How many good Republican Presidents have there been?

[ButterflyBlood]

I can only think of 3: Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower.

1. Don't forget Clinton *ducking for cover*

[davidinalameda]

2. humph!

:eyes:

[Langis]

3. Why are you ducking?

I thought he was one of the best =).

[Dutch]

4. 1- Lincoln. Plus a couple of medicore/mixed bags...nt

[dansolo]

6. Teddy Roosevelt was not mediocre

He was one of the best presidents, Democrat or Republican.

5. Even Nixon looks good...

compared to Bush II

[Minstrel Boy]

14. Nixon shook hands with Mao. Bush

would have called him a "pigmy."

[NewJeffCT]

16. and then he would have asked

If they have any black people in China.

7. McKinley is underrated

And Grant...though not a great President, was a great man, and was a better President than he is usually portrayed.

15. McKinnely was a corporate whore and imperialist

Remeber the honnorable William Jennings Bryant ran against McKinney and his cross of gold.

8. Honest Abe and Trustbuster Teddy, yessir...

.. but not sure I liked Ike as President so much. Good soldier, though.

9. Eisenhower had some admirable qualities, but

I wouldn't call him a good president. I'm brought up short by the coups he sponsored, overthrowing democratic regimes in Guatemala and Iran, and in 1955 he chose to circumvent elections for a united Vietnam and recognized the South, installing Ngo Dinh Diem. And the tragedy of American policy towards Castro's Cuba began under his administration.

His short-sighted choices cost millions of lives.

10. Those three

Those three weren't "REAL" Republicans as we know them today. They were all Progressives and Populists.

[adriennel]

11. Lincoln.

That's all. Man was a genius. Visited the Lincoln Memorial a couple of weeks ago, and it was very emotional for me.
Sorry, I don't like Teddy though I will concede he did some good things for our country. I don't know where you came up with Eisenhower ;-)

[CO Liberal]

12. Chester A. Arthur

After becoming President after Garfield was assassinated by an office-seeker, Arthur pushed for (and got) civil service reforms.

[Faygo Kid]

17. Underrated, for sure

Nobody thought Arthur would do anything; linked to the spoils system. But, he turned out fine. Stylish guy, too.

13. TR!!!

I'm a big TR fan - been to his house literally dozens of times, but he was never home, though... :silly:
