I voted for Madison. He was the one president that saved our asses when we really need it. It is a know fact that we got beat in the war of 1812. The british had a 2000 ship fleet, we started out with 20. We consistantly got our butts handed to us in evey battle. The british actually burned the Capitol building. Doll Madison saved the portrait of Washington and Old Glory. James Madison is our only president to actually come under enemy fire. He took comand of a local militia during the evac of our capitol. The only battle we really won was after the war was over in New Orleans. Andy Jackson was the General. Madison knew we were beaten and sent Jon Quincy Adams to get a peace treaty with the english. Our country would be a whole different place if not for Madison. This Is one of the last presidents that put the people before himself.

HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
