William Jennings Bryan. Not only was this loon a rabid theocrat (He defended the state of Tennessee in the Scopes Monkey Trial, defending the Butler Act which forbade the teaching of Evolution), he was also a foaming at the mouth socialist. He advocated the abolition of the gold standard and the nationalization of the railraods.

The democratic party nominated this crackpot THREE TIMES, and, fortunately, he lost every time.

Jennings Bryan was a socialist loon who happened to be an outstanding orator, and made it way farther in politics than he ever should have gone on the strength of his speeches alone.

Remind you of anyone...??

A disgruntled supported wrote the Wizard of Oz about him. He was the Lion that roared but had no courage. The yellow brick road represented the gold standard BTW, The Tin man- The factory workers; Scarecrow-The farmers and The Wizard- A president that had to idea what he was doing.
