I Like Ike! (Well, Sometimes.)

Here's a quote from a speech delivered by President Eisenhower at the Fourth Annual Republican Women’s National Conference on March 6, 1956:

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Remind you of anyone today?

Another thing I like about Ike: During the eight years of his presidency, from 1953 to 1961, the top marginal tax rate was 91 percent. (It was 92 percent the year he came into office -- so I sometimes like Harry, too.)
