The only potential dictators are those who would implement policies that would disarm the citizen, impoverish our economy, and force citizens to depend on government for solutions.

John F'n Kerry.

Sounds as though Bill just needed more hugs from Mommy growing up.

These idiots are really National Socialists (NAZIs) aren't they? Sure sounds like it to me.

Hey Bill Van Auken, how's the view from inside the psycho ward at Bellevue Hospital? I hear you can see the East River. Let us know when you are released, so we can arrange for your re-arrest.

And this viewpoint is different than the mainstream democrats--Michael Moore, Terry McAuliffe, etc.--how?

That's right...it isn't.

If there are two Americas for kerry and his flip/flops, then there is a 3rd dimension that this nutcake (Bill Van Auken, SEP presidential candidate) lives in.

And that includes those that would misuse FBI files, leave a trail of Arkancide in their wake, and treat the use of military as a distraction for America instead of our defence.

[ The Republican convention and the specter of dictatorship ]

Course Bill Van Auken means a monarchy dictatorship and not a dictatorship of the proletariat... its not that Bill is against dictorships just the kind of dictatorship...

Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Poor Billy. Doesn't know the difference of inside from outside. Or he doesn't know the difference of New York from Boston.

He's describing to a "t" the garbage that went on OUTSIDE MSG and INSIDE the Fleet Center.

So many liberal Democrats echo the world socialists. It's as if they're one in the same. ;^)

Oh good grief! I should never read tripe like this sober.

Looks like we're on the right track, then, eh?

I could easily waste an hour comparing and contrasting this guy's statements with reality, but I've got other things to do. :-) But I can't resist one:

the September 11 terrorist attacks - which occurred when Bush himself was commander-in-chief and thus responsible for the security breaches which made the attacks possible

Faulty, faulty reasoning. He ignores the continual predilection of the Clinton administration, which treated WTC1, Khobar Towers, the Cole, etc. as law enforcement issues and thus emboldened AQ to prepare its sleepers for 9-11. By the time the President was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2001, they were already in place.

I wonder when his visa to Earth expires and he has to return to Pluto.

You left one out:
