Feb '13 tomtheterrible v Someone else I would select Harry Truman, unwanted by his own party, not a confidant of FDR, and a lonely common man in a world of intrigue and bad government. He brought some light and honesty into the White House and didn't cater to any group of elitists. "Give 'em Hell, Harry". After Theodore Roosevelt I feel he was the only president to speak his own mind and let you know exactly where your stood. B1 r1 reply Post

Feb '13 DogLady_1 v John Adams John Adams - Leader of the American Revolution and also made sure it had a happy ending. A proponent of fairness and justice. Some of my favorite quotes from Adams: "Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society." "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." "Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak." "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not c... Post
u Feb '13 Carl v Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson, of all the V.P.s listed, he was the only one who had a real grasp of how important the Constitution was and how dangerous a government we would inherit if we do not stand up to it and hold it accountable to the Constitution. People seem to forget the Constitution was written as and meant to define the limitations of the powers of the Federal Government. Yet we continue to allow this government to defy the Constitution, there will come a time when the Constitution will become meaningless. We continue to elect people who are willing to give us little trinkets for our votes and then abrogate our rights, what will we do when they decide to suspend the Con... r9 replies Post
Feb '13 dances-weebles the constitution also strictly limited the power of the people. not only that, but the constitution limited who could be called a citizen and who couldn't. the constitution that jefferson adhered to only allowed the university educated, and the landed gentry to be called 'people'. according to the constitution that he helped to write you and i were as nothing and we had no rights at all... whether you like it or not.

Feb '13 dances-weebles @Carl the u.s. constitution as it was originally drafted applied only to those who were qualified to be called citizens. the whole thing. women weren't citizens... they were property blacks were chattle indians weren't considered even human unless they paid federal taxes the poor were servants, not citizens debtors were prisoners and had no rights as citizens children were not people, they were considered 'encumbrances' or burdens to be born until they were 12 years old and could be hired out for gainful employment. the fact is, if the u.s. constitution were to be written in today's english it would be worded quite differently. it would say, 'a government...

u Feb '13 Carl @dances-weebles The key word in your reply is "drafted" I'm referring to the Constitution, the bill of Rights, the original ten amendments and articles incorporated into the final signed and ratified document. The one we currently hold as the supreme law of the land. Not a draft, not a document that was never ratified. Did any of what you are referring too make it into the current Constitution? I'll ask again, would you please direct me to the Article and/or Amendment your assertions can be found in. I've read through the Articles and Bill of Rights and never found anything you are referring too. Thomas Jefferson a member of the aristocracy and a slave owner, re... Post @Carl
Feb '13 dances-weebles @Carl okay, in your line of thought i used the incorrect word, but since 'to draft' something means 'to write' it... i guess that we can argue your semantics if you wish. and once again, the people that thomas jefferson referred to weren't the poor, or even the lower middle classed, but to the aristocracy... the only people who count when it comes to making educated decisions. may have recognised that there may arise the need to change the government, but he didn't foresee that it would be through peasant uprising, but only by the educated... the aristocracy.

u Feb '13 cwi530 @PoliticalSpice Why? Because of the hunting incident? 'Cmon now. It happens. The sun's coming up, the beer's gone, and he does kinda look like a big 'ol turkey...So you squeeze off shot...It happens. Post @cwi530
Feb '13 PoliticalSpice @cwi530 No, that hunting thing was fine, I only wish scalia had been there. Why: treason for putting american troops in harms way by launching a war based on lies; exposing the identity of a cia agent who was effectively combatting the spread of nuclear weapons; putting the profits of his friends ahead of the lives of u.s. soldiers; playing a role in eliminating the constitution. And that is just domestically. He should also be carted off to the Hauge pn charges of war crimes; plus yhe fact he didn't have the decency to die from heart trouble after he got our hopes up so early in his term!

u Feb '13 cwi530 @PoliticalSpice Wow! I didn't know VP's launch wars. I thought Congress does that...I'm pretty sure they all voted to send american troops into harms way. On the other hand, maybe they didn't know what they were voting for...Like Obamacare Post @cwi530

Feb '13 Ryuo v Someone else Aaron Burr, maybe. Not many VPs accomplished much, but you can't say that about Burr. Sure, you may argue, Burr accomplishments included a constitutional crisis, libel, killing a founding father, and possibly starting a treasonous conspiracy, but I say, look at his good side. r1 reply Post
Feb '13 dances-weebles right... but when i made the same point about mussolini and hitler someone came unstuck. the problem is, that while both of them had bits that people didn't care much for, historically, the also did great things for their nations. Post @dances-weebles

I love when he was arguing with Adams that what he was doing was against the constitution so he left his door unlocked and the documents on his desk and then called for a meeting with the press and didn't show up while they waited in his office. I am giggling at the results of this poll so far. DICK CHENEY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Feb '13 kathwynn v Joe Biden Ever wonder why he was reelected in Delaware? Consistently? The reason is because as those that chose to see him as fumbling or bumbling fool. Have underestimated him. He has shown how effective a Vice President can be. Not just the man that disappears. But as an effective way to open dialog on subjects that the President Himself can do with out it being perceived negatively. Go over every time VP Biden opened his mouth and said something "dumb" and then what followed after that. He is a politician that understand how to get his point. Be an effective member of the President Staff. He is in effect a valuable resource that President Obama can tap. You do not have to... r1 reply e6 endorsed Post
