Adams and Nixon.

Nixon being very under-appreciated in these stocks, Watergate is probably the most partisan act ever committed by a President.

Didn't Jackson say something along the lines of "If a Democrat can't do the job, get rid of the job?"

Bad choice of Presidents to quote from, because of all the faux outrage and hatred regarding Jackson by the libs here.

Jackson definitely has to be up there in partisanship.

George Washington was obviously the least partisan.

As far as partisanship in letting coroporate greed crash the economy through deregulation are Hoover and Dubya. But ideological in pushing his tax cut through and not building a consensus around it was Reagan. Although Liberals were happy he got rid of communism.

Yeah, the modern liberal seems to have a problem with universal white male suffrage, which was arguably the best development in American history until 1865 (Thanks, Andrew Jackson!). Well, that and the inability of modern liberals to take history for the context of the times, rather than holding Jackson and Jefferson et al. to modern standards regarding behavior/etiquette.

My personal qualms with Jackson have more to do with Indian Removal, which I think counts among one of the worst events in American history.

I don't disagree, but at the same time it's odd how Jackson is singled out for Indian Removal, but most liberals are completely willing to paper over, I dunno, Grant/Hayes/Garfield/Arthur/Cleveland continuing the policy of Indian Removal and turning the whole process up to 11.

I don't disagree. Also, if I recall, Jackson had the bad habit of messing around with the bureaucracy.

Nixon and JFK. They aren't really identifiable figures in terms of ideas besides the fact that they are Democrats/Republicans.
