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

[Truthmatters]

then why did that poster claim the victory and deny the 1929 crash was caused they the historically failed ideas of the right?


Because he wanted to highlight the small good done and ignore the Huge bad done.

 

[Decepticon]

Ah yes...the famous 1920-21 depression.

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.

Was it two or three people that actually paid 90% of their income in federal taxes? There were so many legal deductions, only a fool didn't take them.

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

Top 5 Causes of the Great Depression

What caused the Great Depression, the worst economic depression in US history? It was not just one factor, but instead a combination of domestic and worldwide conditions that led to the Great Depression. As such, there is no agreed upon list of all its causes. Here instead is a list of the top reasons that historians and economists have cited as causing the Great Depression.

1. Stock Market Crash of 1929
2. Bank Failures
3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board
4. American Economic Policy with Europe
5. Drought Conditions

Great Depression - Top Five Causes of the Great Depression

I would believe what historians and economists say the causes for the Great Depression over a simple minded partisan hack.

On edit, over several simple minded partisan hacks.

Deregulation was the cause

Gawd, you really are an imbecile!!

The 1921 recession began a mere 10 months after the post-World War I recession, as the economy continued working through the shift to a peacetime economy. The recession was short, but extremely painful. The year 1920 was the single most deflationary year in American history; production, however, did not fall as much as might be expected from the deflation. GNP may have declined between 2.5 and 7 percent, even as wholesale prices declined by 36.8%.[26] The economy had a strong recovery following the recession.[27]

Because your claim is a complete lie.

I think the drepession of 1929 was a far greater incident in the American history than the 1920 one was dont you?

Yes. Because progressives such as Hoover and FDR were in power and managed to screw things up so badly that it lasted 12 freakin years.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The Rightwing Myth that FDR prolonged the great depression is one of those classic, textbook rightwing myths,

exquisitely crafted to check all the boxes on the what-rightwingers-want-to-hear column.

It's right up there with the cutting taxes increases revenues Myth.

News Flash!

Eisenhower is dead!

But don't let anyone stop you from voting for the right guy.

 

[saveliberty]

Well, you always have the write in option for Eisenhower...

 

[Two Thumbs]

Too bad the GOP has NO ONE even resembling Ike today.

No, Ike would be considered a pinko commie lefty by today's CON party.

Interstates? Why today's conservatives are against public spending on infrastructure as evidenced by their opposition to public spending programs.

Wary of the Military Industrial Complex?
Today's GOP owns it. Just ask Dick Cheney about the Iraq no-bid contracts for Halliburton.

Tax rates? 90% on top earners.



What are you asking me to vote for this time around?
A silver-spooned dog-abuser who has ZERO conception what it's like to be a working stiff.
Romney's not fit to lick the dog shit off Ike's shoes.

Well this is a new twist.


liberals voting for dead people instead of dead people voting for liberals.

The John Birch Society did claim Eisenhower was a Communist back in the 50s.

The John Birch Society did claim Eisenhower was a Communist back in the 50s.

Actually, it's founder, Robert Welch did make that claim about Ike and it prompted a good many conservatives, including William F Buckley to condemn them.

The John Birch society repeatedly opposed overseas war-making, although it is strongly supportive of the American military. It has issued calls to "Bring Our Troops Home" in every conflict since its founding, including Viet nam.

It seems to me that you liberal twits should embrace the Birchers since you share that ideology..
