ok, i get what you are saying. don't agree.

the only thing i can extrapolate from this is that you are the type of person who wants things to remain exactly as they are. i.e. "things are fine right now, it ain't broke, so don't go a fixin' it."

i'm not referencing an example such as helms voting against civil rights. its perfectly logical to compare the two campaigns.

so, if a candidate had their competition "eliminated" sometime in the past 100 years, it would be "okay" for one to do it present day?

the real question is whether or not you thought it was wrong of FDR.

i don't know FDR. i've never worked with FDR. i never even voted for FDR. but i can tell you without question, George W. Bush is no FDR.

my point is that the world was an enormously different place
way back when. i'm sure we could spend all week drudging up
stuff from by-gone eras to attempt to "support" our points,
but for the most part it is all useless.

it is the past. let it go. we are expected to be a much
more sophisticated group of individuals these days (like it
or not) and trying to win arguments with "Well, this is how
Jesus did it." or "This is how FDR did it." holds no water.

that bucket is broke.

what? i don't get your point.
this campaign button is precisely the same as the bush ads.
is this button heinous, disgusting, trampling of victims for political
gain?

so, are we back to 1940? should we take away voting rights from
Blacks and women now? is regression the best possible path from here?

progress happens. either learn to adapt or get crushed in its path.

it's an interesting focus. blocking official investigations into
what the upper levels of the administration knew (or didn't know)
prior to the attacks?

I feel pretty confident the Roosevelt administration would have
blocked what was known about Japan two and half years after Pearl
Harbor.

Speaking of FDR. Is this heinous? Is this cheap political gain?
