You’re a better man than I am. But then, if Churchill could suck up to Stalin, I guess I can vote for Romney.


He never “sucked up” to Stalin. He got muscled by commie-sympathetic FDR into bad accommodations. Britain’s need for good relations with Washington trumped all.

But when Churchill ran for re-election, he directly opposed Stalin and the Soviets and made no bones about it; and of course it cost him the election with a war-weary population that still tends to worship Marxist types to this day.

In short, you won’t be sucking up to Romney. You’ll just be doing your level best to remove a communist from power in the USA. And that is God’s work. Do it. (Churchill would.)

I think you’re putting too fine a point on it. He did what he had to do to accommodate a very evil man during a time of pressing need, and based on my reading of his remembrances, Roosevelt had nothing to do with it. However, “suck up” is undoubtedly too harsh a term, since it implies obsequiousness. Whatever the case, I would have done the same, assuming I were as perspicacious as Churchill at the time.
