W.H. Harrison was put on there as a joke and Polk is considered the be the greatest by some. I don't like Polk one bit but some others do. I would like to know why Polk is considered so great by some.Frigidus wrote:Gillipig wrote:Why isn't Bill Clinton on the list?..............![]()

No Wilson either. I don't get how Polk, a man who basically ran on a campaign of aggressive imperialism, and Harrison, a man who did virtually nothing of note, beat both of these more popular presidents.

Because he made the world a safer place
I already told you he got rid of Saddam Huessain and also isn't red neck a slaying term for a southerner. North Dakota is located along the Canadian border.comic boy wrote:JJM wrote:Nope.

I think Jim is trying to say "Because Obama hasn't fulfilled a full term of office yet, and so couldn't be in the poll"
Right Jimmy boy?
Still waiting for you to explain how Bush has made the World safer, are you having problems understanding the question, surely even the red neck schools in North Dakota teach English ?
There are people who think he was a great president but I don't think that very many would think of him as the best.Gillipig wrote:Why isn't Bill Clinton on the list?..............![]()

Obama stole the nomination from Clinton. He took his name off the ballot in Michigan so he should not have gotten any of Michigan's delagates.Frigidus wrote:JJM wrote:Nope. I'm saying he's a crook.Skittles! wrote:JJM wrote:Because obama is a crook.GabonX wrote:How come Obama isn't an option?

Although I agree that Obama should certainly not be an option for Skittles reason, JJM's excuse makes him as much of a "crook" as Obama. He complains that Obama sleaze'd his opponent out of a local election, but then takes out an option that a lot of people (homers all) would have voted for? The irony is delicious.

Firstly you have been told several times that getting rid of Saddam DID NOT make the world safer, care to explain why you think it did ? Secondly redneck is not a term reserved only for Southerners, dont they teach you anything that is factual in your red neck North Dakota 'school '
If you don't think that saddam Hussein was very cruel then I don't know what you are thinking.comic boy wrote:Dim Jim

Regardless, removing him from power was the only acceptable action for the world community to take. Crimes against humanity have no statute of limitations and people like Hussein NEED to be punished. There can not be a perception that such conduct is acceptable, or worse, profitable...

I would like to know - where the f*ck have you been for the past two or so months? The protests have been put down, doesn't meant they don't think he's a dictator.

Some of them do. Iran is really complicated, and those protests weren't a revolution, no matter what we want to believe.

Whoa, Teddy's a socialist? Who isn't, then? Aside from the anti-trust bit I can't imagine what would label him as such.

I would love for you or Dim Jim to provide some links showing anywhere near a concencus supporting your wild claims, even most Bush appologists dont try to claim that the WORLD is safer since Saddam was overthrown.
