> Churchill wouldn’t have let England be swarmed under a flood of illegal immigrants.
He had his own moments of really arguable domestic performance — like the General Strike of 1926 and the Sidney St Seige and the Tonypandy Riot. And I’ve already mentioned the Dardanelles fiasco.
We don’t know what he would have done about the Mexican illegal alien situation because he was never put in that position.
We *do* know that he wasn’t the arch-Conservative Icon all of his political career that we’d like to think he was.
His performance during WW-II was certainly masterful. Before that, and after that, it was so-so, and sometimes pretty awful.
> Again, terrible analogy.
Time will tell. On McCain’s performance-to-date, it tracks along quite nicely with Churchill’s pre-WW-II performance. Both served, both were POWs, both had political careers, both straddled either side of Center, and both had wobbly bits that would infuriate the Conservatives...
...no, I’d say it’s a brilliant analogy. Could even prove to be Prophetic, depending on how McCain does if he is ever made POTUS.
You clearly disagree — I’d be curious to see how.
I LOVE your analogy and do pray, earnestly, that it will come to pass. You have given me some hope.
