SOCIALISM!!!11!!!1

Mark Souder sees Reds everywhere:

Congressmen Mark Souder says he can’t vote for a bill that would allow the government to take an ownership stake.

“I want to help GM, Ford, and Chrysler,” said Souder. “But I don’t want the government becoming an actual business partner in the companies.”

Supporters scrabble to find support across the isle to prevent an expected filibuster. Between a dozen and 15 GOP votes are expected needed to prevent this.

Souder says if the rescue plan is written and passed with the government taking a stake in the auto industry he would consider that “going down the road to socialism.”
I assume Congressman Souder will now be speaking out and voting against farm subsidies. We don't want to go down that "road to socialism", do we?

Anyone could buy a majority interest in GM for roughly $1 Billion. Is Mark Souder suggesting we should buy the company 25 times over and not have a say in how it's run?
