My vote went to Washington
Mine too! President Washington is first.....always.
Reagan way out in front.
Interesting perspective.
Freeped!(for Reagan of Course! )
ha ha...Klintoon came in ahead of JFK. How the mighty have fallen.
No surprise, Reagan beats the others combined.......
Richard Nixon.
Washington should be top ... period.
Basically without him there would be no USA and/or we would have a king instead of the govt we have today (though that aint saying much these days).
Exactly! Washington is our greatest president.
Barry Goldwater. He didn’t win, but I wasn’t old enough to vote then either.
Proudly voted for President Ronald Reagan.
Operation Wetback was another plus for President Eisenhower. I was only 11 at the time it began but I remember how effective it was. The hero of D-Day was a true American patriot who recognized the dangers of illegal immigration.
Reagan 51.5%. BWAHAHA. They may never know what hit them!
Common sense was still a respected attribute in those days.
Barry Goldwater will always be special to me for personal reasons. As a naive college student in the early 60's, I made the foolish decision to join the NAACP. My flirtation with that Communist-backed outfit was thankfully short-lived (although I did learn a lot about its vile anti-American agenda from the inside).
After that regretful lapse into liberalism, I returned to my Conservative roots and transferred to a solidly Christian college. I campaigned for and supported AuH2O with zeal, realizing that he would restore America to greatness and would slash government. We'd be living in a far, far better country today had Barry Goldwater won in 1964.
Considering he did not have the intel available today, he did a damn fine job making sure the US was secure enough for the stable 50's and prosperity we still enjoy the aftereffects of. He had a load of issues to deal with, Iran, VN, Egypt, etc. Being the Supreme Commander prepared him for the avalanche that followed WWII.
My top 5
Reagan
George Washington
Abe Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Reagan,Washington and Lincoln
Are you related to Jeff by marriage?
Decided to tip my hat to George Washington, without whom we would probably not have had a country in the first place.
