[MasterJedi]

Well I vote FDR.

[Ebowed]

I wonder if George W. Bush shares our conservatives' disdain for Johnson and Roosevelt.  "Yes, I hate the New Deal and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Vietnam was a mistake... not that Iraq was."  Watch his poll numbers plummet.  Bush isn't even on the same field as you people.

George W Bush

FDR, he was such a terrible jerk to Herbert Hoover.

This front page of the New Yorker was canceled because of the failed assasination of FDR a week before. Too bad, because this is the best example of what a jerk FDR was:

That's the opposite of what happened. Hoover was a dick to Roosevelt. He tried to make small talk with him on the way to the inauguration, and Hoover pointedly ignored him.

FDR

It looks like the Greatest President was too great for this island of losers.

[Emsworth]

It looks like the Greatest President was too great for this island of losers.

Greatest President, eh? What did he actually do? Ultimately, his most important legacy, the New Deal, did not accomplish what it was supposed to; it was WWII that brought the U.S. out of the Depression.

[Peter]

Herbert Hoover, because PBrunsel voted for me in Atlas Survivor.

[A18]

Herbert Hoover, because PBrunsel voted for me in Atlas Survivor.

[Jake]

He was good, but certainly not the greatest. He is in the top ten greatest, and could find a place in the top five, but he's not the best.

Top Five:
Reagan
Truman
FDR
Jefferson
Madison

Top Ten:
Nixon
Coolidge
Teddy Roosevelt
Eisenhower
Polk

How is Nixon comparable to FDR?  And if you wanted to see the consequential presidents head-to-head at the end, why wouldn't you support getting rid of GWB before FDR?

If there hadn't been a concerted effort to go after GWB this round, people like me never would have voted for FDR.  I would have voted for some dead-wood 19th century president instead.  I have no desire to see FDR, Truman, etc. eliminated at this stage.  Notice there's been no effort to eliminate Bill Clinton so far.

I say get rid of the dead wood first, then we'll deal with the more controversial and consequential presidents.

I agree. I wanted to get Garfield off but changed after I saw the effort to oust Bush. FDR was a great president with regards with WWII and the way he led the country to victory. However, his pre-WWII presidency hurts him in the eyes of many.

[Rob]

In real life, I would have voted for FDR twice and voted against him twice... he was a good President, but not the best. He should certainly not have been voted off this early, though I wouldn't have wanted him to win, either.

Alas, no names like Garfield and Harrison now predominate... keep voting off major Presidents and this game is gonna get real boring, real fast.

Lincoln.  For States.

Alright all you bitter partisan Presidential Survivor voters, time to give this poor thread a rest.   We've gone through 9 pages and 121 posts in the last 24 hours, but voting for round 14 is now closed.   Results will be up momentairly.  

[DanimalBr]

Tredrick, you're cuttin it kind of close there, but you got it in with 6 seconds left. 

[DanimalBr]

Okay, well there was some controversy with one of the votes, but fortunantly it wouldn't have made any difference either way.   So here are the final results of the Round 14 vote:

Franklin D. Roosevelt - 22

George W. Bush - 18

Herbert Hoover - 2

Abraham Lincoln - 2

George H. W. Bush - 1

Chester A. Arthur - 1


FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, YOU SPENT MORE TIME IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAN ANY OTHER MAN EVER HAS OR WILL AGAIN, BUT THAT WILL NOT BE THE CASE THIS TIME.   YOU ARE THE 14th U.S PRESIDENT TO BE VOTED OFF THE ISLAND.   IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO


PRESIDENT FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN

Round 15 thread will be up in a few minues, so everyone just take a big glass of water and relax for a few minutes before you start going after one another.

Bullsh**t.
