84. FDR, Truman, LBJ, Carter, all won elections
Edited on Thu Oct-30-03 11:35 PM by realpolitik
The most liberal of them won 3 in a row. You are generalizing from a very small sample, if you do not include a few of the most significant presidents of the last century.

Reality is not what Roger Ailes or Karl Rove says it is. It is what happens where the ballot meets the box. And if a real liberal ran on an unappologetic platform of a new fair deal, voters would come out of the woodwork, there are no American problems that a Kennedy new frontier approach would not be able to solve-- Few injustices that a Truman Fair Deal would not be able to rectify, few market problems a bit of FDR would not stop post haste. America need the best of LBJ, FDR, Truman and Carter's understanding of business, social and diplomatic reform to even begin to start attempting to bail us out of the fatal course our idiot boy king has set us on.

And don't get me started about education.
