WASHINGTON -- Americans mentioned Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy and Abraham
Lincoln most often when asked in a poll whom they regarded as the greatest
president of the United States.
Those three former presidents were followed by Bill Clinton, Franklin
Roosevelt, Harry Truman, George Washington and Jimmy Carter, grouped
together slightly behind the top three in the Gallup Poll. Others mentioned
were George H.W. Bush, father of the current president, Theodore Roosevelt,
Richard Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower. Others were mentioned by a combined 5
percent.
Reagan was mentioned by 18 percent, Kennedy by 16 percent and Lincoln by 14
percent in the poll of 529 adults taken Feb. 9-11. The poll had an error
margin of 5 percentage points.
A year ago, Kennedy and Lincoln were mentioned most often, and Reagan and
Franklin Roosevelt were slightly behind them. Two years ago, Lincoln was
first, and Reagan, Kennedy, Clinton and Washington were grouped right behind
him.
When people were asked whether they would prefer to see George Washington or
Abraham Lincoln as president today, six in 10 said Lincoln and just under
three in 10 said Washington.
Gallup released the poll data for President's Day, which is celebrated
Monday. The holiday was originally celebrated on Feb. 22 each year on the
birthday of Washington, the nation's first president.
But, in 1968, Congress decided to make it a three-day weekend, setting the
holiday marking the first president's birthday as the third Monday in
February.
In 1971 President Nixon issued a proclamation declaring the holiday
Presidents Day in order to also honor Abraham Lincoln, who was born Feb. 12.

Yet Gandy here is only concerned with the guy who came in 4th.
I have a list of accomplishments where Bill comes in "first" for you:
First elected President to be impeached.
First elected President to be held in contempt of Federal court-by one of
his own law students, no less.
First elected President to voluntarily surrender his law license for 5 years
to avoid disbarment in his home state while still in office.
First elected President to cut a deal and cop a plea with a Federal
Prosecutor to avoid felony indictment after leaving office.

Whinette honey;
The REAL issue is whether or not in America a political enemy can, or should,
resort to using a smear to do what ideas and issues could not.
Your side was beaten and bloody in 1995 which prompted the most respected
ideologues of CPAC to beging the Jones Smear. Capitalizing on the largesse
of both the American taxpayer and Richard mellon Scaife, your party of "moral"
misfits laid rest any notion of "ideals", "principles", and "values" that they
claimed underpinned the conservative philosophy.
Clinton has nothing to do with most of it.
you cannot claim righteous indignation about "morals" when it was your own
side that unleashed a rash of immoral and unethical political smears that used
salacious material as a tool. Releasing whatever "sinful" distractions that
Clinton enjoyed was designed, NOT for betterment of Society, or the system,
but simply to discredit someone they could not beat.
Moreover, for 9 years, your side... a political philosophy that pretends that
"values", "honor", "principles" as the bedrock of your beliefs, has engaged in
the most vicious, slanderous, pre-occupation of getting an opponet. You've
spent nearly $100 million dollars in fuckwitted failed witch hunts, tens of
millions in private donated money.
In direct contravention of your stated beliefs that "americanism" is behind
your motivation, you readily use unproven allegation, insinuation , innuendo,
conjecture, theories, rumors, stories and lies AS IF they constituted proof of
crimes, then call for legal punishment, social punishment, and poltical
punishment.
In short, whinette, you belong to the single greatest threat to America that
ever come along since McCarthy did his nonsense 40+ years ago.
Clinton at least did something for real Americans. Unlike the drooler, he
didn't subvert the constitution, LIE, and cause harm to public policy like the
turnip you venerate.
>| YOU lost seats in the House

>But still control
What a typical fuckwitted conservaturd
"losing is winning"
Orwell would be proud of fuckwits like you.
>Rosie, if you had any sense in your head, you would at least have something.

"disgraced the residence"
You mean greater than selling arms to enemies, laundering money, fucking
America like your dumb drooler did?

No, you forget that Reagan was shot too.

This from a fool who assured us Gore would mop the floor with Shrub in the

DC on January 20th. So far, he's 0 for 2.

You sure as hell did. Who controls the House, the Senate, and the Executive.
Better yet who will appoint the next SC justices.
The rest of rosies emotional appeal based not on facts, but lies snipped.
We know when rosie cannot refute the topic in question, as he changes the

Ooooh. The little fascist speaks. You should really bring some charges
against me, Stevie. I'm dying to see what a brave little right winger you
are.

Hell gadaffy, I wish chumps like you would really fight for your cause. But
you all do not have the moral courage that is needed to fight for a cause.
All you are is a windbag. As you are claiming this ais a cultural war, well
bad news for you, your side is losing. America rejects your ideology. And
tell us why are you guys on the left such intolerant bigots.

You think I care how the cowards on the left think about me.
I want them to hate me, as they are my enemies. This way it is easier to
expose their hypocracy, and intolerance. Just like you have stuck your

Hitler was a right wing fascist and every unbiased historian in the world

Republic of China is filled with Republicans.

Hitler was a right wing fascist who privatised a great deal of industrial
Germany while killing off every leftist he could get his hands on.

What's the deal Rosie? Is fuckwit the only word you know? I've always heard
that a person's world is defined by his vocabulary. What a tawdry world you
must live in.
Since you won, why are you whining? Are you afraid that the law might be
enforced? Are you hiding something under your skirt? Move to SF, you can get
a government job and let the tax payers of SF subsidize your sex change.
