Actually, I'd give a lot to get Ike in the White House now instead of the thugs that are there. Ike's politics included keeping out of people's personal lives and fiscal responsibility. That would sure be a breath of fresh air in Washington today. It was also Ike that first warned us about a military-industrial complex. If he were around today, Karl Rove would be finding ways to discredit his military record. I'm quite sure that Ike wouldn't be on the same page as the Bushies. The pedulum of American politics has swung so far right that today's brand of Republican-ism would be unrecognizable to him.
