Bush is a modern day Hoover. Which modern day dem could be our FDR?

[coloradodem2005]

In many ways Bush is like a more violent, less stable Herbert Hoover? Which Dem can be our Franklin Roosevelt?

[impeach the gop]

1. Dennis Kucinnich

That's my man :-)

[mikehiggins]

2. Boy, don't pitch the easy ones

Wes Clark could, at least in terms of inspiring Americans to do better than they thought they could. A guy who leads by example, not by rhetoric.

[Guaranteed]

3. Is he a progressive?

Does he have a domestic policy, even?

[kiahzero]

6. Yes, and yes

But why find out, when you can make snide remarks, instead.

[Guaranteed]

9. Hey, I've laid off the candidates for two months now.

I'm sick of Clark supporters and their nastiness. Gore endorses Dean and they start in on Gore.

I LIKE Wesley Clark. I DON'T like saying bad things about him. But I am SICK of this SHIT. And while I've never seen you, personally, go out of your way to trash Dean, Clark supporters need to get some of their own back.

My apologies. I'm sorry.

4. Kerry, Dean, Edwards, Clark, Gephart, Kucinich, Braun, Sharpton

if we pile on and push them in the right direction.

[abbyhoffman]

5. Unlike Hoover

Bushie will win "re-election"

[Cha]

7. bush was never "elected" in the

first place....Secondly.. bush ain't gonna steal another one. Got it?

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Please....

Bush is no Hoover.

All hell broke loose on Hoover's watch, but Hoover himself was a pretty decent guy, and both Truman and Eisenhower tapped his other talents later on.

Aside from the obvious, Hoover had a fair record of achievement both in and out of office, particularly out of office. No, he wasn't a great President, but nothing like the POS we have now. He, at least, tried his best, although misguided.

Shrub couldn't stand in Hoover's shadow.

Engineer, author, humanitarian... failed policies as President... I would consider him much closer to Carter than to Bush.

12. more like Harding or Buchanan

Thank Hoover for a number of things. All that comes to mind now was the organization of relief in Europe after WWI.


I just don't believe he had any idea how to grapple with the crash of the economic boom in the 20s and the stagnation and fiscal crisis which was more of a world wide situation. Hoover was more of a tragic figure in some ways. Bush does not even come close to him in stature. Hands down the chimp is the worst president in American history.

I like Clark but suscribe to the anyone but bush position.
