Fortunate that proponents of the "big tent" theory would use it to justify the inclusion of politicians like Rudolph Giuliani, Arlen Specter, George Pataki, Jim Jeffords, John McCain, etc. in a supposedly center-right political party, but absolutely refuses to include someone who hates Israel and respects Adolph Hitler.

Well, I can see where your sympathies lie.

BTW, I also have a great deal of respect of Adolf Hitler. That's not to say that I wouldn't shoot the man, or that I don't bitterly hope that he's rotting in hell, or that death camps aren't anything but pure evil, but he was a complete genius. He was a master of control and propaganda. He knew what he want, and he knew exactly how to get it. His visions of a eugenic national socialist utopia, however horrificly it was enacted, represent those of the only utopia that might actually have worked had we given it a fair chance (but thank God we didn't; ends do NOT justify the means).

I respect Adolf Hitler in much the same way that I respect Satan. Satan knows the Scriptures, he knows (as much as anyone can know) how God works, and he knows how to draw people away from God. He's a fascinating creature. So is the King Cobra. Even so, I wouldn't go within a hundred meters of a live one.
