First, I it's completely false to say Hitler was elected by "the overwhelming
majority of Germans".  In the last election, the Nazis got about a third
of the votes cast.  A worse showing even than McGovern.  Or Mondale.

And I didn't say it was silly to oppose Reagan because people support him.
I said it would be silly to expect Meese to oppose Reagan, especially given
the fact that people support him.  

Oh, well.
