o and you guys are aware that someone with Eisenhowers political views would be a Democrat or Indipendent in Modern times he'd be run out of the Republican party by their base its sad but thats how far the GOP has degenerated.
WORDS AFTER MY OWN HEART. it will be interesting to see some of these damocrats jump ship and change their thoughts (although it's too late) it'll simply be a game they play unless we truly have a man/woman come forth and continue to proclaim the free enterprise and capitalism.
@poodfeets i dont. He never stood up to Mcarthy in the 50s. Heck, he probably supported the witchhunts against liberals and queers and egghead liberals (that's where the latter term originated, btw)... so yea, except for this catchy jingo, and his service in WWII, I dont much like Ike....
Ike was no Reagan, but he did a fairly good job I would say. Ike did more for Civil Rights then the two Democrat presidents preceding him, in which they did basically nothing. Ron Paul's foreign policy views are similar to Eisenhower's for the most part. Most fervent anti-Communist President until Reagan. Ike even endorsed Reagan for Governor of California in his first election. He died before his second election though.
Reagan would be would be proclaiming "Tear down that entitlement mr. obama" . wish we had him here with us still. I'll be watching ron paul. heard good things about him so far.
@MsZeitgeist85 you are most definitely a troll. no person with any functioning synapses can ever say what you posted and mean it. ford and carter alone were quite possibly the most ineffectual presidents one could ever imagine in the last 100 years. anyway, im not wasting time here feeding a troll, try it on someone else.
I think it is funny that the three donkeys look like they are up to no good...
Reps. need to view the Dems. as asses...most of them are...pure asses...who do not care for the best interests of their country...how do I know? They are going to vote for a Socialist for President in 2008...most...not all...
No, the difference is liberals make it so you have the CHOICE in whether you want to believe in God or not. That's what liberals are for CHOICE and not being told what to do and who to be. I guess some people like having their every step planned for them... oh yeah and you're from Texas, against abortion yet no quarrel to taking the life of a grown man or women who may or may not of done a crime... I guess when the baby grows up its okay to abort them from this plant.
six months later, how do you like being force fed your life and your great grandchildrens by obama. evidently the republicans saw this socialist coming way before the damaocrats. the prerequisite to being a damocrat is political naivete.
i understand the hillary would be the first woman pressident, and barrack would be the first african-american, and those would be historic moments, but what americans need is a republican, and wise and experianced man like McCain. I am an elephant and i am proud of it.
A pity they don't make political ads like this anymore, one of America's Heroes - President, General of Armies, Supreme Commander D-Day, and Kansas farm boy .. rest in peace Mr. President and Mamie.
add should be like that today...very effective...but of couarse people today are smarter than just to look at an commercial add....we don't need all those negative hurtful adds...they just make everything more comfusing...things are waaay too complex nowadays.
