“More like a FDR or JFK type of democrat.”
I will accept that. Both had 90%+ top marginal tax rates. (So did Eisenhower.) Both were free traders. (So was Eisenhower.) And it should be noted that when those three were President, there were no restrictions on immigration from any Western Hemisphere country so they had enforced an “open borders” policy for this half of the world.
I can not be an Eisenhower Republican because of what he and John Foster Dulles tried to do to Israel. 🙁
