"Hitler? Oh so now Bush is Hitler." That wasn't my point. My point was that a popular leader -- and Bush appears to have won the popular vote -- is not necessarily a good, worthy leader. I think the emerging flaw in our democratic process is that the process itself is causing this country to have to consistently choose between two deeply flawed candidates.
"I would get the hell out and stop talking about it." That sounds a lot like "America -- love it or leave it," a narrow-minded view that fails, nay refuses, to understand that criticism in vital to the democratic process. Jonathan A.

Oh so now Bush is Hitler. That's an intelligent thing to say. If I were you and I believed that, I would get the hell out and stop talking about it.
