I have some actual Presidents, but I'm taking this to mean greatest "administrations" that never happened.

Aaron Burr in 1800
Millard Fillmore in 1856
Horace Greeley in 1872
Jimmy Carter in 1980
Al Gore in 2000

Richard B. Cheney
Jack Kemp
Tom Ridge

No. Just no.

Cheney on domestic policy would have been refreshing.  Kemp was phenomenal.  Ridge was a great governor, much better than Fast Eddie.

They were all in favor of the rich at the expense of screwing ordinary Americans. BTW, you never finished responding to my Unusual Deaths thread.

Probably because I hadn't checked it.

Paul Wellstone*, Paul Tsongas, Eugene McCarthy, Hubert H. Humphrey, Ed Muskie, Mark Hatfield*, Frank Church, Jacob Javits* and yes...forgive me...John Kerry.



As usual, I find myself in agreement with JSojo, but I might add George McGovern, Mo Udall, and George Romney.

Maybe he meant at a different time? For instance, maybe he believed Ford would have done a good job in his second term (1977-1981), which Ford never got in RL.

Barry Goldwater, for sure. Maybe Curt LeMay. Possibly Harry Byrd.  At least, he has some good ideas on spending.

"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard. . . But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order."

So a lack of knowledge means I'm not welcome here? I've always wondered why there's a lack of Republicans on this forum and now I'm beginning to see why.
