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.

Ms Eisenhower was one of the original "Republicans for Obama"

She's middle aged and must be called Mizz? That tells me she is a liberal. "Republicans of Obama" is the code phrase for "Liberals for Obama".

[pissant]

How many times is the MSM going to publish this breathless article about a vile lib voting for a vile lib?

[deport]

I think you’ll find that Julie Nixon married to David Eisenhower [Susan’s brother] also contributed/supports Obama... Kidna keeping it in the family it seems

YAWN

Amazing how they present this as “news”. She has been playing a Dem on TV for years now. Nothing new here.

Her old man would have understood just as Churchill did.She should check out the piece that Churchill wrote about moslems and mohammedism.Vicious....and 100% correct.

[G.Mason]

That's nice.

All I want to know is if she's good looking, and is she giving anything away for free?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Right. Churchill was a visionary. Ahead of his time.

Oh damn, this is going to influence so many voters to switch to Obummer that the pooch is officially screwed — we’re like toast. /sarc

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Good call....

[Verginius Rufus]

Well, her grandfather was a Communist anyway...or at least Robert Welch thought so.

“Good riddance”

Every election she tries to get her name in the news.
She and her Russian husband have always been liberal.
Cut the phony act Susan.

The granddaughter of former US president Dwight Eisenhower says she is officially leaving the Republican Party

Susan, I remember Eisenhower, and I was and am proud that he was my president. Dwight Eisenhower served proudly as president and as a republican. Susan, though you may have the same last name, you are no Eisenhower.

The way to bring about change, in anything, is not to abandon it, but to stay with it through thick and thin, and effect change from within. As it stands right now, Susan, you have made yourself a lot more irrelevant than you have been up to now.

Actually, Ike was her grandfather. Her father, John, was a Kerry supporter in 2004, after having changed his life-long party registration to independent after we went into Iraq in 2003.

What a shocker. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............

I don’t think Eisenhower was faced with the same social issues we have today except he was involved in early civil rights.

He would have probably been about like Bush and most of the GOP on the War on Terror.

Eisenhower did not have to deal with crazy taxes, whacky stifling environmental legislation, tort reform, infanticide, identity privilege-redress-victimhood, homosexual marriage.

He was quite tough on illegal immigration.

This lady is simply making believe.

[Dixie Yooper]

Susan Eisenhower has been such a political mastermind and power broker for so many years. I don't see how the GOP can survive without her...sarc-off

“She supporting Russia?”

She’s married to a Russian with ties to Russia’s space program. So yeah, she’s on Putie Poot’s side.
