I'm sorry, but Bush is a Psycho Nut job who would spit naked infants up on pikes lining the white house lawn if he thought it would give him more power.

Uh...that's all find and dandy, but I thought you said Bush was willing to hang babies on sticks to gain power. I asked what is that based on?
Iraq? Please. Even Clinton attacked Iraq, does that make him worst than Hitler?
There's a good possibility that Bush is voted out of office this year, if that happens...what happens to all of Bush's great and powerful..uh...power when he leaves? Does it transfer over to Kerry?

I dearly hope tha you are right that Bush will be out. And.. actualy yes, the power held by the president will be passed onto the next president.. thats what happens when you vote one person out and annother one in. What is important is nto the power itself but what one is willing to do with it.
Yes your right Clinton did attack Iraq with a few specific strikes.
What he did nto do was lie to the UN and his nation to put them into a constant state of fear so they would not question him
go against the advice of the world, invade a country under false pretenses, claim to be liberating a nation of people while killing a good number of them, plunging their country into chaos
I see you are in Maryland too.. you are yet one more reason I have got to move out of this state.

No, I read it. I'm just not seeing where Bush has gained all this extra power. Invading Iraq didn't gain him power, it just made him unpopular. Besides, no matter how he did it or how he used it, every president before him had the same power.

So how or what do you think Kerry will do with his Hitler-like power?

So it's ok to attack any country, just as long as it's with specific strikes. Go on.

He did lie to his nation. But you're right we weren't in a constant state of fear then and everyone questioned him. But now, we're-...hmm...I'm still not in a constant state of fear, and neither is anyone I know. And people constantly question Bush so.....I guess this statement doesn't appy to Bush either. No? Continue.

I don't get it. If you were in Alaska somewhere, this conversation would have never taken place? Or are you one of those people who are constantly moving away from or distancing themselves from people who don't agree with everything you say. If that's the case, you'll live a sad sad life my friend.

As for Bush vs. Hitler.... I'm no fan of Bush, but that's not even a stretch...that's insane...
You can hardly compare collateral damage from war, to the INTENTIONAL genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany. There's a big difference between women and children who die from an errant bomb, and those who die being herded into railcars like animals, stripped of their clothes and dignity, hair shaved to make wigs, and then gassed to death, with even their gold fillings plundered, and then mass creamated....
Bush is bad...no doubt...but Hitler was pure evil...the likes of which will hopefully never, ever be seen again....

No you fool, the power is not Hitler like, what one does or does not do with the power of the position that makes the differance. What will Kerry do? I dotn know I can't see the future, though I doubt he can do worse.
And if you dont see how invading Iraq ammong other actions, has enabled Bush to pass aditional laws to grant his supporters and thus him more power and money then you need to open your eyes.
Haiti and Kosovo.. what about them? Did I say Bush was the only one?
However since moving to Md I have seen far too much racisim, close minded fanatics, and an entire society that is more interested in dumbing down instead of taking a moment to enhance their lifes through a little free thought and effort. This area was described best to me by somone who called it an epidemic of narcicisim.

Funny how "the west" prefers calling them North Korea or DPRK instead of "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", in an attempt to declare NK as being against democracy.
I have to agree though that trough hard hand governing, Kim keeps a tight controll over the country and the democratic proces is faulted by it. But the US only has to do 1 thing to relieve that problem in a country that official IS a democracy.

The US is currently headed in a Nazi-style facism direction, but we are FAR from being there.

I may not like Bush, but comparin him to Hitler is just wrong. Hitler killed millions of people and carried out a genocide campaign against the jews. Bush is nothing like Hitler was and never will be anything like Hitler.
Some will come in here and say the following:
"Bush can only dream to become like Hitler, hes not smart enough"
I bet ya noone will do it after I posted they would
Before you all go off on me. I do no support what Hitler did.
I will say however that Hitler did at least pull Germany out of a major post war depression, created the VW, and put millions of Germans back to work while reuniting a factured Germany after WWI. Course.. then he went nuts, and started rounding up Jews, Pols, Gypsys, invading countries, etc...
But at first he did a tremendous ammount of good for Germany. Which I am very sad to say is alot more than Bush has done for us.
Bush is like Hitler? In all the negitive aspects.. yes, I can see Bush going down that road.
Wraith.
So who is Bush's chosen race? Maybe he favors the illegals from Mexico since they are entering the US in record numbers.

I really don't like when people say stuff like "Hitler was a really smart man".
He was not smart at all, he was a total dumb idiot that was sick inside his head.
Bush may not have the intelligence to be fully capable to be a good president, he's not the pure evil that Hitler was.
The comparison is utterly dumb.
