Probably not, but it's in our Constitution that he can't, anyway. Go 22nd Amendment!

Okay. You're not okay if Bush does it, but Chavez who is buddy buddy with commies and mullahs is okay with you. Do you like those buys more than Americans or do you think Bush is more evil or what?

I'm not OK with it, but I'm not a Venezuelan. If a signifigant portion of his country is against it, we could just do what we always do and fund rebels. As it is, he's still selling us oil. Socialism doesn't really matter anymore, in the big picture. One of his major talking points is the embargo on Cuba, and I think if we ended that, we could hasten the fall of Communism there. Nothing kills Communism like capitalism.

I don't think Bush is evil, I just think he's an exceptionally mediocre commander in chief. Bush was democratically elected, and I respect him as our president. As a citizen though, I have the right to disagree with him, and I do so adamantly and often. Politics isn't about good and evil, it's about effectiveness and impact.

Very good reply. I agree with a few of your points and about capitalism kills communism. Now I know you are not part of the unhinged moonbat left, but a sensible thinking person.

I already told you I'm a libertarian, not a liberal.

You don't think it is evil to start an unnecessary war that kills innocent civilians? Or do you feel the Iraq war was necessary?

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I think the Iraq war was an entirely bad idea which has resulted in us hemmorhaging money into the Middle East. However, his move was a political one.

Was FDR evil because he rounded up all of the Japanese people on the west coast and forced them into internment camps?

Yes, I do think it was pretty evil. Generalizing a whole people like that is never a good idea.
