"Spreading freedom and Democracy throughout the world"
Does anyone else find this statement used by * in the debates as well as his stump speech scary? Is he projecting his PNAC plans out in the open? Or is it just patriotic arm waving?

This guy scares me.

1. Just as much as "Freedom is on the March"
Brings to mind images of Nazis somehow.

2. That;'s exactly what I thought when I heard that. Yes, it scares me
a lot. But why can't so many others see that.

7. I agree totally, this guy is so convinced he will win,
he is already laying out his second term agenda. He really thinks he is fueled by God.

3. I vote for
"projecting his PNAC plans out in the open," and he hoping the average American doesn't have a clue what he is talking about.

5. Armies of compassion
There is something truly Orwellian about that phrase. I wonder if they report to the ministry of love?

8. I'm offended
I'm offended by that remark on Spain's socialist govt.
Or do you want a right wing regime? Their govt is a least democratic.
I have many friends in Spain that have a good democratic life, with health care, retirement, 30 day vacations, etc. and a free enterprise system.


Don't get hung up on labels or the next thing you know you might be on the right bank as smirky said.

9. The sad thing is...
They're doing just the opposite. We're the ones spreading democracy.
