Righties Only: FDR v. Saddam Hussein

[Leinad]

I get what you're trying to do, but for these purposes FDR isn't the mirror to Reagan. The other poll wasn't about the right's admiration for Reagan, but the left's hatred of him, so the analogous Democrat wouldn't be someone the left admires, but someone the right hates--like Obama.

Of course, whatever the matchup is, violent dictators are still obviously bad.

Why are people actually responding to this poll seriously?

To show that the right wing here unlike the left wing won't choose a dictator (no matter if they are right or left) over an American president.

I still say FDR/Reagan isn't a very good analogy, since FDR isn't hated by the right like Reagan is by the left. Also Saddam/Fidel isn't the best of analogies either--can anyone seriously picture a prominent western politician praising Saddam Hussein like Trudeau praised Castro?

A better comparison would be something like Obama vs. Pinochet.
