The middle of the country is going to be treated badly someday by the dominate urban area. Food will be the catalyst.
As Freepers we understand history and realize that George Washington should have won this hands down. With that being said, I am thrilled that Reagan won and beat out any RAT that was up there. Lincoln was a great Pres, and I think that Reagan is going to take his place in the top tier of US Presidents from history.
I wanted to BARF when Ron-not a junior-was put on to speak for his father. He spat on his father's memory when he spoke at the RAT convention IMHO.
I thought it be Lincoln or Washington I would never thought Ronnie would have won
Rack it anyway LOL!!!
Matt look like he want choke every American who vote on this poll LOL!
Yes indeed : )
The trolls will be all over the place tomorrow.
I agree. I adore Reagan, but I wouldn't rank him above Washington and Lincoln, that's for sure!
I was amazed at who the top 5 were. Ronald Reagan is a damn good choice
'illegal'??
Uh, the revolution was illegal...
This thing WAS a popularity contest, and as I understand it couldn't be rigged like most internet polls. So it's a pretty accurate reflection of where people stand.
What does it mean? They're headed in our direction. I like that and it seems like a pretty big win for our ideas!
I voted for the Gipper. Cool.
That's it, put him on Mount Rushmore...
Probably because you won't... they will talk about the aquittal of their hero Michael Jackson instead...
i would order it: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Right. Washington, Lincoln and then Reagan. Sheesh. But I'll settle for a Reagan win anyday. :-)
With malice toward none, each was special for his time. The magnitude of the accomplishments of each is incalculable. For Lincoln, he did more than crush the rebellion which would have doomed our nation to roughly half its historic potentiality. He preserved the union and forestalled what would have been a perpetual, heated rivalry.
For Reagan, he struggled against a massive media animus and a fellow-travelling opposition party to crush the communist menace and the ominous threat of global thermonuclear war. Hard to compare, but, due to the sheer magnitude and universality of the stakes, I voted for Reagan.
With charity for all.
"FDR"
I know people hate him, my mom hated him, but I always felt he did a good job leading the country through a very bad time. And hey! he wanted private accounts for soc. security too.
"The only exception being their recent list of 250 nominees for best movie scores--outstanding list."
Wow, I never even heard of this. You should do one of those nice chatty weekend threads on it. I really like those!
I just watched "Collateral" with hubby the other night. I thought it had a really good soundtrack.
Audie Murphy?
Much as I LOVE Ronald Reagan(and think he is a truly great American, not Sean Hannity's little wuss comments on his show), this just shows that Americans do not know their history and think what happened 20 years ago is a long time....
Do they even KNOW any other great Americans to vote for?
I agree. Favre has done more for pairs ice skating than RR ever could have done. Such a shame. When does Favre do his screen test?
