I've told you before

Something that no one thought possible in the 1950s is true today Dwight Eisenhower is a veritable quote machine.

Kos via David Sirota found this incredible chestnut from Ike, from more than 50 years ago:

"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 [a] 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


I don't like Ike, I love Ike!
