  1. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1984

    After viewing who voted for which candidate,I noticed two things. The member with the username Stalin voted libertarian. The member with the username Trotsky voted for Reagan. Stalin the libertarian, and Trotsky a Reagan man. Aint irony great!! All we need is a conservative republican...
  2. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1980

    My main criticism of the chart is that it doesn't include many things such as Immigration, affirmative action, and other such issues. Also included could be a few questions on political reading materials. For example I am pretty much with the GOP base on things such as affirmative action...

    Mitt Romney's Diagram Be warned the candidate's views will change, so this is only accurate for a limited amount of time. Here you go: Mitt Romney's political views: Wishing you well, his majesty, The Scandinavian Emperor
  4. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1980

    I just took the test, and I'm suprised by how leftward the diagram says I am, but no worry for I am comfortable with my views. Here's my diagram. Wishing you well, his majesty, The Scandinavian Emperor
  5. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1984

    Is voter participation here on these retrospective elections higher than during actual U.S presidential elections? I have a feeling it is, but it would be nice to know whether I'm right or not. Wishing you well, his majesty, The Scandinavian Emperor
  6. Fear, Loathing and Gumbo on the Campaign Trail '72

    Well Rumsfeld's inaguration speech seems quite blunt. Some of his executive orders seems interesting: - A directive to the Secretary of Transportation to implement a private partnership to develop high speed rail service - A call for the development of more nuclear power plants -A directive to...
  7. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1984

    It seems I am not on the winning side in most of these elections. I voted for Nixon in 1960, I missed 1964, Nixon 1968, Nixon 1972, Ford 1976, Carter 1980, and Mondale 1984. I honestly don't know who I would have voted for in 1964. I am leaning Johnson, but Goldwater is a possibility. Its...
  8. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1984

    As a fan of Mondale & Ferraro, I must plug a few books. The first is Ferraro My Story by Geraldine Ferraro The second is The Good Fight A Life in liberal Politics by Walter Mondale Mondale was unfairly mocked in his 1984 campaign for saying " I will raise your taxes." That to me was...
  9. Top 5 Best Presidents

    My Top 10 I know the standard is to put Teddy, FDR, Lincoln, Washington, Reagan, and Clinton in the top tier. I am not going to do that because that is obvious. I like all of them, except Reagan. I am going to do my top 10 Presidents, minus the usual top 5. My Top 10 List Richard Nixon...
  10. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1980

    As a supporter of Jimmy Carter, I proudly plug White House Diaries. The book is a conglomerate of President Carter's 4 years in the White House. I am only voting Carter because Ford's loss in 1976 led to Carter, and Carter led to Reagan. For me the ideal scenario would be for Ford to be...
  11. American King: Take Two

    Celebrity Generals HERE'S BUSH Other's included: Morgan Freeman, William Shatner, Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Charlie Sheen... Sean Connery actually fits the character of a Russian General. By the way, if they are doing politicians, then I want to see these people as Russian...
  12. Four More Years - The Presidency of Richard M. Nixon

    Well it appears when I declared that "Dwyer hasn't a chance," I was wrong. It seems Dwyer will be the GOP nominee, therefore Rumsfeld would be a good VP. Also, if Brown loses the primaries to Kennedy, I can see him going 3rd party, and throwing the election to the GOP'ers. Wishing you...
  13. A Shift in Priorities

    The Federal Reserve I'm going to presume President Wilson created the Federal Reserve in 1913. My question is what has it been doing in terms of monetary policy (inflation, deflation...) How has it dealt with the costs of the Mexican War, the Atlantic War, and other various conflicts in...
  14. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1976

    Gerald Ford 1976 It is a real shame Ford lost in 76 because he was really one of the last decent Republicans I would vote for. (George H.W. Bush was the last) He gets knocked as stupid and bumbling because of Chevy Chase on SNL. Yes his Whip Inflation Now (WIN) buttons weren't the best...
  15. Retrospective Democratic Primaries: 2008 (US)

    Why I like Hillary She has experience as Senator. She has good bipartisan relations on the Hill. She connects better to "blue collar" voters. (The people Obama said "clung to their guns and religion.") Also I would love to see Hillary as President, so she could rub it in the faces of the...
  16. Four More Years - The Presidency of Richard M. Nixon

    Who among the GOP to I support? I like Jack Kemp, Richard Lugar, John Huntsman, Edward Finch Cox,R. Budd Dwyer, Donald Rumsfeld. Cox hasnt a chance. Neither does Dwyer I'm leaning toward Kemp, but Lugar and Rumsfeld are good choices. However I'm going to have to say Richard Lugar is my...
  17. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1972

    Well, I will one up your campaign button with this. I found it here on Alt History.com I forgot who originally posted it, but as a huge NIXON fan, I just could not ignore it. Finally, A vote for Nixon is a vote for bringing Red China in from the cold, ending the Vietnam War with...
  18. 1996 Election - With a different GOP candidate.

    Cheney seriously considered running in 1996, but decided not to because of his health issues (heart problems) Cheney would probably do better than Dole, but Clinton would still win. A Cheney/McCain ticket would be able to give Clinton a run for his money. Wishing you well, his majesty, The...
  19. Swedish nuclear bomb

    Perhaps if Finland undergoes a Soviet backed coup, and openly joins Warsaw Pact, that would be a good encouragment to develop a nuke. The world reaction? USA helps Sweden develop bomb, and when Soviets collapse, Sweden gives up bomb(s). What to call a Swedish Nuke? The world's most...
  20. A Giant Sucking Sound: a President Perot TL

    I know Pat wont be the GOP nominee, but he does have quite a bit of grassroots support. With NAFTA killed in its crib, the issue of free trade ought to remain an issue among the parties. What are the candidates view's on tariffs and trade in general? What happened to President Richard's...
