Are Republicans more socialist than Democrats?

Probably not, in any commonly used sense of the word and I don't think any raw numbers quite bear this out ... but!

If we use Medicaid and Social Security as barometers of a socialist system, we could argue Republicans are actually more socialist, because they so steadfastly insist such systems are untouchable, because the party is buoyed by old people who rely on those services. I suppose it could really be more selfish than socialist .... it just doesn't jive with their "earn it" motto?
