What is wrong with this man. I swear I wish I'd been born 50 years earlier. Then I wound not have to deal with all this crap. We have lost touch and have fallen out of grace with GOD. This can be the only explaination for this. I will try to be an optimist .But, I really think this country has gone down the sewer drain. Let this be a warning to any and all leftist communist or whoever else you are. I will be waiting with shotgun in hand to take out as many of you when the time comes. I’m not paranoid either, I just realize that there are subversive elements that have infiltrated this country and are up to taking down this country. I think Red Dawn may one day be realized.

Is he not allowed to call Bush a dictator?
Oh and why does everyone have to involve God?!?

**Wizzard~Of~Ozz** · March 23rd, 2003, 05:23 PM

Hmmm, let's see, Bush is currently or in the future will.

Take a country by force.
Put in 3 leaders for the newly seperated country.
Will tell the people of the country how to live.

Last I checked that's what a Dictator did. So how wrong is he?

I can see the announcements now, "People of Iraq, you are free from dictatorship, here are your new leaders live with it."

some things never change.

You actually sound very paranoid. Nader has the absolute right to criticize his government just as much as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and their ilk who would also take away our freedoms.

Yep. Nader calling Bush a dictator is the start of a communist revolution in America. Hrmm.

Nader's always been whack. Since when does what he say matter anyway?

shahani · March 23rd, 2003, 05:30 PM

Nader is a wacko for what he says. Mostly. Not always. But he does have the right to an opinion even if he dares to disagree with you.

I wonder how many people worldwide would agree with him, though.

I certainly don't.

Bush lacks the cunning and inherent evilness characteristic of a dictator. Bush is a lot of things but certainly not a dictator.

I believe Nader is still trying to figure out how he lost the presidential election.

**Chuckiechan** · March 23rd, 2003, 05:40 PM

It would scare me more if he supported Bush!!

Nader should stick to making college students hate corporate America and corvairs!

**skuz** · March 23rd, 2003, 05:46 PM

Many could disagree with the following, but I feel bad right now and that's my view.

Yes he is a dictator. Democracy has been changed since its "power to the people" root theory.

Once elected, the president, prime minister or whatever title says "you elected me, now shut your mouth and do what I say." The only time people are asked their opinion is once every 4 years.

That's how I feel it and that's why I don't think I will even bother voting on the Qc provincial election in April. No matter who wins, it'll be the same BS.

**foodbiz** · March 23rd, 2003, 05:57 PM

Well I understand his point...

The problems will only surface after the war

It's not just Ralph Nader. Michael Kinsley, who is hardly a loony, said in his Slate column this week,

In terms of the power he now claims, without significant challenge, George W. Bush is now the closest thing in a long time to dictator of the world.

**J-Excel** · March 23rd, 2003, 08:03 PM

Same could be said about any US president

**alondra** · March 23rd, 2003, 08:57 PM

I wrote this moron off when he said what a bunch of junk my Corvair Turbo Corsa was, and he didnt even drive a car. I loved that car.

**Chuckiechan** · March 23rd, 2003, 09:09 PM

Did Nader suggest any suitabe replacements for the USA? Someone is always on top...

**Gomer** · March 23rd, 2003, 09:13 PM

unrelated to dictarship... but didn't he call it a "deathtrap" Alondra?

**cracked** · March 23rd, 2003, 10:02 PM

you can look at it this way. as far as history has shown PURE democracy doesnt work. there is nothing wrong with being semi-dictatorish as long as you are a fair one. if bush is a so-called dictator, he is comparatively very fair to the people. saddam is a dictator but is he fair? or even considerate? nope...

Bush is not a dictator.

A dictator does not care for the peeple. Bush does. All the time. All his actions are with one eye towards next years elections. He is also very aware of the fact that a complete victory in Iraq will get him out of the economic mess that has been created here.

Bush also does not care for accumulating personal wealth. Dictators do.

To characterise Bush as a dictator is inaccurate. He just doesn't fit the profile. Does he look mean and dangerous?

**jokostel** · March 23rd, 2003, 10:35 PM

shahani:>> i think Bush may have an eye on the election next year.. but i highly doubt thats his main focus right now.. i just think he wants this Iraqi Freedom campain over quickly and clean as possible... Plus to finish the job his father started and shouldve finished(thanks to the good ol' UN)

Here is one for the one's calling Bush a Dictator and more can be found Here

**RedFury** · March 24th, 2003, 02:12 AM

ASFAIK, the plans are to remove Saddam and stabilize the country enough so that the Iraqi people can form a new gov't on their own. If anything, we'll be there to moderate.
