I see Obama as the reincarnation of Adali Stevenson—a flaming liberal who was twice toasted by the Republicans.
I think that is backwards. McCain can win by keeping the middle and winning the base. I can never recall an election, where the candidate has so much work to do with the base.
You're right. There weren't 20+ million Bush and McCain inspired illegals sucking down taxpayer derived benefits and turning the U.S. into a 3rd world rathole.
He is a flaming liberal, but he pretends to be a centrist. Most voters aren't smart enough to know. Unfortunately, what elections come down to is who the uninformed voters like better.
From what I’ve read, Doug MacArthur would have been a liberal Democrat. A brilliant military career does not necessarily translate into political savvy.
Not sure how George Patton would have governed.
LOL, that is probably a more precise way to state it this time.
If we have learned anything over the past sixty years, I hope it is that Keynsian economics results in perpetual cycles recessions and depressions.
So remember this folks, the next time you hear those “Draft Petraeus” calls. You’ll get another President Grant or President Eisenhower.
With the exception of Washington, generals generally don’t make good Presidents.
Keyensianism is just wrong.
The stagflation of the 1970’s, something that is not supposed to be able to happen in their world, proved it.
Google "Operation Wetback" you'll see how Ike dealt with his illegal immigration problem.
Yes. And a globalist.
Besides all those examples you posted, he was a democrat just before declaring his willingness to run for President as a Republican.
Some of us have not been fooled.
Was Dwight D. Eisenhower a liberal?
In today’s thinking, he was not conservative enough.
They’d be “Eisenhower Derangement Syndrome” running rampant in the GOP.
How old is Say's law?
“the actual evidence indicates that we’ve moved far, far to the Right.”
Overall? Are you kidding? Just from my childhood, regulations have gotten that much worse. I was allowed to ride my bike with no “protection”, ride in a truck bed, ride anywhere in a car without a seat belt (including standing up through the moonroof). My child will not be officially allowed to do those things.
It is LIBERALS who LOVE regulation, and thus, with all the increases in regulation, I can only conclude we’ve moved TO THE LEFT.
“Average folks gets most of their income from their jobs, and thus the tax rate on earned income is most important to them. Rich people get most of their income from the appreciation of assets, and thus the tax rate on capital gains is more important to them.”
Get rid of ALL of it.
It’s unconstitutional, anyway.
Well, he certainly had no problem stabbing Patton in the back a few times.
“almost three times higher under the Republican Eisenhower compared to our current President, or compared to the Democratic administration of Bill Clinton!”
And who completely reduced that rate? Hhhmmmmmm?
Ike’s dead. Wetbacks still live on, thanks in large part to Juan McCain.
Do a search on how Ike took care of the illegal immigration problem and then ask if he was a liberal.
He wasn’t. John McCain is. The comparison is insulting and misleading. Move on.
