FDR was the consumate democrat. He was public spending personified. He was the beginning of the world's love affair with using only half of the Keynesian economic model, and thereby breaking it altogether. Every major public spending money sinkhole we have today was initiated in FDR's administration. The federal agencies trebled or quadrupled in number under his watchful eye.
The Supreme Court kept knocking down his crazed spending measures. He threatened to pack it, and one justice flipped sides on a few major cases, becoming the "switch in time that saved 9." He is why term limits were introduced.
Erm, I mean he was a great man to be sure, but he was certainly a democrat.
