Yes I did use Hitler.

I compared Bush's invasion of Iraq to Hitler's invasion of Poland.

Sorry if you are offended, bu IMHO the comparison is valid.

Both Hitler and Bush invaded sovereign countries without any provocation at all.

I am ashamed that our country invaded Iraq. Like most people, I hated Saddam, but we supported worse people than him (Papa Doc and Baby Doc in Haiti). And now, we have caused the death of more people than Saddam did, making us the terrorists. I'm so embarrassed. The American people deserve better than that.

Given that Saddam was a monster, we still had no right to invade the country. Iraq did not attack us. They were not attacking one of our treaty allies.

BUSH manufactured a WMD excuse. -- it was a lie. So the person who hijacked the Christians (who worship the Prince of Peace) did the following:

1) Ignored "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor" and manufactured the WMD story. And I repeat. Anybody who uses his/her brain should have known Saddam didn't have WMDs. After all, when we gave him the ultimatum to give them up or we will send the fiercest fighting force in the world into his country, if he really did have WMDs, he would have said, "Attack me and I'll nuke you." After all, at that point Saddam had nothing to lose. WMDs are best used as a deterrent. If I can figure that out, Bush's advisers certainly knew that.

2)He also ignored "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and has not only killed over 4,000 of our finest soldiers, but estimates from 100,000 to over 600,000 Iraq citizens. Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Sons and Daughters all of them. Not just numbers, but real people, real human beings, just like you and I. IMHO Bush is a mass murderer and should be brought to the world court and given a fair trial for war crimes.

3) Both Hitler and Bush approved the heinous act of torture and both Hitler and Bush spied on their own law-abiding citizens.

How can you NOT draw a parallel to Hitler's invasion of Poland? (which is how I used Adolph's name).

Both invaded a sovereign country without provocation and under false pretenses which resulted in the deaths of many innocent people.

As far as gas prices go, the Republicans nuked the Anti-Trust laws in Bush's term. The same laws that broke up Standard Oil who was price gouging at the time.

Now we have:

Exxon-Mobil-Esso = Standard oil

BP (British Petroleum) - Amoco (American Oil Company - which was sold as Standard in the midwest and also swallowed up Gulf). I knew a woman who worked for a BP station and got her paycheck from Standard Oil of Ohio. Therefore BP/Amoco = Standard Oil.

Texaco - Chevron = Standard Oil. When the Standard Oil stations of the Eastern US sold gas under the Standard Sign, the pumps said Chevron on them. Later they changed the signs.

Add to that that recently all the Shell stations turned into Texaco stations and all the Texaco stations turned into Shell stations. Do you really think two supposedly independent corporations, one supposedly owned by the Dutch could actually pull that off if the weren't both the same company?

So there we go. Circumstantial evidence that Exxon, Mobil, Esso, BP, Amoco, Texaco and Shell are all now Standard Oil. That makes it very easy to manipulate fuel prices to support a candidate who proposed huge tax savings if elected.

Remember, when Bush was up for re-election 4 years ago, the gas prices went down.

One more thing. Bush, McCain, and Palin ran on an anti-abortion ticket to get the Christian vote. As a male, I feel I have no right to have an opinion on abortion, because I cannot understand it from the woman's point of view -- that is unless the child is mine. Then it is up to the woman, myself and our priest or pastor, NOT up to a government guilty of mass-murder.

However, what I don't understand is how Bush got re-elected on that ticket and how many people voted for McCain/Palin on that ticket. After all, is that unborn fetus's life more important than >4,000 U.S. adult troops (Fathers, Mothers, Sons and Daughters) and the hundreds of thousands of Iraq people? My daughter is in the Air Force, and I'm here to tell you that her life is more important to me than all the unborn fetuses in the world.

The fact remains that Bush and the rest of the NeoCons are liars and hypocrites that have used propaganda to manipulate a very well meaning segment of our population -- and have used the goodness of those manipulated citizens to do evil deeds. IMHO Bush makes R.Nixon (another Republican) look like an amateur.

Sorry if that offends you, but it is my point of view.

I consider myself a Moderate and a Patriot. As a moderate patriot if I see our great country going the wrong way, killing innocent people, stealing from the public, lying, cheating, spying and torturing, then it is my duty to both speak out against them, and to cast my vote for the opposition party. And I did just that.

I assure you that I did so with the best interests of our country and all the citizens of that country (even those that disagree with me) as my motive.
