GOP portrait

[Articulate_Ape]

I would submit that JFK and Teddy Roosevelt should be swapped to make the portraits accurate from a practical standpoint.

And I imagine yours as small and dirty with yellowed plaster with cracks in it, a mattress about 2 inches thick, covered in piss stains, no sheets, no pillow, a bare bulb hanging by a wire for light, and a junkie named "Doug" who is your husband.

That's a little over the top, BC. I mean a mattress? C'mon!

TR'd be considered a moderate by today's standards, as would JFK. TR's Bull Moose flirtation only spanned two years of his political life, and by the end of his life, he was a Republican again and had become more conservative. The GOP wanted him to run for President in 1920 and he wanted it too, and likely would've won, but he died in late 1919...It'd be like judging Winston Churchill solely by his years in the Labour party, or only judging Reagan by his near 30 (1930s-1962) years as an FDR supporting Democrat.

Here Reagan is at age 37, promoting Truman for President, promoting Hubert Humphrey for Congress, blasting the Republican Senate of 1946 for what he saw as their failures and their mistreatment of the American people, and saying how the Taft-Hartley Act is a bad thing.

Know your history kid.

even Teddy's daughter Alice (who was much more conservative than her dad) got mad when people said he was a liberal and would have agreed with his cousin's polices.

Those two "paintings" make the "Dogs Playing Poker" look like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Or swap out TR with Coolidge, wearing the green visor, because Cue is not feeling Teddy.

Leaving out Lincoln, one was transformational (up to you if you like the transformation or not), two were great, one was very good, one was good but flawed, one was the worst of the 20th Century, and the other was mediocre to bad.

A pretty good record, actually.

Well considering Bush II was 21st Century, I guess that excludes him.

Who are you calling worst of the 20th Century?
