I think Romero's inclination to put political subtext into him films is pretty blatant. I think he wanted to make a scary picture, but by adding some social context, there was more to linger in the viewer's mind afterward. I think his most common and best loved theme is the inability for people to co-operate and communicate. maybe he's postulating that the only way humans could ever co-exist peacefully is if they were chiseled down to a common objective (in this case, living flesh). i don't think he means to SAY anything, he's just showing the situations that arise in the social arena.
