“I don’t know why anyone should be a member of the Republican Party.”

—DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

“The Republican Party must be known as a progressive organization or it is sunk. I believe that so emphatically that I think that far from appeasing or reasoning with the dyed-in-the-wool reactionary fringe, we should completely ignore it and when necessary, repudiate it.”

—DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

“The Democratic Party at its worst, is still better than the Republican Party at its best.”

—LYNDON B. JOHNSON
