The 1932 Election

[??????????]

Name someone famous from Montana. Now that's a difficult one I imagine.

[??????????]

Correction to my last post. Gary Cooper is from Montana.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Who?

Gary Cooper, the actor.

[Gustaf]

Gary Cooper, the actor.

What you talkin' bout Gustaf?

I always mix up Gary Cooper and Cary Grant...isn't Cooper in the Hitchcok classic, with the plane? Or is that Grant?

No, that's Cary Grant.

It always happens...High Noon, now that's Cooper at least. And also Mr. Deeds.

Delaware won the NCAA Division II Football championship this year.

That's fairly famous. Isn't Joe Biden from Deleware.

He was at the game when the Hens won the DII!

Delaware won the Division I-AA not Division II. I believe D-II was Grand Valley State.

Same idea...Curt Anes used to be on Grand Valley state, he was good.

A Famous person from Montana: Jeanette Rankin, the frist woman to serve in Congress.

I think the guy who played Stifler in American Pie is from Iowa.

FDR.  He did so much for this country. People did need help, like my grandma and grandpa as young kids.  FDR put jobs and dignity back into America.  He was a strong wartime leader compared to the isolationist Hoover.  Our country could have been run by Nazis if it werent for FDR.

I don't think the Nazi invasion would have happened. Hoover's trickle down economics would work, just like it did in the 1980's.

Hoover was a famous Iowan. How many famous Iowans can anyone here name?

Bix Beiderbecke was from Davenport, Iowa. (Cary Grant died in Davenport, Iowa.)

[King]

Hoover! The New Deal was pure socialism - the beginning of the end for the American ideal.

[PBrunsel]

Ha, my days as a firm supply sider.

[A18]

A firm supply sider who thought raising the top tax bracket from 25% to 63% was trickle down theory?

Hoover invented trickle down economics, but in a Depression that rarely works. In a recession it's a chram because most people have jobs.

[PBrunsel]

He is a partisan republican, why do you bother debating?

Good 'ol ShapeShifter. We never did get along.

I wonder how many people would think that of me today?

[Erc]

He started the Federal Reconstruction and Finance Comitee to make sure that men like Henry Ford did not lower workers wages.

Oof...well, my opinion of Hoover just went down a notch.

Wages may have been higher...but 25% unemployment isn't the right price to pay for that.

Raising taxes on the rich isn't trickle down.

And the only member of Congress to vote agaisnt the Declaration of War on Japan after Pearl Harbor.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanette_Rankin (I know it's a publicly edited Encyclopedia, but I've read about a Republican Congresswoman from Montana being the only one to vote agaist that declaration in other places as well, so I'm sure that my above statement is correct).

She served two terms in the House. Amazingly that allowed her to vote against both World Wars. A few other people opposed World War I.

Chet Huntley, Myrna Loy, and Brent Mussburger were all from Montana.   Ann Landers, Abigail Van Buren, Mamie Eisenhower,  James Van Allen and Henry Wallace were from Iowa, if you're keeping score.
