I am just bringing back activity!

All of you are ignorant, flat tax is the best!

@Jethro Wrong! In the middle ages they never had cell phones and cars and the techonology we have thus you are wrong and ignorant.

@ They could have ENDED the Civil War and the Depression had Buchanan sent down troops to S.C. and Hoover had taken less interventionist policies. Anyway, I like Mitt Romney because I like his policies and it is that hard for you to understand? Because honestly I am surprised you asked when I am obviously conservative.

And its not like we built a new capital and White House....

Wrong. The Civil War started under Buchanan's watch. South Carolina seceded from the Union while he was in office. Buchanan did nothing. Herbert Hoover could have easily fixed it, but he screwed things up by signing a high tariff and then intervening in the economy.

Because starting a Civil War and runing the global economy for over two decades has had less of an impact than some small war that ended in a draw (although that is open to debate).

In fact, typically presidencies' records go up. People said Hoover was the worst at his time, just like they do now in Bush's time, but they are wrong because it is too early to say.

Look how stupid all of you are. None of you mention James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, or Herbert Hoover.
