And if FDR was so bad, why did he get the country out of the great depression and get re-elected three times?
Well that little incident called World War II might have given the economy a boost, ya think? Seems like we might have taken a sucker punch at Pearl Harbor, just to get us involved, also. Nothing like allowing a sneak attack to fire up the masses, and push us into war, eh? Hmmmm...
FDR ran as the "peace" candidate in 1940, assuring the citizenry that "your sons will not be sent to die in foreign wars". All the while, his focus was on a way to draw us into the war.
There is "no" relationship between the ability to win elections and "greatness". The people are basically sheep, manipulated, and told what to think, how to vote, kept distracted from the real important issues, and with the designed "dumbing down" of the American education system, "you ain't seen nothing yet"! If you think the beauty contests we call elections offer you any real choices, you are deluding yourself. The policy and outcome is assured way before your token "vote".
Very few people actually read, and think, for themself. FDR was no friend of the "working man"... neither is any current leading politician. Worker bees are very expendable. Just put another "unit of production" in their place, hopefully at a lower cost per unit, too.
