There is no more frightening word in the American English lexicon than the word ‘socialism.’ Socialism destroys freedom. Under a socialist system, all color will be drained from life.

The commercial intertwines footage of Gov. Brewer’s disastrous debate performance in the 2010 elections with an overview of how the GOP is attacking workers in the state.
