The Presidents

[tjlemke]

So just because I LOVE this question, which of the United States' Presidents is your favorite? I understand that some of you are not American but if you know of any President, put them down for the hell of it (lets keep it to American Presidents though; no prime minister or others please, no matter how awesome Winston Churchill is ).

So here's the rules, or to some of you, guidelines.

1. List your top five favorite presidents.

2. If you want to, explain why you like them.

3. Who should be taken off the Rush Mountmore monument and who should be added (US Presidents please).

4. Whatever the hell else you gotta add in.

I'll add my choices later; im tired right now.

Teddy Roosevelt.

George Washington!!!!

But what about the shadow president?

Typical american US-centric arrogance!
Did it ever came to your mind that there are many people from outside of the US here who don?t give a flying fuck about your presidents? What if I ask who is your favorite german chancellor? Sheesh. I think I make such a topic just out of spite.

To answer your silly question:
William Henry Harrison - Because he was gone in 30 days.
and
Richard Milhous Nixon - Because he was an evil bastard.

Meh, Nixon was a saint compared to Bush/Cheney. Oh, well.

Can't go wrong with Clinton he was a slick bastard but he kept the peace.

Why the fuck anyone cares about what he did in private, I don't know.

Oh, well, it's part of the puritan aspect of America. Lots of idiots all obsessed with private... privates to the point of letting people get sick from lack of health care or die of unregulated polution or the like. As long as they can pretend to be sexually repressed and holier than thou, who cares if Americans are dying over unregulated industry? Meanwhile, so many politicians who pretend to care about family values are really sluts, whores, and closeted gays (nothing wrong with being gay or bi, but there's something wrong with being hypocritical about it!).

People need to grow up and refocus their attention on imporatant issues rather than who's got fake family values.

That hits the nail on the head right there. The Republican law makers have been trying to convince the religious right they the only party that represents them. They lie and cover up their lies so many times that they have no choice but to keep all that secret. You have them molesting young male interns, going on sexual rendezvous in other countries, and meeting men in airport bathrooms only to be found out and show the people who they really are....

Just another pervert like the rest of us!!
