Living in the US, I can honestly say that Bush is probably more of a dictator ;-)

Do Democrats hold no power? Did police prevent the exposure of his stealing of elections by pollsters and vote analysts? I think he is less of a dictator as yet, though one with much graver consequences for the entire world.

Did police prevent the exposure of his stealing of elections by pollsters and vote analysts?

Hah!  The situation is even more hopeless than that.  Even though the Dems hold no power, they completely support Bush (some - ahem, Hillary) I would even consider to be to the right of W.

And, yes, the DOJ is perfectly aware that the statistical probability of the vote outcome in Ohio is about like being struck by lightning in Moscow in January.  They didn't do anything.

Quite the opposite, MSM outlets constantly trumpet the truth of anything W says, no matter how outrageous.  I've lived in Russia and I can say that US propaganda is much more powerful and far-reaching than anything the Soviets ever achieved.  And the worst part is that it's voluntary on the part of the megacorps controlling the MSM!  They're not being forced to write this drivel, as the Soviet propagandists were.

They have several governors, and blocking minority in federal assemblies.

They didn't do anything.

They didn't prevent others from learning it either. OK, a few millions learning the truth didn't shake their power.

I can say that US propaganda is much more powerful and far-reaching than anything the Soviets ever achieved.

On that, fully agreed.

They're not being forced to write this drivel, as the Soviet propagandists were.

That's part of why they are so much more powerful: with 'communist' propaganda, we were always conditioned to try to read between the lines, but with US MSM propaganda, there is the myth of objectivity and independence and competition of opinions.

The Dems do not have a "blocking minority in federal assemblies".  You haven't been to DailyKos in a while have you?  There is constant bewailing of this fact there.

Of course they prevented others from learning about the voting fraud.  Ask any American on the street about it now.  You will get a stare even blanker than the one you would get if you asked them the mathematical significance of PI.  They'll ask if your tinfoil hat is on too tight.

The fact is that they are a token opposition, no different than that in Belorussia.
