He's another congenital liar who promised to keep the US out of a war. Notice a pattern here?You're just admitting that Roosevelt was elected under false pretenses. He campaigned on keeping the USA out of the war. He was lying from the get-go. Of course, Republicans already knew that, but Democrats are too fucking stupid to understand they were voting for a snake.FDR is the greatest President the United States ever had. He rescued the country from the Great Depression and then won World War II. He turned the United States from a strong country into a superpower.
horseshit, he extended the depression and started the move towards failed liberal policies. He is also indirectly responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor because he ignored the warnings that it was being planned by the Japanese. Actually Truman won WW2, not FDR. Truman dropped the bombs that saved millions of American and Japanese lives. Truman would be republican if he was alive today, so would Kennedy.

Truman and Kennedy would be Bush/McCain Republicans, but NOT Trump Republicans.
Roosevelt could not use the Atomic Bomb because it was not ready yet in April of 1945. Germany was only 3 weeks from surrender when Roosevelt died and Japan was only 4 months. It was Roosevelt who pushed for and did most of the work in developing the Atomic Bomb.
Roosevelt wanted to get involved in World War II from the start in 1939, but was held back by congress. 10s of millions of lives could have been saved if the United States had entered the war 2 and a half years earlier.
It was Woodrow Wilson who campaigned on keeping the United States out of war. There was NOTHING nearly as explicit as that in 1940 when Roosevelt ran for re-election. In fact, before the election, Roosevelt started the draft in September 1940 which would last until June 30, 1973.
Isolationist in America in 1940 were essentially supporting the Axis powers. Keeping America out of the war benefited the Axis.
"I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Boston, October 30 1939:
Pearl Harbor changed that.
Also, I'm up for a good laugh today, what is your evidence that FDR knew of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Additionally, public opinion in the late 30's up to Pearl Harbor had 80% of the American people oppositing entry into the European conflict. Any idiot can also look up the republic position during same time, and see nothing but isolationists.
