Who Was The Most Conservative Democratic President And Why?

[Sanity Claws]

1. Hoover?

The first ones that came to mind were Hoobert Heever and Calvin Coolidge, neither of which you listed.
I don't think of Wilson as conservative because of his campaigning for the League of Nations.

3. Or would, if Hoover and Coolidge weren't Republicans ;)

9. Oops

I didn't see that part of the question.
I couldn't figure out why he had listed those guys. Now it makes sense!!
Maybe it's time to get my eyes checked or read a little more slowly!!

[Bush was AWOL]

7. Hoover and Coolidge were Republicans

[leftyandproud]

15. kennedy...MASSIVE TAX CUTS.

he inspired Reaganomics.

2. Buchanan.

Or any other pre-civil-war dem.
Way back then we were the conservative southern asshats and the newly-founded Republican party were the liberals.

5. That's Why I Didn't Go Back All The Way To Andrew Jackson (nt)

[Sandpiper]

4. Definitely Woodrow Wilson

Racist, union busting, anti free speech, warmonger.

6. No question it is Cleveland

who was a classic 19th Century conservative Democrat--of the choices on your list.

8. That's Why I Started With Grover (nt)

10. Teddy Roosevelt

because--for some strange reason--he insisted on registering and running in parties other than the Democratic.

Its not fair that the Republicans get to claim both TR and Lincoln. Neither were representative of their party.

I mean for crying out loud, how could someone who helped end slavery, and who had the word "Honest" in his nickname be a Republican?

And how could someone who busted monopolies and so helped develop the National Park system be a Republican?

Interesting. The Republican historical anomolies are better suited to run the country than the DLC.


ON EDIT - My Bad. Roosevelt did't create the National Park System.

13. Cleveland was the very definition of conservative.

He was also a very good human being.

14. FDR because he saved Capitalism.

His New Deal headed off a socialist revolution in Amerika.
