Teddy is hands down my favorite president.
Bully!
He pissed off a lot of folks and he didnt tow the party line but by golly he got some great stuff done.
I know a lot of folks wont like this... But McCain is the closest thing we have seen to Roosevelt in ages.
Pray for the best.

TR was a Progressive, who ran against Taft in 1912 on the Progressive Party (Bull Moose Party) ticket, and split the Republican vote, thereby ensuring that Wilson won the White House.
He did the American people no favor, either policy wise nor politically, and had a major role in ensuring that the 20th Century started off on a Progressive footing.
Personally, I think adoration of him his badly misplaced, and needs to be revisited.
I recommend that you read Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” to learn more.
