Poll shows that Democrats are more undecided on the issue, which is good, as Socialism is really a boogie man topic that mainstream media does not cover accurately at all. Republicans just eat up the propaganda.

As long as republicans continue to pass just as many socialist spending measures as democrats, I don't see how they can justify demonizing it. Just because you're spending the money on 'conservative' interests rather than 'liberal' ones doesn't make it any less socialist...

Indeed.
Agricultural subsidies, public law enforcement, customs and border patrol, and "defense" spending is just socialism of a different colour.

Defense spending is a giant socialist jobs program.

Maybe some day you conservatives will learn the nuances of socialism instead of using the term as a tool to paint anything as "bad" that isn't even related to socialism.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

In other words : My spending is good. Your spending is bad.
Tax cuts for the working class is "wealth redistribution". Tax cuts for the wealthy magically pay for themselves :-)
Controlling the airwaves via the FCC is protecting the children. But when "liberals" speak with their spending power it is pcism.
The modern conservative is a joke
