Well, no matter how despicable you believe Romney to be, I’d like to think we agree that, employing your format:

Stalin is worse than Romney.

And, that’s why I objected.

The point I was trying to make is that Churchill was willing to make common cause with Stalin because he saw Hitler as an immediate, major threat to bring about the downfall of civilization.

At no point did Churchill ever delude himself that Stalin was a virtuous man. But he made a cool calculation that the evil of Stalin could be overcome in the long run, while the evil of Hitler could not.

And as we learned in 1989-91, he may well have been right.

What struck me as so totally incongruous was Tom Hoefling quoting Churchill, of all people, in behalf of Tom's philosophy of "100.00% total purity, or utter depravity....nothing in between!"
