Since those who pacify cannot be a effective leader (or one of substance), i'll stick to what i originally wrote. Feel free to defend Carter, you may be the only one talking.

I think all the presidents are included, hence the "other" choice. I agree that it's not complete because of the times that these presidents served. ie: Slaves, civil rights, nukes, gay rights etc...

I voted for our current president, but now that I think about it, Andrew Jackson was pretty bad too.

I can't choose between Reagan,Nixon,and Bush Jr. It's just too hard.

Fuck it. I'll go with Nixon because he officially started the War On Drugs.

See that's exactly why Gazz and I challenged your statement. You clearly implied this to be the case.

I'd argue that peacemakers are the greatest leaders, but maybe that's a difference in liberal and conservative thought.

Unfortunately neither the poll nor this forum meets those criteria.

why is Bill so low? (poll wise)
Cruise Missile Strikes on Afghanistan and Sudan
NATO bombings Kosovo and Serbia
US bombs Chinese embassy in Belgrade
etc.
In terms of foreign policy i'd say he(his gov't) possibly worse then Bush jr. But i guess people can't really remember much bout him other then the sex scandle. These polls are horrible, people will only select either the most familiar or recent options.

There was no Patriot Act under Clinton, and the entire world didn't hate us back then like they do now.

In defense of Lincoln, war has always entailed a heightening of socialization. There's never been any other way to fund a war than the collective.

I agree with that.  But wouldn't you say Clinton, Bush, and Reagan are all familiar and recent options?

What is unusual about George W. is not the lack of support for him; he enjoys the usual support from fellow party members that most presidents enjoy.  What is unusual is the amazing level of hatred against him from people outside his party.  This may be the most divided the country has ever been since the Civil War.  Most presidents you dislike because of their tax policy, their stand on abortion, or the fact they had a personal scandal.  But Bush has gone far beyond these "normal" things.  He is destroying our freedoms, ignoring our constitution, killing people around the globe, making the US the world's most hated country, and not doing a damn thing in the meantime to make the American people better off (except the rich, of course, who have gotten a lot out of Bush).

I was just curious to see if people did indeed hate Bush a lot more than "normal".  And it seems they do...  :frown:

Actually, people on this site (a drug site) hate him more than normal. I've pointed out to you before that this site does not give an accurate picture on this type of poll.

I believe it wouldn't matter who the president was, the majority here would like him if he was a dem, and will hate any repub.

A pacifist is "one who believes that disputes between nations should and can be settled peacefully."  You said "...those who pacify cannot be a effective leader (or one of substance)...."  Therefore, to be a good leader, you must not be a pacifist.  One who is not a pacifist is a warmonger (you're either for peace, or you're for war - what other option is there?)  Therefore, Gazz and I suggested you use the term "warmonger" rather than "leader".

As far as the "try thinking" comment goes, now you're getting into ad hominen attacks, which LDS has shown his approval for in his last post...  :mad2:  (have another red face lds, I know how much you luv 'em  :wink:)

To repeat, you said "...those who pacify cannot be a effective leader (or one of substance)...."  If you're against peace, then you must be for war.  What other option is there? 

And I agree, we shouldn't stereotype.  Wait a minute, in the very same post you said "You libbies like to read into everything without thinking."  Talk about being hypocritical!  :wink:
