The pollsters must have disguised socialism somehow.

The pollsters must have disguised socialism somehow.

"As I read a list of words and phrases, please tell me if you have a very favorable, mostly favorable, mostly UNfavorable, or very UNfavorable opinion of them. First, would you say your opinion of [socialism] is very favorable, mostly favorable, mostly UNfavorable, or very UNfavorable?"

Well, once reason Cantor got defeated by a Tea Partier was his support for using H-1Bs to keep wages low. I guess there's some socialism in why he was defeated.

No surprise. The right lost the USSR boogeyman.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Those damn, dirty commie teabaggers!

Socialism polls better among Tea Partiers than Obama does.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Well, most people think that "socialism" refers to free health care and roads--this is a consequence of the word being used to attack Obama. I unfortunately doubt most Americans would be on board with actual socialism just yet.

Favorable does not equal support.
