Dewey had a mustache, like some foreign dictators. Also, he was having a campaign whistle stop from the back of a train. The train started moving and Dewey joked later that the engineer should have been shot. Dewey didn’t ordinarily have much of a sense of humor and didn’t know that Republicans’ jokes would be taken literally by the media.

Dewey was crisp and efficient. He was also described as cold and pompous. He couldn’t put on the folksiness that Truman (or Biden) could. People found something endearing even in Truman’s anger and spitefulness. Dewey’s came across as cold and chilling. In the last year of his life, after Frances Dewey had died and long after Moss Hart had died, Dewey became close to television panelist Kitty Carlisle. I hope they found some comfort together.

he might had survived if the oil shock hadn’t punched a hole in his tires, no good deed, for saving israel from the Soviets, he had never made his fortune from politics like johnson, of course he had incurred the wrath of some of the right military like Admiral Moorer, the professional apparatchiks like Mark Felt as well as the establishment liberals that thought he had stolen what was due him, he also had this identification with Degaulle which I think odd, but compared to the current occupant and his sponsor well he was a boy scout

Dewey was as milquetoast as Romney, well he was a strong prosecutor, having gone after some big time mobsters, but the notion that he was some fascist front man, snorfle maybe he was an improvement over wilkie and landon,
well they didn’t go anywhere either,

after 20 years and the Korean debacle Eisenhower was elected, an able fellow but not a man of ideological conviction, except possibly he was averse in engaging in all out war, the Dulles Bros, otoh, suggested that this was an option but when the crunch came in Hungary, well they dropped the ball for reasons, his exceptance of the welfare state, that was a snippet of what we see today, is why the new right came about with Goldwater,

who thought most of this apparat was dangerous if not merely useless, but circumstance and dishonest media, made it impossible for him to win. Nixon had draWN blood with hiss, and the Dems never let him forget that

It’s an Oldie but a Goodie.

The first time I voted for a Republican was after watching the Justice Thomas hearings. Biden behaved atrociously.

I think Nixon was the first Hitler the Dems identified. And, having dispatched with him they keep trying again with each, subsequent Republican President.

A lot of people complain about low voter turnout.

I’m fine with it.

If one doesn’t feel informed enough to vote, or care enough to become informed enough to vote, or is simply too lazy or disinterested to get to a polling place and vote; then not voting is probably the best decision they can make.

Joseph Robinette Biden, with his current, diminished mental capacity is inadequate for the job of President of the local Elks lodge.
