This is why Republicans need to nominate a conservative for a change.

When you're nothing more than "Democrat Light" you don't give many options to people.

He's the very definition of moderate.

The platform of Eisenhower:

I've been called a right-winger, teabagger, child-hater, homophobe, and misogynist for ascribing to those policies and ideals.

As usual, liberals have it backwards. Most republicans are rooted in the center. It's the liberals who have shifted so far to the left that the middle is the new right.

I don't know about the Republican platform, but here is what he did. Sounds like a modern day democrat to me.

The Republicans want to balance the budget today - they are "teabaggers".

I could play this game all morning. I think I'll walk for coffee instead.

I used to be a church goer, I left after the Iraq war began. US church stopped being a Christian church, turns to Judah church.

I don't blame you. Eisenhower refused to cut taxes and he invested money into infrastructure. Does this sound like a modern day republican?
