All this jabber about the socialism Barry will bring if he’s elected is more than a bit silly. He might bring more welfare programs, it’s true, but all he can do is add to what’s already here, and that’s plenty: Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. The sacrosanct Farm Subsidies that keep agribusiness, not family farmers, in the chips. What are they if not socialism, be it with a small or a capital s?
Nevertheless, for reasons of his radical politics, campaign donation fraud, and thuggish associates, I hope Barry loses today. I did my part this morning, voting straight Republican. Not that that’s likely to have any effect on liberal Dem Austin, or on Republican Texas, but it will help add to Mac’s popular vote total.
