Who is your favorite politician of all time?
1. Zell Miller from Georgia, great governor and senator, democrat, but a real republican.
2. Lincoln is another one of my favorites.

Al Capone. He's also my favorite gangster. Oh, yeah, they are all pretty much the same thing...

Ronald Reagan wins hands down. He's my personal hero.
I also have a lot of respect for George Washington. A lot of folks forget what a big deal it was for him to voluntarily surrender his power as Commander in Chief of the Continental army after the revolution and then do it AGAIN after his 2 terms as president. Before him, no person in history had voluntarily surrendered so much power. He did it without reservation and went back to Mt. Vernon to be a farmer. He set an amazing precedent for the peaceful transfer of power in the nation.

Perhaps that was not the most accurate term in your specific case. However,
reconstructed seems to aptly fit.

Ronald Reagan. He reminded me of my grandfather. They both always made me laugh.
My grandpa is well into his eighties now. Ronald Reagan is missed, he was a very special person and a good leader.

James A. Garfield, he fought corruption and made some huge changes. It's a shame that his life was cut short.
Favorite politician

Most of you are missing the point.
It said "politician" not favorite leader......
There is a huge difference. Bill Clinton is a great politician, Hilary, Barak, Ted Kennedy.....all total losers and charlatans as leaders.
My favorite leader was not a politician.. he was a soldier!

Gee G, I thought you had to be kidding with that avatar, I just figured if you were going for a joke, you might as well go whole hog.
And I don't take Paxil. My depression stomps Paxil into powdery fragments of defeat. Wish I could take it, I could get it free.
