I preferred winning WWII (whether with FDR or any other liberal), period. I suspect any conservative 'acceptable" to you would have lost us that battle, we'd all be speaking German, and then this debate would be moot.

Do you think HE would have lost us that battle???

BTW: was Ike a "true conservative" or not? I noticed you skipped over that reference to Franco and went right to FDR/Stalin. I'm not sure if Cannoneer was referring to it, but perhaps you know about Ike's "Pact of Madrid" (due to Spain's strategic location in light of Cold War tensions, the United States entered into this trade and military alliance with Spain's Franco, not known at the time for democratic reforms)? This historic alliance commenced in 1953 and launched the so-called "Spanish Miracle," which eventually developed Spain from autarky into capitalism. Why people cannot at least admit that is what we are trying to do in the Middle East (or offer some better plan if they have it) is beyond me.

I don't think Teddy would have refused Stalin as an ally, so no, I don't think he would have lost WWII either. You, I'm not so sure about.
To: Cannoneer No. 4
Agreed, and another issue the MSM keeps running with is this was the "President's" deal. Clueless!

To: Cannoneer No. 4
Are you catching all of this?
To: clawrence3
Well since Stalin was such a "valuable" ally,
I suppose you wouldn't have had any problems leasing operational control of our ports to him during the war.

I guess that's why you're changing it's name to the "R" party... That guess is about as good as your other stated beliefs on this page.
I call them the 'R' and 'D' party to save space and typing. Repeating 'Republican' over and over again just seemed like a waste, so I abbreviated. I'm surprised you thought of that as "revisionist doublespeak" . . . then again, you still refer to the 'control' of the ports, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised that you don't understand such things.
Now I have to describe myself as an America First! nationalist conservative.
Light on the 'conservative', obviously. Unless you can explain how it's 'conservative' for Congress to move to block a private business deal like this, in the case where there's no evidence of risk to our security.
Killing this deal was a clearly 'liberal' policy. The supporters of killing it have gone on and on here on FR about how this is just "greed" by trying to save a few bucks by "selling out to the arab muslims".
The policy was initiated by Schumer and Hilly.
"Conservative", you say? What then do you mean by that, if you supported such an expansion of govt power as this?
