15. And even stranger....Reagan was basically forced to put Bush on the ticket...

kind of reminiscent of the Palin pick, even though McCain is still trying to convince us it was his choice!!

16. K&R because every DUer needs to read this and think about it

Just like most DUers I consider myself a political junkie and a walking encyclopedia for less interested friends and family and the thought of this has never crossed my mind.

I literally got chills reading it and then thinking about it.

I would say Eisenhower is the last Republican.....but wasn't Nixon his Veep??

SCARY!

[Jennicut]

17. Nixon was VP then. So its 1929. Very monarchy -like.

[Sebastian Doyle]

18. Yep. And the man who introduced Eisenhower and Nixon, and put the ticket together

Was none other than Prescott Bush


Nixon & Grandpa Bush


Ike & the old Nazi funding bastard

[rvablue]

20. NO. FREAKIN. WAY.

Unbelievable!

It really makes you think and feel that we're just cogs.

And thanks for the schooling...will add this to my "encyclopedic knowledge" which I'm afraid isn't so encyclopedic anymore!!!! :)

[Sebastian Doyle]

21. Way

Nixon owes his entire political career to the Bush Crime Family. They recruited him to run for Congress in 1946. And Ike was one of Grandpa Prescott's "golfing buddies".

19. 1952?

on edit: I thought tricky dick was a second-term VP...

it's perfect that it was hoover..
