Presidential Survivor (ROUND 37)

[MaC]

Milk and cereal utters a dangerous phrase when he says he's counting on StatesRights and Philip for back up.

You guys are all crazy to go after Lincoln and Washington.  Jefferson deserves to go in this round.  Or Truman.

I vote Washington though, as he is the less great of the to men being persecuted.

hey Bono, Carl Hayden, and David S also back me up that Lincoln was not a great president.

He arrested Maryland's governor, suspended their legislature, and put the state under martial law. He spent money unconstitutionally without congressional approval. He suspended the writ of habeas corpus illegally, time and time again, and perhaps ordered the arrest of the chief justice for ruling against him.

Terrible president, terrible person.

you were aware that USA were in a civil war at time?

Show me where the provision to do those things without congress aproval in the case of a war is in the constitution.

get outside your closed minded public school education, and realize that "he saved the union" and "he freed the slaves" are myths.  Point is, he's a tyrant who overstepped his bounds time and time again.  I really don't see how he's so highly glorified.  On the other hand Washington set the tone for the presidency. He was offered a crown and turned it down.  He realised that the Constitution was the supreme law of the land and did a good job as our first president elected under the Constitution.

Abraham Lincoln!

Well if those three say he was so terrible...it must be so!


I cast my vote for George Washington

[Citizen James]

Abraham "the log cabin lawyer" Lincoln.

[Platypus]

WTF? Why are we getting rid of Lincoln and Washington when there is still Jefferson?

I vote Lincoln, only to save Washington. The first on the island should be the last to leave

I'm voted Washington this round, and then if he's eliminated, I'll vote for Jefferson next round.

Abraham Lincoln

Ike must go next round.

[Blue Rectangle]

Washington could have accepted the title of dictator, but chose to be president.
Lincoln became president, then brought the country the closest it has been to a dictatorship.

I vote for Lincoln.

I thought that was FDR.
