Did anyone see Rachel Maddow;s show where she went over Eisenhower's platform and compared it to the modern day teabagging Republicans? Absolutely hilarious.

I love that ... Eisenhower would never get anywhere in this GOP today.

I love the joke, "the political centre of the country has shifted to the right, and the GOP has shifted into a mental hospital"

Eisenhower complained about the military-industrial complex, making him too liberal to get the Democratic nomination today.

Some reasons why they don't like Ike.

1. He railed against the military-industrial complex
2. He said that only crazy Texas oilmen would want to mess with Social Security
3. FDR was his boss
4. He ended the Korean war
5. He sent troops to allow those darkies into Little Rock schools
6. He appointed Earl Warren as Chief Justice
7. He spent a lot of money on socialist projects like the freeway system and NASA
8. Kept the top income tax bracket at 90+%
9. France and the UK wanted to go to war with Egypt. He said no.
10. He admitted Hawaii as a state because he knew that some Kenyan would claim to be born there in 2 years
