    Cognitive dissonance is a factor to consider, as is the tendency of Tea Pottiers to PROJECT their own perceived bug-uglies onto innocent others. Faux news and the Republican manufacturers of the astroturf (non-grassroots) teabagging evangelical movement last summer first used Republican staffers (fake members) to block insurance reforms and health care legislation in Democrats' districts, catering to the more than 1200 fatcat lobbyists and preying upon people's ignorance and fears during this Republican-caused Depression-like Recession. Propaganda specialists (a.k.a., "spin doctors") like Frank Luntz, Karl Rove et al. convinced undereducated angry people to actually work against their own self-interests, swiping Libertarian Ron Paul's original movement's name "Tea Party" to get things going. Some of the teabagging evangelicals initially recruited or duped have already dropped out after realizing, much to their chagrin, that President Obama has CUT TAXES (they kept ranting about taxes in their GOP-scripted vitriol last year) as of April 1st, 2009 on 95% of Americans, that there are not now nor were there EVER any "death panels" or "rationing of health care" in the Democrats' plan, and that the Social Security many of these disgruntled teapartiers were drawing was, in fact, the "dreaded" government-run health care!

    A lot of us here on Yahoo!Answers kept shooting down the misguided and uninformed attacks on "socialism" when we consistently pointed out that many of the very systems upon which the American people rely are SOCIALIST: our U.S. military, highways and roadways, bridges and tunnels, our public schools and colleges, the VA medical system, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, libraries, our police and firefighters, and so on. Once the "McCarthyist" fear-mongering died a natural death, some of the Tea Potty people just stopped attending, stopped ranting, and went on back to their Social Security-drawing lifestyles. The HARDLINERS, i.e., the white supremacists, militias like the Hutaree and their ilk, or the right-wing religious fanatics (biblical literalists) will probably not admit the magnitude of their errors, but at least they will NOT be voted into power to further destroy this great nation that is now on the MEND thanks to President Obama and the Democrats in Congress and the House.

    ok .... I even have suggested this plenty .... and you will have self belief me as quickly as I say it by fact (shocker) i'm an American Communist, yep, member of a Communist social gathering, operator of a Communist internet site, 3 generations of union club, I even have an incredible uncle that makes use of his pension assessments to deliver a wreath to Lenin's grave each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days .... lower back, I even have suggested this plenty .... Obama is not any socialist. actual, i'm pretty ill of listening to Obama, a capitalist boot licker, being referred to as a Communist or a Socialist ..... a Communist is finest a materialist not a stinking starry eyed idealist (like Obama) that tricks the staff with eloquent speeches and B.S. supplies into thinking that collaboration with the bosses and bankers is the only thank you to make the country artwork ... Obama as a capitalist elite has no pastime in emancipating the working type from salary slavery .... in reality in case you ever watch the information all of his comments seem to reinforcing a fascistesque attitude of "type collaboration" wherein workers are forced to prop up their bosses with public money .... no Socialist ... not one .... might ever in one million years, ever, ever, provide away the money (seven hundred billion) of working human beings to the richest capitalist bankers for a bailout ... it incredibly is pretty plenty the perfect opposite of socialism. No socialist or communist that knows something approximately Marxism might ever help considered one of those guy as Obama, we don't prefer to be linked with him, we in no way have been and not in any respect will join his capitalist banker fueled schedule ... in end ... end calling Obama a communist or socialist, he's a liar and a showman, merely like all different baby-kisser, not extra useful or worse then George Bush... his pastime is to guard the pursuits of his type, the bankers in specific (merely seem in any respect the bankers he appointed to white living house positions), he's not a progressive .. ok, i'm not indignant at you or every person in specific .... possibly Glenn Beck or some thing .... and that i understand there is diverse confusion over the definitions and meanings of socialism and communism, so i published some hyperlinks below for extra examining. Arm yourselves with understanding.

    How can you have a communist republic? Tea partiers are not wrong, though I suspect you are clueless about tea tea party. Government is corrupt and overspending? I can prove it, can you prove it is not?

    Anyone who would state that Obama is a communist, Marxist, or socialist simply has no clue what they're talking about. It's as simple as that.

    There is no such thing as a communist republic, at least not in reality.

    The fact that you don't even know that "Communist Republic" is an oxymoron shows that you are...well...drop the "oxy", and you get the idea.
