You aren't fit to spit shine my grandfather's shoes.

So you'd rather trust some BLOG, on line, than contemporaneous books, news papers, and an actual human being who lived through that era? LOL...fine; everything you read on line is 100% factual. /S

I'd suggest that you read up on the 1912 election ( one interesting book is 1912; WILSON, ROOSEVELT, TAFT, AND DEBS, as well as various other books, as well as contemporaneous written materials, but it appears that you are far too mired in your own opinions.

FYI........Teddy R. spent decades fighting his era's GOPEers; in N.Y. and then in D.C.!

You can NOT judge past times with today's mores and/or ideas. You need to learn that!

LOL. I’m glad you care so much what your grampa thinks, but I don’t. I just trust the facts. I guess that makes me a whippersnapper.

Hey, PGA, this guy says you are "some blog" and that Teddy Roosevelt was NOT a progressive, because his grandfather told him so.

What say you to that? Was Teddy Roosevelt a progressive, or a conservative as this guy says???
