If Ghaddafi, El Assad, Mubarak, Saddam Hussein and Amadeenejad were Americans.. What political party do you think they would vote for?

They are religious fanatics who believe only their religion is right.
They believe that they are above the law.
They wont allow any laws or regulations that restrict their power
They go out of their way to proudly claim control of the military
They spend an excessive amount of the countries wealth on the military.
They are exceedingly wealthy
They restrict the ability of the poor to vote.
They speak in talking points
They don't believe in helping the poor.
They don't believe in national healthcare or food subsidies.
They would burn an oil well before turning it over to the people.
Any dissent is referred to as "anti-government".
They discredit the press every chance they can.
They torture.

Any similarities to a political party in the united states must be entirely coincidental. Right?
