last great (good?) republican president

To the best of my knowledge, William Henry Harrison lost no U.S. soldiers. Wouldn't this make him the best U.S. president ever?

Hmm. He at least had the decency to die after only 30 days in office. You may be on to something.

Of course, he killed tons of indians, but that was before he was president.

There has never been a good Republican president and that includes Lincoln.

Of course, there has never been a good *Democrat* president either...

This is the sort of idiocy that will keep libertarians forever on the fringe.

So if it's so idiotic, you should be able to provide a counterexample, right?

[vulturesrow]

Basically natedogg is saying that there have been no good Presidents at all (if we are using the two existing parties as reasonable equivalents to the various evolutions of the two parties over US history). That is absurd and I feel absolutely no obligation to provide a counterexample. This sort of blind allegiance to your ideology makes it pointless for me to even try to discuss it, hence the idiocy comment.

In addition, how long has the Libertarian Party been around?

And yes, I think it's probably absurd to claim that the US has never had a good President. On that note, I now wonder just who, in the history of the office of President (or national equivalent) in the modern world, Natedogg might consider to have been "good".

do we really have to go all the way back to whig?

To answer OP's question, Reagan was the last popular one, Eisenhower was the last good one, and Teddy Roosevelt was the last great one.
