Robert Taft, Mr. Republican
Submitted by Deet on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 15:44I found an interesting note when researching Robert Taft, Mr. Republican.
"Mr. Robert Taft sought the Republican (GOP) presidential nomination in 1940, but lost to Wendell Willkie. Taft was regarded as a strong contender, but his outspoken support of non-interventionist foreign policies, and his opposition to the New Deal in domestic policy led many "LIBERAL" Republicans to reject his candidacy."
I thought many here might like to know that, in the past at least, only LIBERAL Republicans supported our world wide intervention and True Conservative Republicans were know as "non-interventionists"! Maybe we should start calling NeoCons "Liberal Republicans"? Please use this against any NeoCons that claim Paul's views are left of Obama's!
About half way down under "Presidential ambitions".
I read an article from a progressive, who...
BRAGGED about stealing the nomination from Bob Taft in 1940.
The same thing happened with Eisenhower in 1952. We win this or it is revolution and it won't be a peaceful one.
