  • 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!

  • Actually this ad is from 1952

  • 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.
