nice cue card reading there Ike....

Is there any presidential candidate that didn't use the word "change" in his campaign?
-
Isn't this way back when a soda used to cost a nickel? lol.
I like how Ike made a simple, respectful and succinct ad which didn't denigrate and mudsling.
-
@fellowbear lol, too true! I noticed that as well. Eisenhower complaining for a change in leadership would be a huge example of self-loathing!
-
haha !

high prices in the 50s? I presume high prices during that time are nothing like today.

@mr19932001 The mainstream democrats have failed us, just like the mainstream conservatives. I can't say that the gop is nothing but fear mongering, while Obama has talked about how doctors our cutting arms/legs for $, and the democrats saying that the republicans don't want women to get treated for cancer, and want people to die as a health care plan. If that isn't fear mongering, I don't know what is, not that the gop is innocent either. I can agree to disagree with you.

@CoolCoverBro Dr. Paul is an exception. He's a great guy. I do not agree with him on some issues, but the ones I do agree with him on (restrained foreign policy, legalization of pot and others...) I agree 100% on. I agree with you that is is mostely the individual at this point, but I do think that while a majority of dems are evil, they're still the lesser of two evils when compared to the mainly neo conservative republican party.

@mr19932001 What about Ron Paul? Plus, you think the democrats today are any better? Both parties are awful, you just have to look for the individual at this point.
The TV Ad is actually from the 1952 Presidential Campaign, not 1956. It would seem a little strange for the incumbent President in 1956 (Ike) to call for a change in leadership!
