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.

FDR has despicable positions on race and certainly Japanese internment. He was also far-left on economics.

I really can't understand why the right doesn't hate FDR.
