Dems have 3. FDR, JFK and Truman. As for Lincoln, even being the first Republican President, both parties now sorta see him as their own.

Since this thread was resurrected...Are you 4 realz? CVN-71 ain't the "FDR"

However didn't he admit in his book to sleeping with 16 year old boys, not sure that sends the right message.
This forum needs an "ugh, nasty, want to agree, but 'Like' just doesn't cut it" button.

I don't know much about him but did look it up and he did have a relationship with a 16 year old. Certainly not the most endearing quality but given the age of consent is usually 16 not the child moleststion that many accuse him of, and likely illegal at the time just because it was a homosexual relationship. A but creepy but we have had ships named after Thomas Jefferson and others so he has some company.

Jefferson did far, far more for this country but he has a messy personal history as do several others we have named ships for, that was the point.
