What Bush has tried to make of our nation, the same nation that destroyed Hitler and what he stood for, makes him worse than Hitler in my opinion. Hitler was certainly worse in how far he carried organized mass murder.

But aggressive imperialistic national socialists don’t always wear swastikas. The ones who wrap themselves in the American flag while destroying everything it stands for are, to me, WORSE THAN HITLER.

Thanks, G. That compliment makes up for everything.

In a nutshell, I believe that the Iraq War was justified, and was not waged for the benefit of Halliburton and the oil industry. I also believe that the President’s goal of a unified, democratic Iraq is no longer achievable, if indeed it ever was. The troop surge to secure Baghdad is the right thing to do, and General Petraeus is the right man for the job, but it’s probably too late. Rumsfeld’s “small footprint” postwar strategy was absolutely worth a shot, but the destruction of the Golden Mosque and subsequent outbreak of sectarian violence should have triggered an end to it. I fault him for stubbornness on that point. McCain called for more boots on the ground, and it looks like he was right. I’ve been a proponent of the Balkanization of Iraq for quite some time now, perhaps even before Biden called for what he’s been calling federalization. Unification is out the window, maybe they can reunify 15 or 20 years down the road.

Tyler, maybe you never liked Bush, fair enough, but “worse than Hitler” crosses the line. Now you’re just Jim Webb.

I supported McCain in Delaware in early 2000. I have never trusted or liked ANY of the Bushes or their politics. I have also met them personally and was most certainly not impressed otherwise.

Did you think I EVER supported this Bush’s assaults on the Constitution? his war? his banal henchmen? their Orwellian manipulations? their fear-mongering? Did you think I ever sat by silently?

Get real, G. There was no bandwagon in existence, certainly not this one to jump on, when I began railing against these people. I saw back in 2000 that this half-wit and his Machiavellian controllers would be the GOP’s undoing, for a good while, if not our country’s.

All this is why I have no fear stating my piece on a liberal blog or any other for that matter. I am happy to visit a place where others share my view about this epically pathetic scoundrel. They know I remain a Republican and I have taken plenty of heat for it. But I could give two turds about whether it makes me popular or unpopular.

You are so fucking full of shit. Your act is so played.

Insert conspiracy theory here.

As for Rove’s magic bullet e-mail, I’d look in Sandy Berger’s socks.
