Wow. That apple certainly fell far from the tree.

Not really. Ike was a member of the eastern liberal wing of the party. He could easily have run as a Democrat without raising eyebrows.

[abercrombie_guy_38]

How ironic:

I know a number of self-proclaimed Dems who detest Obama due to his (obvious) lack of experience. Apparently, they are not buying what he is selling.

energy, global warming, an aging population and America's standing in the world.

OMG!!! ANOTHER Ditzy girl who can't see the forest thru the trees!! It's embarrassing to be a female lately!!

They include lifelong Republican Tricia Moseley, a former staffer for the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, the one-time segregationist from South Carolina.

1) Why are not any Democrats identified as "one time segregationists"

2) Sen. Thurmond probably had 10,000 staffers over his career, not surprising one would be an Obamamaniac.

Maybe Ike’s staff did his staff work while he was playing golf.

These are the “repukes” you read about. I might like to have a beer with Obama, but to vote for him? I think not. He intends to undo everything conservative.

[RTO]

Research? Hell, these twits have Gorbasims about “global warming” ... that speaks volumes of their intellectual capacity for reasoned thought. If the global warming crusade has contributed any positive benefit, it must be to expose all the RINO infiltrators. Damn fools have no soul and no sense.

[bobby.223]

I would not drink a beer with hussein. no way.

[RTO]

Ike would not recognize, nor side with today’s Democrat Party... it would repulse him. Ike was a man of honor and principle... two qualities alien to modern Democrats.

Ms. Eisenhower has consulted for major companies doing business overseas such as IBM, American Express, Diebold Corporation and Loral Space Systems and she is a Senior Director of Stonebridge International, a Washington-based international consulting firm chaired by former National Security Advisor, Samuel "Sandy" Berger.

“...He intends to undo everything conservative.”

I would phrase that differently: He intends to undo everything American.

[okie01]

...the issues most important to her—energy, global warming, an aging population and America's standing in the world.

In other words, being honest, she's a greedy old fool.

OBAMAnation

Susan Eisenhower, president of the Eisenhower Group, reflects on her marriage to Russian scientist Roald Sagdeev

Academic Fellow of the International Peace and Security program of Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, trustee (since 2001)

Loral? The company that provided missile staging and guidance technology to the Chinese in exchange for funding Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign?

[RTO]

That’s clever... you need to copyright that one.

[RTO]

Is she a Bildeberger too?

[angelcindy]

OBAMACANT!!!

[kcvl]

Yes, that would be the same Loral.

“There’s a long and fine tradition of crossover voters.”

Crossover voters are people who realize they should have switched parties a while ago. It’s fine to move from one party to the other...ONCE. Reagan and Churchill switched, and I think no one doubts their ideological credentials. But people who switch back and forth are p-——s who want just to be able to say they voted for whoever was the more popular candidate at the time. These folks can go scratch.
