Presidential Survivor Poll 7

[SPC]

Btw, this round seems to be a Libertarian's nightmare.

Indeed it is.

FDR is terrible for too many reasons to list.
Truman killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians and further worked to erode federalism in the name of "civil rights".
Eisenhower was a moderate who started American involvement in Vietnam, installed the Shah, and failed to reverse the New Deal of the FDR administration.
Kennedy expanded social welfare programs and nearly got us into a war with Cuba.
Johnson eroded federalism and private property with the Orwellian "Civil Rights Act", further expanded social welfare programs, started the "War on Poverty", and escalated the Vietnam War.

I voted Eisenhower by default.

Agreed, except I defaulted to Truman.  Mainly because he did drop the bomb.  It was the correct choice at the time and history, I feel, has agreed with him.  Ike did build a pretty good highway system though.

Well, I don't think that killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese was the correct choice. I would have prefered for him to drop it in a place where it would have caused far less deaths, if he had to drop it at all. Also, Nagasaki was completely unnecesary. Regarding the highway system, I'd read one of Walter Block's pieces on road socialism.

Wow, LBJ is getting shut out of this group.  He's even losing to Nixon, which I think is sad.  Personally, after Ike, I would take LBJ, then FDR.

I guess people don't appreciate killing gooks.
