Karl Marx would have been better than Wilson. At least Teddy would have sent troops to strangle communism in the cradle after entering the war on the wrong side so as to prevent the Germans from doing it afterwords. We know from Teddy's past performance he would not have been as bad as Wilson the destroyer of the civilized world.

[Commie Basher]

I don't see how Wilson "destroyed the civilized world." He got the US into WWI (bad move) and founded the Federal Reserve (I think that's a bad more, though that's just what I heard, I don't claim to know enough myself about the subject). What else? Nothing. Yeah, Wilson had the idea for the League of Nations, but that never amounted to anything, so you can't really credit or blame it for anything.

What happened in Europe was mainly Europe's mess. It's unfair to put too much blame on any American.

[weikel]

Versailles was largely Wilson's doing. It was his pals behind the 16th, 17th, 18th( that got repealed) and 19th amendments and the Fed.

[Uncle Bill]

"If you think President Bush's tax cuts will save you money, guess again, ... the long-term spending increases in his new budget outnumber tax cuts by a ratio of 10 to 1."

"Showing gratitude for Bush's tax cuts is like thanking a pickpocket for returning $10 of the $100 he just stole,"

"This budget proves that Bush and his Republican colleagues are nothing more than political pickpockets – and that the American people are their unwitting victims."
