Obama sure has a nack for attracting the daughters of ex-presidents.

Guess once you go black...

Well, if anyone could screw up a good thing It's the Democratic Party. Endorsements like this should be a warning that nominating Hillary would be a mistake.

Bill Frist: Guess once you go black...

I lol'ed...

/08ama!

There is something happening in America today. That we are not as divided as our politics suggest...and together we will begin the next chapter of the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea.

/YES WE CAN

Bill Frist: Guess once you go black...

Giggity.

One thing that gets me is that so many Hillary supporters think her experience or something will allow her to pass all the extreme (mandatory health care, etc.) programs she wants.

Even assuming she wins, clearly she won't win by more than a few percentage points.

What Clinton supporters dont' realize is that you NEVER EVER EVER EVER get massive government changes when you barely win an election. It takes landslide victories to enable a president to enact something like Social Security or Medicare. Ditto for universal health care.

Hillary has no shot at a landslide victory. Obama does.

robsul82: YES WE CAN

This. Times a million.

Typical, no mention of Ron Paul anywhere in the article! The media continues to conspire against him.

Crunchy Frog: robsul82: YES WE CAN

This. Times a million BILLION TRILLION ZILLION.

FIFY.

Also, (^THAT^)^{Hurricane Ditka}

An official endorsement too. Farkin A!

Let's hope all the independents realize McCain has it wrapped up and come vote in the dem primaries on tuesday.

That's just like, her opinion, man.

/Big deal
//gots me an opinion too.

So the fark what? Just because it's Ike's granddaughter, it doesn't mean anything. Hell, two of Reagan's kids didn't like their dad's policies.

Bill Frist:

Whether or not you like him (or her for that matter) it's hard to dispute the fact that she's polarizing and his campaign has become a movement.

but does anyone care about yours enough to let you have space in their national newspaper?

By modern GOP standards, Ike was a pinko libturd....Like most great Republican leaders, that peacenik atheist couldn't win a primary for dog catcher in a red state these days.

The_Sponge: So the fark what? Just because it's Ike's granddaughter, it doesn't mean anything. Hell, two of Reagan's kids didn't like their dad's policies.

Odd how kids of prominent Democrats aren't rallying behind McCain, Romney, Huckabee, etc.

But Reagans kids have defeacted from the GOP party. THis is someone who has been a die-heard republican her whole life.


Plus, given the news coverage to idiots like Chuck Norris, Hulk Hogan, Snoop Dogg and John Voight's endorsements, don't tell me you are getting up in arms about this one.

So Ike's granddaughter, Ike-chan, supports Obama. That is all sorts of good.

But the question about Ike-chan remains: Would you hit it?

King Something: But the question about Ike-chan remains: Would you hit it?


Eww dude, she's about as hittable as Laura Bush.

LOL "Libturd". That's new.

/FOR ME.

A lot is said about the "military-industrial complex"...Ike was the person who not only coined the phrase but he was also the person who created it.

As far as the "federal budget hemorrhages red ink and our civil liberties are eroded" just wait until Obama or Hillary "give" us medical care...

Interesting Newsweek article... (pops)

Dancin_In_Anson: As far as the "federal budget hemorrhages red ink and our civil liberties are eroded" just wait until Obama or Hillary "give" us medical care...

Or Mitt "you're going to buy health care at the barrel of a gun" Romney. Although I guess you're one of those GOPers who thinks that socialized medicine and other policies are acceptable as long as they benefit business.

Shaggy_C: Eww dude, she's about as hittable as Laura Bush.

Get Laura drunk and she'll beg for anal

Shaggy_C: Eww dude, she's about as hittable as Laura Bush.

So, very hittable?

LocalCynic: Or Mitt "you're going to buy health care at the barrel of a gun" Romney. Although I guess you're one of those GOPers who thinks that socialized medicine and other policies are acceptable as long as they benefit business.

I'm out there too...You do know who the biggest lobbyists for nationalized healthcare are don't you? (regardless of who is making the proposal)

Actually Ike was asked to run for president by the democratic party four years before he was asked to run for president by the republican party. He wasn't really a dyed-in-the-wool republican, and only ran because he thought that his military experience would help the country out with what he saw as the crisis in asia.

The more you know ....

Ike-chan is hittable in the Mrs. Robinson sense of the term.

