		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Peterrfy is either intentionally misstating the truth or doesn&#039;t really know what he is talking about.  Hungary was a communist country from 1956 until it became a socialist country in 1989.  So unless Mr. Peterffy is less than 23 years old (which he doesn&#039;t appear to be) he didn&#039;t grow up in a socialist country - he grew up in a communist one.  The problems of communism, primarily the lack of private property ownership, have nothing at all to do with the issues in this election since no candidate is advocating communism. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Indeed it was, Wingy. Meray&#039;s account shows the extent to which Nagy had been by-passed by events and then raced to catch up. He found himself in an impossible position...trying to reconcile the hopes and aspirations of the Hungarian people with the demands of the Soviets. He sided with his people...and he paid the ultimate price. 
 
Strange, the contrasts between the respective aftermaths of the Hungarian revolution in &#039;56 and the Czechoslovakian revolution 12 years later: Nagy was murdered and dumped in an unmarked grave, and was replaced by Janos Kadar, who instituted a relatively moderate version of communism that allowed for a degree of small-scale private enterprise (known as &#039;Goulash Communism&#039; for its uniquely Hungarian characteristics); In Czechoslovakia,  reformist leader Dubchek had his power stripped, but retained the formal position of President for another year until he was consigned to the quiet life of retirement, and was replaced with Gustav Husak, who - in spite of the mercy shown to his predecessor, instituted a hard-line, Stalinist regime. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hungarians have tried socialism - and fought against it. It ruined a prosperous country.  The ever so powerful Hungarian ingenuity was stopped dead in its tracks. No inventiveness, no improvements, just a crumbling infrastructure, ever advancing poverty, lack of freedom and happiness. It was a very dark era under the Russian boot.

		<description><![CDATA[I was in high school when Budapest fell, listening to it happen over short wave radio along with several escapees from Hungary.  They were students whose parents sent them here to relatives who lived across the street from my friend Cora.  
She and I were over there that day and actually heard the tanks rolling down the street and people screaming...

		<description><![CDATA[Thomas Peterffy ended his rousing condemnation of soci.alism with &quot;that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m voting Republican and putting this ad on television.&quot; He could have just as easily ended it with &quot;that&#039;s why I am eating Boston Cream Pie and having my legs waxed&quot; because that has the same amount of validity as a conclusion to his spiel as voting Republican. ]]></description>
