    The Scandinavian countries are pretty socialist

    although they're less so now, ever since businesses realized that the tax structure there meant they actually lost money after making a certain amount of profit

    and libertarians are for almost no government involvement whatsoever, so I don't see how that's not far right.

    socialism always fails
    the scandinaviaian countries seem to be doing rather well though

    that's because they aren't socialist but sure thing
    they're about as socialist as most countries come, brodysseus

    yes that is why there is rampant capitalist companies with freedom of choice in career with little government controls on production
    i think you're erring to the extreme version of socialism

    you forgettin about the third way or what

    edit whoops third not middle

    that's socialized democracy, which is completely different and actually works even though they lose out on a lot of businesses due to the excess tax burden

    how is it completely different if its using a lot of the major aspects of socialism, pip

    because it does not use the major defining aspect of socialism, being government controlling the means of production

    this is turning into a semantics argument now

    they're incredibly socialist countries compared to most of the world how does that sound

    that is accurate

    So is there any media around that doesn't have a blatant agenda this election?

    I just read an article in Newsweek that was supposed to be about Hillary Clinton's experience as First Lady and it was basically a bunch of people calling her a bitch.

    And now cnn.com has projected Obama as the winner in North Carolina with 11% of the precincts reporting, but Clinton's ahead in in Indiana with 47% reported, yet there's no projected winner.

    Although to be fair, the gap is a lot larger in North Carolina. But still.

    cnn.com made that projection based off exit polls. it was projected when the polls closed, with 0% reporting.

    meanwhile, exit polls out of indiana don't suggest a strong enough trend to project it based off that info alone. and if they haven't called it yet, it's probably because exit polls suggest Obama will do well in areas that haven't reported yet.

    Well, in that case, they should label it "projected winner based on exit polls" or something.

    It just seems shady to me. Not that I doubt Obama will win NC, it just strikes me as a little too eager to declare it on the part of CNN.

    if you want to learn more about it, there's a link at the bottom of the page called 'How CNN projects winners'

    you should read it. it's about how CNN projects winners
