Eisenhower quote from Taegen Goddard's Political Wire
Historical Quote of the Day

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

-- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54. Quote found by David Sirota.

1. I love that quote...
I heard him say it on Franken today and I wanted a hard copy of it...Even a favorite of Repukes today would think that they were crazy...if Ike were around today he would have left the party, no doubt
