My Top Five Leaders of the 20th century and their 21st century counterparts
1. FDR
2. JFK
3. RFK
4. James Earl Carter
5. Bill Clinton (before Hillary ran for President)

1. Al Gore
2. John Edwards
3. John Kerry
4. Russ Feingold
5. Dennis Kucinich

The order is irrelevant -- these are, IMO, honorable folks who tried, at personal cost, to better the lives of all Americans and the World with bold, just, and innovative ideas.

Notice, nowhere do Obama or Hillary appear on this list. Just thrown out there for everyone to think about.

1. The reason that Obama and Hillary are not on YOUR list is because
you didn't put them on there. :eyes:

BTW, My list doesn't look anything like yours, and John Edwards sure didn't do anything to get on it......


This is kind of funny. :rofl:

2. Fact is, that's just how the list worked out

-- as a result of the times I've lived in. Nothing manipulated or preordained, just one person's honest opinion of the way they see things.

I didn't ask or demand you or anyone else agree. Fact is people of principle can't/won't/don't modify their principles and/or beliefs to win popularity contests.

So, while I respect you right to post your own list and believe in it/defend it/etc., I can only ask you will afford me and others the same respect.
