whos your political hero and why????

Question

mines newt
hed never get voted though, the libs would lower taxes before theyd let that happen.

Answer 1

Ronald Reagan. He was a superb politician; but also a person of integrity. He brought taxes to their lowest threshhold in many years and proved that it would actually increase total income to the government. He brought down Communism. And he fostered a kind of optimism that we had not seen in a long time either before or since. God bless him.

Answer 2

General Wesley Clark! I really thought he would win the Primary last time and knock Bush out into space. His more moderate values were neither far left or far right and he had some great ideas with his military background to make some great changes within our government and get us out of Iraq. Unfortunately, that was probably his downfall, as the politicians in Washington probably viewed him as a real threat and he didn't get much farther than New hampshire in the primaries. But I still think he would be an awesome President.

Answer 3

I would have to put Lee Hamilton, former Congressman from Indiana, pretty close to the top of the list.

Hamilton is not someone that quickly comes to mind for most people, but he was one of the most clear-thinking, level-headed public servants we have had in years. He never sought the limelight, although occasionally had it put upon him (notably during the Iran-Contra Hearings and in the more recent 9/11 Commission).

He was a Democrat, but never an idealogue. He was always a hard worker and everything that came out of his mouth showed that he was not swayed by whatever political blather of the day was popular.

I deeply respect him. Although a Californian, I wish I had the honor of calling him my congressman. The people of Indiana and of the U.S. should be proud.

Answer 4

No flesh presser-all of them lie. i could say Martin Luther King Jr, or Thomas Paine. MLK as a results of fact he helped African-human beings income rights, and Thomas Paine as a results of fact he replaced into between the international's first liberal thinkers, embracing government as a mandatory evil,He antagonistic slavery and replaced into among the earliest proponents of social protection, standard loose public preparation, a certain minimum income, and extremely some different radical concepts now straightforward practice in maximum western democracies.

Answer 5

When Taft was president, he was so fat that he got stuck in a bath-tub. While it was filled with water. Water is a lubricant. So basically, Taft was really fat. They had to call the D.C. police to chop open the tub and get Taft's fat naked body out. Imagine being the firefighter who goes to the Whitehouse to rescue the fat naked President. Too bad there was no SNL back then, those guys need better comedic material.

Answer 6

Take a wild guess.:)

Ronald Reagan. That guy was the epitome of what it takes to be a great president. Without him, we'd still be fighting a Cold War (or if the horrible Carter years had been extended, perhaps not).

Answer 7

Mahatma Gandhi. This man liberated the most populous nation in the world from it's colonial oppressors without the use of violence. He may have been the greatest man of all times.

Answer 8

Right now, I'd have to say George W. Bush, because he is continually having to make tough, unpopular decisions, and he does so sticking by his principals, regardless of the poles and media bashings.

Answer 9

Benjamin Franklin, without a doubt.

Answer 10

Benjamin Franklin, just a true great. One of the most great Americans ever.
