David Sirota has uncovered one of the greatest political quotes I have read in recent times:
""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
That just about gives me chills. It is like Ike were criticizing the current administration from the grave. Either that or he had a time machine that allowed him to glimpse the terrifying truth of the Republican party in the next millenium.
