Your favorite politicans of all time from the other party(s)

[Phony Moderate]

My all time favorite Conservatives (UK):

Sir Winston Churchill (For World War Two)
Edward Heath (Got us into what is now the EU)
Kenneth Clarke (Fixed the economy when he was Chancellor, and also a moderate)
Alan Duncan (A gay hero)
Michael Heseltine (Basically got rid of Thatcher)

My all time favorite Republicans (USA):

Abe Lincoln (For the Civil War)
Teddy Roosevelt (A progressive)
Thomas Dewey (Possibly the most liberal Republican nominee of the last 100 years)
Dwight D. Eisenhower (A moderate who supported civil rights)
Nelson Rockefeller (Another pretty good liberal)
Gerald Ford (A nice man and a moderate)
Lincoln Chafee (More liberal than half of the Democratic Party)
Susan Collins (Liberal on most social issues, including gay rights)
Olympia Snowe (Also liberal on most social issues, including gay rights)
Arnold Schwarzenegger (Opposed Prop 8, liberal on most social issues, also an economic moderate)

Indeed.

[Ronnie]

Arnold Schwarzenegger

You whud not say this if you whur in California.

You can't even think about blaming Arnold for most of the problems in CA.   I don't like him one bit, though.

As for Democrats that I like, Harry Truman was pretty awesome.  I would say Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman, but they aren't really Democrats. o(

I find Benoît Hamon's ideology horrible and I don't like that he's a fake Breton, but he actually proposes stuff for once and is actually quite decent, intelligent and well-mannered in debates and the like.

George "Atheists aren't citizens" Bush? Really?

I thought that quote was a hoax.

The quote has never been independently verified.  The only person who heard it was the Atheist reporter who asked the question.  So, on Snopes I believe, it is a "yellow light".  Neither true nor false.
