Only Four (4) Presidents In The Last Century Have Won 50% of The Vote Twice

Not really

Indeed, stats are funny things...
by putting in the constraint of two terms it leaves out
Presidents who only served one term

Technically, the statement is wrong.
McKinley won both terms over 50%
one just happened before the turn of the century
and one after (1900).

Out of that group..
only Reagan and Eisenhower
got more votes in later elections

Warm the heart ? Yes it does


Of course if we remove the constraint of
two terms

Presidents over 50% in the Last Century

William McKinley
Theodore Roosevelt
William H. Taft
Warren G. Harding
Calvin Coolidge
Herbert Hoover
FDR
Eisenhower
Richard Nixon
Jimmy Carter
Reagan
George H.W. Bush
George W. Bush
Papa Obama

Oddly enough, the Democrats seem to be the worse at it
Warms the heart



Considering Papa Obama is the last Democrat to get
50% since Carter

it warms the heart, even more

they get confused.

but i think on cold war issues, kennedy actually did have moderate support.

but there will always be racist scum on the far right b//c that is the home of the kkk and friends.

but there will also always be loonies on the far left, too.

the problem is when the toons can't tell the difference between moderate and extreme because they use themselves as a gauge.

ultimately, that's the lesson of this election... the rightwingnut loonies aren't mainstream and most people aren't interested in their radical agenda. that's why people like mourdock and akins didn't win.

Racism, no doubt

I know the left likes to live off the work of others
but you are big girl now , you can do it

If you find anything wrong
let me know

Since it is true...
Good luck with that,

The home of the KKK was the Democratic party. They have never forgiven Lincoln to this day. Hell, until recently the late Democrat Sen. Byrd was still serving in the Senate and had been KKK.

Indeed
Of course, he did vote against the 1957 Civil Rights Act,
but being racist is nothing new for the Democrats.

The only difference today, he would just have to pick a
different race....



the Democratic Party is the party of the three "S'

Slavery, Segregation and Socialism

You may as well buy her her birth control while you're at it.

Too funny....


No doubt

It is her "right" too,,,

We seem to lose "real liberties" when conservatives are in power. By "real liberties" I am talking about those that pertain to "real people" not "fake people" like corporations.

Bar none, you folks do your very best to suppress rights to due process, privacy, free speech and voting.

Byrd was unique. He was a dixiecrat who stayed with the Democrats and renounced many of his former views.

But like a good conservative, you folks never let a good bone go.

maybe you should hold off on saying that Marc until his next 4 years are done...many things can happen between now and then.....and Remember....many Democrats were disappointed in the guy.....and look at the trash that was running against him......if somebody of Quality would have ran against him, we would probably have a new President today.........

Of course you know the reason was no 3rd party taking 5 to 10% of the vote right? There have been plenty of Presidents who would have taken over 50% with out a 3rd party candidate taking so many votes.