/prolly would

Well, that was long before the "Southern Strategy" too. The single largest reason for the parties today.

LocalCynic: Although I guess you're one of those GOPers who thinks that socialized medicine and other policies are acceptable as long as they benefit business.

Now if we can just figure out a way to bomb Muslims via socialized medicine, the parties will be united.

So you go for the Stepford-deer caught in the headlights look, eh?

eeewwwww.

That is at least re-investment. It's taxpayer dollars being spent on taxpayers. It's not shipping dollars overseas like when you buy electronics, or clothes or most anything. It's not being spent on bullshiat wars, propping up phony governments, or subsidizing the health care of say Iraqis which we currently pay 100% for.

So you can stick this in both your pie holes.

Let him have his boogeyman.

Later this year, he'll be defending McCain. Biatching about health care is all the repubs are left with.

King Something: But the question about Ike-chan remains: Would you hit it?

Of course--but only in the missionary position, lights out, no talking, and then we push the twin beds apart again.

/I can't see it happening any other way with her.

Ike, wasn't he that crazy Military Industrial Complex conspiracy nut?

quatchi: Ike, wasn't he that crazy Military Industrial Complex conspiracy nut?

You have to be farking joking.

quatchi
Ike, wasn't he that crazy Military Industrial Complex conspiracy nut?

Yea, I hear he was soft on defense and didn't think the free market could properly regulate corporate influence on government. Total hippie liberal, didn't understand that if we don't fight them over there, we'll fight them over here. I don't think he supported the troops, either.

i don't know about laura particularly, but i find quite a few members of the bush family to be incredibly "hittable"

Robert Welch, the founder of the then ultra-right John Birch Society, considered Dwight D. Eisenhower a subversive. There are many references on the Web to his famous statements about this. Here's a sample.

Robert Welch and the John Birch Society (new window)

In 1961 Welch published The Politician (better known as the Black Book). In the book Welch accused Franklin D. Roosevelt of deliberately encouraging Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor. He described George Marshall as being "a conscious, deliberate, and dedicated agent of the Soviet conspiracy." Harry S. Truman had been used, "with his knowledge and acquiescence" by the communists who "controlled his administration". His most dramatic charge concerned Dwight Eisenhower who was said to have been "knowingly receiving and abiding by Communist orders, and consciously serving the Communist conspiracy, for all his adult life."

I think that it is not unfair to say that the political heirs of the John Birch Society, which was reviled by former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover as a dangerous subversive organization, are today the mainstream of the Republican Party.

Okay, I'm not a die-hard Democrat by any stretch of the imagination, but how in Hell does the Democratic Party still get lambasted for "spending" and budget problems these days?



Pres. Term / (Increase debt/GDP)

Carter(1) / -3.2%
Reagan(1) / +11.3%
Reagan(2) / +9.2%
Bush(1) / +15.1%
Clinton(1) / -0.6%
Clinton(2) / -8.2%
Bush(1) / +6.9%
Bush(2) / +3.9% (Projected)


Seriously. WTF is up with that?

Hmm..

Susan Eisenhower supports Obama.

Ann Coulter supports Hillary.

I'll answer:

The Democratic Party gets blamed these days because of:

1) A generation of adults remembers the 1960s to the 1980s, Democrats were basically the tax-and-spend party.

2) If they are in any danger of forgetting, Limbaugh, Fox Noise and the rest will gleefully continue reminding them today, despite that

3) Their own damn party is more guilty of it now.

So it is basically a case of nobody out there thinks for themselves and always thinks they know best, even when it flies in the face of fact.

They're not earmarks when my congressman does it, we need that military base.

robsul82: YES WE CAN

Crunchy Frog: This. Times a million.



Ha! Reminds me of this:

Dated, but still very funny.

So Obama is endorsed by the granddaughter of the last competent republican eh? Cool.

Unright: Hmm..

Susan Eisenhower supports Obama.

Ann Coulter supports Hillary.

It's a mad, mad world.

3) Their own damn party is more guilty of it now.


Bullshiat.

"Taxing"? Okay, but Spening? My ass. The republicans have vastly outspent the democrats in recent history.

And they have totally destroyed our balanced budget and ballooned our national debt (as the previous poster showed, the only two presidents in recent history to shrink the debet were the Carter and Clinton)
