"Republicans take top 2 spots Reagan #1, Lincoln #2.... :D"

Makes sense. #2 freed the slaves and #1 freed the SLAVS...

The amazing thing to me is that 4 of the 5 finalists were men that FReepers could vote for. Considering that the DUmmies hate Ronaldus Magnus, think that Washington was an evil slave holder, teach that Lincoln held evil thoughts towards blacks and probably have no clue the enormous contributions that Franklin made to the founding founders, I thought that MLK might sneak in and win.
Personally, I voted twice for Washington and one for President Reagan, but any one of the top 5 but King were great men, and I could see how some americans would view King as great. Compare this to Britain where a women who was a tabloid story almost beat out Churchill.
