Hardly. He is a moderate.

But he was damned sure a better choice nonetheless, than that Marxist
Kerry.


What is a Marxist? You're a very smart person. I want to learn from you.


LOL. Anyone who disagrees with gunner that God talks to the little shrub
named George W. is a marxist.

Seriously, I think Gunner's a very smart person, and I'm glad he's insulted
me in earlier messages because I'm not worthy to comment on politics or
American history. After he tells me what a Marxist is, I want him to tell me
what a socialist is, because very smart people in other newsgroups say Al
Gore is a socialist.


Doug, you seem to know so little. Why not just go to the other newsgroups
with all the smart people and ask them?

No. I like it here. Others here, like PatBert, like to toss around words
like "socialist" & "Marxist", but I can never get them to explain what those
words mean. Since Gunner is one of the smartest people here, I'm hoping
he'll bless me with an explanation, in his own words.

I want Gunner's explanation, based on the context in which he uses the word.

Fits the description of a few posters on this NG. I think everyone here
knows who that is.



*Which* NG?
You are crossposting to five of them.
