Can I breed Thomas Jefferson with George Washington then mate the offspring with Ben Franklin?

Franklin, he talked the French into paying for our revolution. And some of the stunts he pulled during his early publishing days were hilarious.

Franklin.

He was definitely a guy who could knock them out of the park in American, British or French.

Thanks to writer33 for the ping!

This looks like a call for an honest answer.

Who Is Your Favorite Founding Father?

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
John Adams
Other:

I picked George Washington.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin’, if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

I’m handling Dynachrome’s FReep a Poll pings until June 24. Errors and omissions during that time are solely my fault and should cease upon his return.
