Reply #5: Only four? [View All]

I mean, you could go contemporary and just do the last four — Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II — and have a pretty shameful mountain face.

Or, you could take a long view and include folks like Herbert Hoover, who egged on the Great Depression with his asinine economic Policy. Or maybe even U.S. Grant, who, despite his undeniable greatness as a military leader (one could also say "ruthlessness," but that's not necessarily a bad thing to have in a Civil War general), proved to be one of the crookedest -- or at least most ineffectual -- presidents in history.

And there's plenty more! Sweet Jesus, has their really eve been a decent Republican president since the first one?
