Madison was in his second term when the War of 1812 ended.

Lincoln and McKinley were cut down by assassins.

Wilson was in his second term when WWI ended.

FDR was elected to a fourth term, then died.

In none of these cases did the public decide that they didn't want the same leader in peace that they did in war.

This article is just plain ignorant.

And I think LBJ would have won vs. Nixon in 68. It would have been close.

Thanks for correcting this idiot's assumptions - they surely weren't FACTS.

How interesting (OK, NOT) that someone could get so many facts wrong in one article. Is this proof of the mistakes in our school's text books? Yipes, I've heard that they are full of misstatements, and erroneous "facts", but this is severe.

I find it so difficult to believe what the NEA and the unions have done to our educational system, and want to know when we are going to get fed up with it, and take our schools back. Graduating from HS means nothing when the freshman year of College (IF they get there) is spent in remedial math, English and history. Friends, your tax dollars are being flushed - into the coffers of union thugs who don't give a d@mn about what our kids are learning. Or is there some "sotte voce" purpose, and they WANT to turn out illiterate kids, because they make better Democrat voters? Ohhhhh, that is a really scary thought!

I may be mistaken but I believe term limits were not in effect in 1812. Since I recall FDR getting a fair share over 8 years.
