I'm a liberal and I'd vote for EISENHOWER in a second

You know why he wasnt a right winger?

Because the right winger philosophy is a proven historical failure.

:clap2: that was so clever.

Go look at what coolidge did while president.

what happened under his watch?


Go look at what bush and team spouted and look what happened under their watch.


The right wing philosophy has crashed the world economy twice now in one life time.
Okay. I see you want to be debunked. Alright let's begin.

Give me what you got.
 
Calvin Coolidge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. (July 4, 1872 – January 5, 1933) was the 30th President of the United States (1923–1929). A Republican lawyer from Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. His conduct during the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputation as a man of decisive action. Soon after, he was elected as the 29th Vice President in 1920 and succeeded to the Presidency upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative, and also as a man who said very little.


samll government bullshit crap which results in giving the keys to the wealthy.

Industry and trade



... it is probable that a press which maintains an intimate touch with the business currents of the nation is likely to be more reliable than it would be if it were a stranger to these influences. After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world. (emphasis added)



President Calvin Coolidge's address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Washington D.C., January 25, 1925.[107]


During Coolidge's presidency the United States experienced the period of rapid economic growth known as the "Roaring Twenties". He left the administration's industrial policy in the hands of his activist Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, who energetically used government auspices to promote business efficiency and develop airlines and radio.[108] With the exception of favoring increased tariffs, Coolidge disdained regulation, and carried about this belief by appointing commissioners to the Federal Trade Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission who did little to restrict the activities of businesses under their jurisdiction.[109] The regulatory state under Coolidge was, as one biographer described it, "thin to the point of invisibility."[110]
 
Deregulation and a lack of inforcement of exsisting laws caused both crashes.


They are what the right wing lives buy.

Historically failed ideas.
 
Then the left did glass steagal and we got a booming middle class.

Until you fools deregulated yet again
 
So what does the right wing today clamour for?


what they call small government.

Which in reality is deregulation and utter failure.


BTW Coolidge was from Mass too

The Birchers labeled him a communist sympathizer. Of course in those days republicans did not pay attention to crap like that unlike today where they have embraced the insanity.

Didn't Eisenhower nationalize a steel mill? Let us not talk about that 90% tax rate.

On many of the other issues, I like Eisenhower, but you got to admit there was something socialistic/militeristic with his approach to government.
 
there was something human about his actions which is why you dont liek them.
 
Meanwhile....the current crop of the GOP has a guy who wrote a HOW TO manual for picking up hos.


A Republican candidate for governor in Montana also turns out to be an expert on “illicit pleasures” like gambling, drugs an prostitution.

In a recent interview, Neil Livingstone, who bills himself as a counterterrorism expert, admitted to The Associated Press that he had been on a yacht where his wife was “the only non-hooker on board.”

While mention of that incident was scrubbed from from the biography on his official website, the Montana Cowgirl Blog uncovered a 1997 manual Livingstone wrote to advise business travelers how to solicit prostitutes and find drugs.



The chapter (PDF) on “Adult Entertainment Districts” has recently been passed around among concerned family values Republicans in Montana.

“Never give the hooker your real name,” Livingstone writes. “On the one hand, some experts say that you should never take a hooker back to your hotel room or apartment, as this invites trouble. On the other hand, your hotel is the safest place for a tryst.”

“Select a high quality brothel,” he advises. “Patronizing a high quality, and therefore generally more expensive, brothel or escort service is always preferable to picking up a bar girl or streetwalker.”

Other sections warn that “double pleasure can be double trouble” and to avoid “places that charge by the hour.”

The guide goes on to give businessmen an education on dealing with illicit drugs while traveling.

“Be aware that drugs in some countries are purer than those in the United States,” Livingstone says. “In many countries, especially in Asia, narcotics are not cut as much as they are in the U.S. Thus, doses are much stronger.”



“Moreover, if you are visiting a nation in which drugs are plentiful and relatively cheap, resist the temptation to do too much,” he adds. “This is a sure formula for disaster.”

Speaking to the AP last week, Livingston did not explicitly deny that he had personal experience with prostitution and drugs.

“I am not recommending prostitution to anyone, nor did I say I engaged with prostitutes,” he said.

GOP gubernatorial candidate wrote book on soliciting prostitutes | The Raw Story


I really like how he writes a guide to doing drugs and hiring whores, then says he didn't do them or isn't suggesting someone else do them.

I wonder if he has written any other guides to stuff he doesn't know about or actually do ?
 
Who you going to admire tomorrow? Nixon?
Aw, gee.....another Teabaggin' Historian.

Here, ya' go.....(no reading required).

coolidge gave us the first crash, why love him?

Harding and Coolidge led us out of the 1920 Depression by cutting spending and taxes leading to an unprecedented growth for 9 years where the unemployment rate actually got to around 2% (Keep in mind, full employment is 4%).

The crash came in 1929, when the people had engaged in decietful behavior and then Hoover and FDR started micromanaging the economy, which slowed the recovery. Had they gotten out of the economies way, and invited the people to adapt, change, (or in other words, repent). The 1929 Depression would have been significantly shorter.

there was no 1920 depression.

the depression was in 1929 after the market crash.

Deregulation was the cause
