Teddy Roosevelt, Bill Clinton and George McGovern (if he won the election)
[QUOTE=Evilan;27559771]Except he didn't. Antifederalist = against the Constitution. He compared Federalists to Tories, Monarchists, and Royalists (aka the British who the US just rebelled against). He even started a group to combat Federalist opinions. There is very little evidence to say he supported the Constitution.[/QUOTE]
Except he did. He supported the new Constitution on the condition that a Bill of Rights be added. (And it was, and he was much pleased with the prospect that it would be added) He says this his correspondence with James Madison at the time, which is irritating difficult to find in full.

[quote=Jefferson]I am much pleased with the prospect that a declaration of rights will be added: and hope it will be done in that way which will not endanger the whole frame of the government, or any essential part of it.[/quote]

he was president for a goddamn month before dying. how awesome is that
Either George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. Yes, they did own slaves, but they had every intention to make it illegal. George Washington gave up becoming a dictator for his democratic ideologies. Thomas Jefferson may not have had the testosterone or badassery of Washington, but he was one of the most intelligent politicians ever.

I also liked Boris Yeltsin just for being so reasonable.

That's not very impressive.
[QUOTE=Bllasae;27567251]Herr derr, Lincoln was a Republican, too, you know. And your "argument" makes no sense because JFK is also one of my favorite presidents.[/QUOTE]
Although, he was quite different from today's republicans. Actually, Ronald Reagan was quite different from today's republicans. Both of them were reasonable (I say that in a respectful disagreement with conservative economics.) and were decent moral characters who weren't batshit crazy.
I always liked Truman.

Today's republicans should just call themselves the Ultra Conservative Party at this point. Legitimate Republicans are some of the best leaders the United States has ever had and the Conservatives are just slandering their works.

I wish Teddy Roosevelt was still around.
[quote]On January 30, 1835, what is believed to be the first attempt to kill a sitting President of the United States occurred just outside the United States Capitol. When Andrew Jackson was leaving the Capitol out of the East Portico after the funeral of South Carolina Representative Warren R. Davis, Richard Lawrence, an unemployed and deranged housepainter from England, either burst from a crowd or stepped out from hiding behind a column and aimed a pistol at Jackson, which misfired. Lawrence then pulled out a second pistol, which also misfired. It has been postulated that moisture from the humid weather contributed to the double misfiring. Lawrence was then restrained, [b]with legend saying that Jackson attacked Lawrence with his cane, prompting his aides to restrain him.[/b] Others present, including David Crockett, restrained and disarmed Lawrence.[/quote]
