which non-living politicians are posters most like?

[WalterMitty]

i think my views are very similar to robert kennedy's.  i have a passion for social justice.

 rfk was also no friend of the unions.  while he was more committed to the poor than almost any other 20th century politican, he prefered expanding economic oppurtunites over giving handouts (sadly, the dems lost their way on that issue)

the only major disagreement i have with rfk was his dove-like views with regards to vietnam.  however, i must say im not convinced he was as opposed to the war as he pretended to be.  throughout his career he was a hawk.  he jumped on the anti-war bandwagon in the hopes it would carry him to the white house.

I think I'm a mix between Hubert Humphrey and FDR. I have Humphrey's personality, but I have FDR's political tact. (Sorry if that sounds a bit snobbish, it's not intended to).

This should be interesting.

I would like to consider myself somewhat similiar to Bill Clinton. I recognize the benefits of government-reducing reforms and the passing of the era of unions, but feel that it is still possible and desirable to have a policy that gives the poor and an equal opportunity to succeed. On foreign policy, I am no isolationist but also feel that the neo-cons are foolhardly ideologues whose strategy is doomed to fail and do unspeakable damage in the process.

Theodore Roosevelt.

He die?  

I don't know enough about politicians in the 19th century to make a decent judgment about most of them, but for the 20th I'll say Truman.  Foreign poicy is my big thing and I highly approve of things he did like the Marshall Plan.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

I'm basically like a reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln.

[Dr. Cynic]

Do you look like honest Abe? Just Curious.

I was unaware of the fact that Bill Clinton was dead.

Regarding the question at hand, I honestly have no idea.  I have pretty good senses of what some historical politicians were like but not really enough to pin myself to one of them.

[Dr. Cynic]

God, I hope not!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

John Lilburne
Keir Hardie
Tommy Douglas

And so on.

You get the idea

Putting Honest before Abe is a disgrace to the word "honest".

I didn't know he was dead...but him being the Comeback Kid I guess he'll be back from the Dead soon!

[??????????]

I like to think of myself as a reincarnation of Lyndon B. Johnson.

The whole violent streak you have does fit well with him.

Hah! LBJ helped the poor; you laugh at the poor

[PBrunsel]

Herbert Hoover, though he was only a politician for 4 years.

An actual politician like me would have to be William E. Miller.

[RReagan4EVER]

 The Great Ronald Reagan.

[M]

Edmund Burke in that I believe the job of the elected official is to govern according to what he believes is right, not what the majority of the constituents want. Winston Churchill in that any surrender to a dictator merely empowers him and whets his appetite, while weakening dmocracy; only a difficult struggle can bring evil to heel. Ronald Reagan in that I believe very strongly in the strength and character and fundamental rightness of tis country, as well as his determination to confront evil. Woodrow Wilson in that the only safe world is a free world, democracies are quite stable and do not war with one another. Vladimir Jabotinsky and Menachem Begin "liberal" Zionism (ie, nationalist, non-socialist).

[ilikeverin]

FDR, with less socialism and no huge physical disabilities

But we're both 'higher' class liberals.

Although I have no clue.

Anyone care to venture a guess?

(note: I was compared to Ralph Nader and Tom Vilsack in the other thread)

[JohnFKennedy]

See the name .

You remind me of B. Gratz Brown, the 1872 Democratic Nominee for President.

You most match Jefferson Davis or Jospeph E. Brown with your calls for states's rights and your strong Southern nationalism.

[Dr. Cynic]

Who do you guys think I'm like. I know who I think I'm like, but what do you guys think?
