[Analyzing Inconsistencies]

It would seem that this poll deserves your vote even if Reagan isn't your favorite conservative president. I voted in it even though George HERBERT Walker Bush is probably my favorite conservative president, not his predecessor Ronnie. Why? Well, Bush Sr. negotiated NAFTA (forcing U.S. labor unions to straighten up a little), liberated the internet for commerce (before Clinton inherited the .com boom), and proposed Mars colonization before subsequently firing the NASA Administrator who handed him a ludicrous half a trillion dollar proposed pricetag. Not bad, considering how he was bogged down by a partisan Democrat congress, huh?

Republicans in Congress are reportedly pushing for FDR's replacement:

I think Bill Clinton should be on a 3 dollar bill.

FDR or Reagan??....Flip a coin.

[I got the rope]

I've seen lots of CNN polls, but I've never seen 30,000 people vote on it. Methinks this poll is B.S.

Isn't there some law against depicting a living person on U.S. currency?

[Redcloak]

Been there.
FReeped that.

Ronaldus Magnus BUMP!

[Wumpus Hunter]

While it WOULD be nice to piss off the liberals by removing FDR, I'd much rather see Reagan on Mt. Rushmore.

When dimes go back to being made out of pure silver, Reagan should be on them.

Otherwise, FDR is more fitting. We have him to thank for our fiat currency.

I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but:

IMO this is the wrong time to fight this fight. Reagan lives. Let him be 10 years or so at rest, before we consider fighting to engrave his image on our currency.

Maybe, then, we should consider proposing him for the $10 bill. Liberals hate Alexander Hamilton anyway. Or the $20; liberals would be hard pressed, today, to "defend" Andrew Jackson. And the $20 is a heck of a lot more prominent than is the dime. Who really looks at dimes??

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Where is none of the above? I don't like the idea of presidents on coins. Since that was not available I voted for Reagan.

So you dont credit FDR with saving this country from facism and communism during the 30's and 40's. Without his new deal, we would likely have gotten something much worse. There were a lot of nuts of both the right and left that were running around in the 30's with dictatorial designs. Without his preparation for and guiding us into World War II, Hitler would have conquered all of Europe and Japan all of Asia before we wised up to the threat.

FDR was Ronald Reagan's favorite President. Nancy is not in favor of replacing FDR on the dime and she says Ronnie wouldnt be in favor it either. I expect she knows his wishes better than we. Got nothing better to do then fight the political battles of two generations ago?

FDR was IMO the worst president of the 20th century give or take Wilson(including Hoover, Klinton, and LBJ).
