Campaigning with Kansas legend Bob Dole on Tuesday, Sen. Pat Roberts warned attendees at a Dodge City event that the United States was on the path to national socialism.

Theres a palpable fear among Kansans all across the state that the America that we love and cherish will not be the same America for our kids and grandkids, and thats wrong, Roberts said, according to a video of the event posted on the YouTube account of the Democratic opposition research group American Bridge.

One of the reasons that Im running is to change that. Theres an easy way to do it. Ill let you figure it out. But at any rate, we have to change course because our country is headed for national socialism. Thats not right. Its changing our culture. Its changing what were all about.

The full name of Germanys Nazi Party was the National Socialist German Workers Party.

Roberts comments came as polls show independent Greg Orman leading by double digits and as the incumbent casts himself as more of a moderate to appeal to voters who are tired of Washington gridlock.

On one hand, Roberts appearance with Dole who was known for his moderate voting record and bipartisan deal-making as the former Senate GOP leader could send a reassuring signal to those centrist voters. But invoking socialism, a common line of attack against President Barack Obama and Democrats in 2012, is more likely to appeal to the conservative base.

A Hungarian-born billionaire, Thomas Peterffy, spent at least $8 million on ads in 2012 telling voters to support Republicans to escape socialism.
