Wise words from a Republican..

Eisenhower:

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas.5 Their number is negligible and they are stupid.

6. That would be a wonderful quote

on a billboard. In fact, I'm sure we could find other great quotes from repubs that sell our case. Maybe then real repubs would drop these Bushies and demand their party back.

7. Then you'll love this one..

another one from Ike:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953

8. Eisenhower is 90% correct on that.

The scary thing is that it would be 100% if you took out the last sentance.



Gotta hand it to the Brits.

9. Lee Harvey Oswald wrote a "Mr. Hunt" a nice note.

Of course, it could've been addressed to E Howard Hunt of the Central Intelligence Agency.

There's no question about this note: George Herbert Walker Bush talked to the FBI withing MINUTES of President Kennedy's assassination.
