Politicians You Respect but disagree with

(1/4) > >>

Lincoln:
Somewhat of an awkward thread. I'm curious to see people's views on politicians they respect but disagree on some points with. Try to provide details.

Ronald Reagan - I admire the raising of the drinking age, his absolutely incredible team behind him, and the concept of Reagonomics which helped rid North America of Stagflation.

Moammar Gadhafi - I respect that he wants to unite Arabs, that he wants peace between Israel + Palestine, and that he stands up for what he believes in. Also, he was smart enough to know to give up his WMDs, although he should have the right to own them if other countries do.

Moqtada Al Sadr - I respect his standing up to Americans in Iraq.

Jimmie Walker - Has great points about the double standards in which Blacks use reverse racism.

I'll think of more later. I'm interested to see other people's lists.

Pat Buchanan, he basically has ideas, and he sticks to them, even though his former party soften up, he stayed his course. I can never agree with him, English only, anti-immigrantion, and so on since it  is very anti-Latino, but I do respect him opposing the Patriot Act, (I heard a whole speech on his true opinion) and his honesty.

Arnold, his the governor, and his not fucking up. Hell, his working for free. I don't agree with some of what he does, but, he does have a advisors from both parties, and listens to both sides, and it shows.

Do you believe that Pat Buchanan was the infamous "Deepthroat"?

Trauma-san:
I really don't have a problem with Bill Clinton, he seems like a nice guy, even though I think he's in some deep shit behind the scenes and I don't agree with hardly any of his policies.  He's kind of shady, but most of the time he does the right thing, I guess that means I respect him.  Charisma goes a long way with me and he's very charismatic.  

ITW [the irish boy]:
i think tony blair is a decent guy behind it all, he does what he thinks is right, even if i dont agree with it. colin powell i respect too.
