socialist Party USA) and some elements of the United States New Left favor decentralized collective ownership in the form of cooperatives or workers' councils.
