I agree with McGentrix on this Hitler thing. I don't understand the comparison either. Hitler was absolutely NOT a talking chimp, from all that I've heard.

What, would you prefer Stalin?


What would I prefer? I would prefer a passing joke by the president not being translated into "Bush would LIKE to be Hitler."

That's what I would prefer...

GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENT-ELECT: I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

Question Question Question Question


Yeah, where does Hitler fit in? Is he the only dictator you guys can come up with?



do you think that it's appropriate for the president of the united states to ever say that his job would be easier if he was the dictator ?

Yes, I do. Especially in the context that he said it.

"I told all four (leaders of congress) that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

Do you believe it's appropriate to continuously compare Bush to Hitler? An evil dictator responsible for the deaths of millions?

You are right McG. Bush is only responsible for thousands.

Seems that McG is speechless. Best not to say anything when the truth is staring you in the face.

I'm going to toss a small flower onto the stage here for McG. As party-glued as he is, in those cases where his opinion differs from the typical party or conservative consensus, he has the forthrightness to express this openly. He and I have managed more than a few fine discussions as a consequence.

PD

Did you watch the speech? It was really a zero, or seemed so to me. What is you reading on what Rove and crowd are thinking?

But at the current exchange rate, it's only 6/10ths of the truth.

Is that like a white lie?

The speech probably was the best Bush could do inder the circumstances.

He needs to get people thinking about US vs THEM, and stop concentrating on the little tricks and lies which got us involved in the first place.

No mention of WMD's. The fighters in Iraq are described as having the same philosophy as bin Laden-which is a neat way to come close to saying Iraq is responsible for 9/11 without actually saying it.

It's an appeal to the emotions. I think it will get him a brief bump in the polls, but as the bad news multiplies, I think it will be forgotten quickly.
