Great list until you get to a few of the people that “claim” to be Republican. Should have a “Rino” list as well for McCain, Rice, Powell etc.

Wasn’t Roosevelt a Democrat? If so, how many others on this list are wrong?

The list is correct.

I guess for a short time he was a Republican.
>i>From Groton Roosevelt went on to Harvard College. He entered in 1899, the year before his father died, and remained until 1904. He took his bachelor’s degree in 1903 but returned to Harvard in the fall to serve as editor of the student newspaper, The Crimson. He was an above-average student at Harvard, but he devoted a great deal of time to extracurricular activities, and his grades suffered as a consequence. He was particularly interested in history and political economy and took courses in those subjects with outstanding professors. Although he was a competent journalist, his editorials in The Crimson were chiefly concerned with school spirit in athletics and show no sign of growing social consciousness or political awareness. However, he joined a Republican club in 1900, out of boyish enthusiasm for the vice-presidential candidacy of his distant cousin Theodore Roosevelt. In 1904 he cast his first vote in a presidential election for his cousin, who had become president after the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901. Afterward, however, Franklin joined his father’s political party, and he probably never again voted for a Republican.

You're confusing Teddy with Franklin (FDR).
Teddy was a Republican.

I have a feeling I’m going to be corrected all day on that post :-)
After I read the year I remembered, but when I hear roosevelt I think FDR. When I hear Teddy it’s Teddy Roosevelt.
I wish Freerepulic allowed one to edit posts.
