1. Except for GHWB and RR, none of the others were HORRIBLE

I had to vote for Reagan. He really started the ball rolling, and it's been downhill ever since.

2. You should have left off Reagan so I could have voted for McKinnley

McKinley was W the first. He, too, started a war on trumped up lies to conquer a nation and build an empire. He, too, was a stuffed shirt governor. He, too, had a corrupt, worthless media to trumpet his wars and fluff his public image. He, too, was a petty tyrant.

Karl Rove consciously modeled W on McKinley.

3. Buchanan, hands down. None, including Shrub, come close.

But I don't think he is in the poll.

7. Pierce was bad, no doubt. But Pierce is no Buchanan.

Worst. President. Ever.

4. "Arms For Hostages" made Reagan a traitor even before his inaguration.

Then he went on to fuck the poor and dismantle the labor movement.

WHAT...A...PRICK!
