Andy9o8 2 #27 March 15, 2006 Gotta disagree with you re: FDR. I don't have time to get long-winded right now; but in a nutshell, I think FDR's principles and his administration's policies marked a major turning point on the path toward transforming the US into a noticeably more humane society.

Lucky... 0 #29 March 15, 2006 Quote With 119 votes counted, George W. "Dubya" Bush holds a commanding lead with twice as many votes as all other post Depression presidents combined. Well at least there's one thing he does well at: sucking. He's the best example of a piss-poor example since Hoover, possibly ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky... 0 #31 March 15, 2006 QuoteIn a recent poll, more than 50% of americans think Bush should be impeached for violations of the fourth amendment. So the sentiment isn't confined to this board. Where's our Ken Star? It will be a weird time in history if he is impeached. There have been more presidential assassinations than there have been impeachments. If he gets impeached the next president will feel as if he/she is wearing a target. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #32 March 15, 2006 QuoteThere has bene some great explanations for people's choices. I am still waiting for people to come up with a reasoning for naming Clinton as the worst president. I can see the point of view of the other's....just would like to hear an argument for that choice. Closet voters. Some people don't like the 1st annual budget surplus in 40 years. They don't like some of the lowest unemployment and overall content attitude amongst the people since WWII. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #33 March 15, 2006 QuoteI voted W because he is running the country like it is his own personal belonging. He doesn't OWN the country - he is supposed to be administering, not operating for personal gain. Abortion is a great example. Even though roughly 3 out of 4 citizens think abortion should be legal, he is doing everything he can to enable the anti-abortion foes to make it illegal. Also, his actions based on religious conviction are only one-step short of the Reagan's consulting an Astrologer. Reagan comes in a close 2nd also for thinking launched nukes could be recalled. Can you believe we had an Alzheimers patient with his finger on the button, who thought the missles could be recalled?! Why don't more people see that the conservative accumulation-of-wealth wackos are just as dangerous as the liberal whirled-peas wackos? He saw it on a Bugs Bunny cartoon just as he was soiling his diaper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I the absence of something unbelievably egregious, a president isn't going to get impeached unless he/she is in the opposing party to the majority party in the House of Representatives. Nixon's (impending) impeachment (he resigned before it went to the full chamber for a vote), and possibly even the Watergate Committee's existence, probably wouldn't have happened had the GOP been in majority in the House. Clinton's impeachment most certainly would never have occurred had the Dems been in the majority in the House. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ROFL....this reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skit where Reagan had 2 buttons next to his hospital bed: "Nurse" and "Nukes". He went to summon the nurse, pressed "nukes" - then cutaway to footage of nuclear mushroom cloud.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
