Most evil American political leader ever?

[monkspider]

It was a tough call between Andrew Jackson, Reagan, and G.W Bush. Andrew slaughtered thousands of innocent native americans. Reagan's policies brought untold suffering to millions of people around the globe, and G.W Bush may yet prove himself to be the antichrist of biblical and nostradamus prophecies. I finally ended up going with Jackson for now, though I reserve the right to change my vote to G.W in the future.

IIRC, Henry Kissinger was never a politcal leader.

If that's not evil, then what is? You don't have to be on the level of Hitler to be evil.

Commies like to say that the US is an evil empire, Stinger.

Andrew Jackson was responsible for the adoption of (white) universal male suffrage in the United States. Up to the time of his presidency most states had limited suffrage to property owners, but Jackson lobbied hard to extend the right to vote to the lower classes.

How is Ronald Reagan responsible for widespread suffering to millions of people around the world? Is this a dig at the end of communism thing? The people of eastern europe overthrew their goverments because they wanted to. It was the communists who had already caused untold suffering throughout eastern europe.

George W. Bush has done nothing wrong yet . He has not yet actually attacked Iraq.

No Joe McCarthy option?

I'm writing in Jimmy Carter. He seems far too ethical -- it must be an elaborate, evil plan. He does have another term coming, after all.

Harry Truman for One Vision and two bombs.
George W. Bush comes very close though.

Woodrow Wilson was too much of a white supremacist for my taste, and hypocritical in his proposals for national sovereignty with the League of Nations -- sovereignty for white nations, but not for colonies of our "little brown brothers."

And of course, Joseph McCarthy was a paranoid, power hungry, hyper-patriot, maniac.

Where's my Aaron Burr option? How can you have Hamilton on there without including his killer?

[DinoDoc]

Shame he was never convicted of treason.

-- John Adams, for that whole Alien and Sedition Act thing. Trying to silence your opposition by exporting them is unacceptable.

-- Joseph McCarthy.

[CapitanGarlic]

Reagan.

eeewww...

Any poll such as this without Clinton shows that this is not a poll about evil.
