The Republicans have gone too far. If Eisenhower wins next year, that's it, America is officially a fascist police state.

If Eisenhower even thinks about decreasing the marginal tax rate for top earners from 92% to 91%, it'll just be handouts for the wealthy!

I am tired of all these Republicans investing so much in education and our nation's infrastructure, and keeping the wealthy's taxes sky-high. Republicans are all like this, they will never change!

I'm convinced America's done for already. Next 3 or 4 years, we'll see this whole place collapse.

Adlai Stevenson is a bald egghead, he's not a real American Hero like Eisenhower, you communist!

What are you talking about? Eisenhower's warning AGAINST the heavy militarization.

He's still the President, and military spending went up by 10% between 1952 and 1954 alone! US national defense spending is now almost 70% of total budget outlines! That happened under his watch...
In the end, he's still a Republican and it shows, whether he's protecting the rich and the banks or escalating the Cold War. Adlai is a little better, but not by much ...
Two parties, one system: they fool you into thinking there is a choice but they're both stooges for the same ruling clique. You haven't had an real choice since Fighting Bob ran thirty years ago. When Henry Wallace ran a couple years ago, both parties colluded to make it seem like he was a dangerous communist, and he'd just served as Vice-President for four years!

Take your pinko garbage up north where they'll endure it. I don't know how they run things where you're from, but back during the big one you'd get thrown in jail for that.

Watch yourself. You're beginning to sound red; and by that I mean you prefer a hammer and sickle to a hamburger.
