1. WTF!!

Why does JFK have almost 3x the votes of Teddy Roosevelt??

I think, without a doubt, Teddy had more of an impact on the course of American History than any of the other 3.

None of the above: 0%

10. I wouldn't be surprised if it was freeped though...

but your point is valid. As of the time I voted (2 seconds ago) there were only 900 odd votes. Not an accurate crosssection.

FDR is the obvious choice. What would've become of Britian without our early arms support? What would have become of Russia and the rest of the continent if Hitler only had one real front?

[Leprechan29]

13. True

Vote count is really low and hardly moving

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. People don't know their history. n/t

[LittleApple81]

17. I think this is bigger than the freepers. They have been assaulted

by the corpse-in-chief for nine days...FDR? who? TR who? ....

[Norquist Nemesis]

21. Assaulted and re-educated.

It's been an entire week of disgusting revisionist history.

12. Teach those folks some history!

Way to go DU!

[IconoclastIlene]

14. Give 'em Hell Harry!!!

The buck stops here. There was a man who made hard descisions, had horse sense and soul.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

15. Done

Voted for FDR, of course. LOL (avatar). I was JUST telling my daughter today what he did for this country and she was pretty impressed with him. I also have a great biography of him I'll let her read if she wants when she is older.

FDR is at the head of the pack by quite a bit now.

As it should be.

[delete_bush]

16. Another vote for FDR

but only because Hoover and shrub weren't on the list.

[LittleApple81]

18. Sorry but look at these results now (I think we have more freepers than

DUers here...unless DUers are voting for Reagan!)

Theodore Roosevelt: 10%

Franklin Roosevelt: 28%

John Kennedy: 8%

Ronald Reagan: 50%

None of the above 1%

with 1557 votes.

19. i hate freepers

they cheat in order to win and claim its justified because they know whats best

one day...when i am king, all freepers will be designated unfit for normal society and banished to a lunar colony established just for them...

yea, its 1:30 in the AM and im tired, but hey wouldn't it be cool to bansh those morans?

[RoyGBiv]

20. It's being freeped. Over 100 votes in 1 minute...

My vote was #1778, after I made it FDR's percentage went down. Curious, I reloaded the page about a minute later, and the vote total was up to 1890, and Reagan's percentage had increased.

OnEdit: It's not setting a cookie to prevent multiple votes. I've watched it a bit now, and it appears a few people, maybe just two or three, are repeatedly voting.

[yardwork]

22. Yep. Freeped. Reagan now at 60%. Yawn.

[Norquist Nemesis]

23. FDR 20% - Reagun 60%

Let the Freakers waste their time. If another internet poll is the most important thing in their puny little lives, it just demonstrates what a sorry lot they are.

[DieboldMustDie]

24. Please note, the question is who had the greatest impact...

not who had the greatest positive impact. Nevertheless, getting us through the Great Depression and World War II seem to me to be far more significant than anything Reagan did. :shrug:

[Must_B_Free]

25. Well that is a tough call

The War on Drugs vs. World War II...

Hmmmm...
