The 1932 Election

[PBrunsel]

Hoover! I love that guy!

[PBrunsel]

Even if I am the only man that votes Hoover, i'm glad that I did!

[PBrunsel]

There will be a few others

There may be many more then you think. Herbert Hoover was a great man.

[PBrunsel]

Hoover was a good president. He realy tried to get us out of the Depression.Durring the depression Hoover started the Farm Board to help farmers. He started the Federal Reconstruction and Finance Comitee to make sure that men like Henry Ford did not lower workers wages. He encouraged the Red Cross to feed the starving and even donated his own money to their cause.

[PBrunsel]

Yet the New Deal didn't work.

[PBrunsel]

World War II got us out of the Depression. The New Deal just gave us a deficit.

[PBrunsel]

In 1934 a friend of Herbert Hoover said to him, "I bet you would of approved of all the things Roosevelt has." "I would have," Hoover answered back.

WWII did officially end the depression, but unEmp went downward once the new deal was put into effect.

That is because FDR made socialist work programs that cost a fortune and we can never pay off.

[PBrunsel]

Hoover had the right idea: Give tax breaks to business and the people with money. That will lead to businesses hiring because people have money to buy their products.

[PBrunsel]

Reagan's trickle down economics worked.

[PBrunsel]

I dislike both the deficits created under FDR and Reagan.

[PBrunsel]

We need at least one more vote for Herbert Hoover!

[PBrunsel]

I strongly support all Republicans to vote Hoover in this poll.

[PBrunsel]

The Communists would have been subdued by the army if they had even tried.

[PBrunsel]

Hoover would of won without the bonus army.

[PBrunsel]

2 landslides in a row, winning 2 states in total out of 2 elections would SERIOUSLY hurt them though IMO.

Hoover won 6 states in 1932: Pennsylvania, Conneticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Deleware.

nonononono, you misunderstand me PBrunsel, if the results on this poll were the national results, Roosevelt would have won every state (worked out by an adjustment). If this were to happen, followed by the actual 1936 election, the Republican reputation would be seriously tarnished imo.

Oh, I see. I can be thick sometimes!

[PBrunsel]

Hoover could have fixed things.

We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

[PBrunsel]

A good reason Hoover was great guy:

Herbert Hoover was a big hearted man who was always open to help the poor and weak. He is known as "The Great Humanitarian" and "The Defender of Innocent Children." He fed millions of Bulgarian Children in the CRB Relief Program. He said "Damn the fortune," and went off to help children. Does this sound like a bad man?

Durring the depression Hoover started the Farm Board to help farmers. He started the Federal Reconstruction and Finance Comitee to make sure that men like Henry Ford did not lower workers wages. He encouraged the Red Cross to feed the starving and even donated his own money to their cause.

In 1932 two children from Detroit had hitchiked to Washington to get their father out of prison. Their father had been arrested because he couldn't pay his mortgage. Hoover was so touched by the boy's treck that he freed their father, payed their mortgage, and gave them some money to help them get food and clothing. This man was a caring, big hearted, warm, and great person.

We in America today overlook the great man Herbert Hoover was because we are too blind to see that this man, born in a three room house in West Branch, Iowa, is one of the greatest men whoever lived in the United States.

Herbert Hoover was a great ex-President. He helped feed millions of Finnish people, out of his own pocket, when the Soviet-Finnish War broke out. After World War II Hoover's humanitarian work was not over. Prtesident Truman sent him on a mission to feed Europe. He was able to save millions, if not hundreds of milllions, of Eurpeans from starving to death. After JFK was shot, Hoover sent a telegraph to LBJ saying, "I am open from any job from Presidential advisor to Senate page boy." Hoover wanted to help Johnson in this moment of crisis.

In 1953 Hoover was appointed by President Eisenhower to reorganize the executive branch. The "Hoover Commison" saved taxpayers millions by trimming the Federal Government.

Herbert Hoover sadly died in 1964. The entire nation greived the death of a man who had been such a philanthropist that he was hated. The nation cried and wept for a man who had lived the American Dream. It is Hoover who should be honored, and not insulted.

I agree. Hoover was a president who didn't do much, but he was a good man.

[PBrunsel]

Thanks PBrunsel, some interesting facts I didn't know about Hoover listed there. He was obviously a good guy.

Though I still would've voted for FDR.

Thanks for telling me they were interesting facts. I sometimes bore my friends with them.

[PBrunsel]

Poor Hoover, the scapegoat of the recklessness of the teens and 20s.

That's right.

[PBrunsel]

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

John Wayne, Wyatt Earp, Henry Wallace, Lou Hoover, Mamie Eisenhower

[PBrunsel]

Bill Bryson's an Iowan as well... and I knew that Wallace was an Iowan.

It looks like there are many famous Iowans.

[PBrunsel]

...more than famous people from Delaware

I'm aware of those who signed the constitution.
