Ted, I hadn't responded to your post because I thought I had made my point clear in earlier posts. Dewey dropped the "Roosevelt Knew" issue from the 1944 campaign partly because of the war effort (and partly due to evidence presented to the contrary). Had the war already been over by then, Dewey would have probably been much more bold in his attacks.

The links I provided you were those to investigations of FDR.......FDR did not have the support you claimed. The Reps were after him like piranha on fish.......you saw the comment from Clare Luce....she was a Rep. Congressman. There was a conservative author of the time who sincerely complained that Hitler had no intentions of world domination; that FDR had made it all up so he could go to war. Times have changed but not the players. In fact, today's Dems were far more supportive of Bush than '40s Reps. were of FDR.

Oh, and btw, the only difference......FDR didn't say that Hitler had WMD and then, it turned out there weren't any. Big difference!
