Eisenhower Leaves Republican Party

3:21pm UK, Thursday August 21, 2008 The granddaughter of former US president Dwight Eisenhower says she is officially leaving the Republican Party. Sky News: First For Breaking News

Writing for the National Interest online, an internal Republican Party publication, Susan Eisenhower made the announcement.

Instead she will be an independent because she said: "The GOP (Republican party) of today bears no resemblance to Lincoln, (Teddy) Roosevelt or Eisenhower's Party, or many of the other Republican administrations that came after that."

She said "My decision came at the end of last week when it was demonstrated to the nation that McCain and this Bush White House have learned little in the last five years.

Susan Eisenhower prostituting her family name. I mean would anyone write an article if her name was Susan Jones? Of what consequence is this? Dare we mention that McCain’s own daughter has suggested she might vote for Obama?

Other than her last name being Eisenhower, what has this gasbag ever done?

She’s a disgrace.

I don’t think it matters. Look at RR’s kids, especially his son.

Ms. Eisenhower's extensive professional think-tank background and affiliations with the likes of Ted Turner look very distinguished and impressive at first glance.

Boiled down, however, she's a disarmament advocate......basically a peacenik with a good education and impeccable clothes, hairdo and manicure.

She's a perfect example of how left-wing ideologists infiltrate and cloak their true selves for decades in advocacy positions in DC and elsewhere. Having distinguished last names helps these moles immeasurably.

Ike wasnt the best of generals either. He played political hardball with the Brits all through WW2 while our boys died as a result.
Both Bradley and Patton did not care for the mans decissions. Especially Bradley after The Bulge.
But he made a hell of a clerk as MacArther said.

Isn’t it true that Ike had never voted until, and maybe not even then, he ran for President? Both parties were courting him, since he’d never mentioned his affiliation. Who is Susan anyway?

I thought she made her choice when she learned that Obama voted to refuse care for an infant who survived a partial birth abortion.

Just her kind of guy, right?

I’d say she’s always been a closet Democrat. She thought Bush mishandled the Caucuses crisis? It was Russia who attacked on Georgia? She supporting Russia?

THIS JUST IN:

Harry Truman’s niece’s brother-in-law has officially left the Libertarian Party to campaign for Lyndon LaRouche.

More on this story as it develops...

Ike is rolling over in his grave.

Look at Ron Reagan, Jr.

Besides that, she's always been a supporter of Obama. She cites some crisis half way around the globe as her reason for leaving. I'd put money down that it was Obama's pathetic performance at Saddleback that finally pushed her off the GOP bandwagon.

Thanks to all poster/researchers/commentators. Citizen journalists smacking down propagandist’s iron pyrite.

If she wants to support an American-hating empty suit, that’s her business. Good riddance. I shed no tears when Jeffords jumped ship, and I’m not about to again for her. The GOP will fill her place with someone else.

Expect to hear more of these non-stories as the media scours the landscape and begins turning over rocks for former RINO has-beens who having been touches by the dazzling glow of Obama’s visage have decided to turn their life around and vote for the sainted one
The fact that 99% of most people will have never heard of these people will mean little to Obama’s media press agents.
