Today in History - GOP Nostalgia

[BOSSHOG]

53 years ago today Republican VP Candidate Richard Nixon gave his "Checkers" speech and DENIED ALLEGATIONS OF ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN FINANCING. Richard Nixon - Ike's worst decision ever.

1. Didn't Bushco repub financiers more or less force Nixon on

Eisenhower? It was their first open move in the slow-motion coup.

3. Thank you very much

We are between hurricane cleanup gigs right now. Spent this AM ensuring we don't have any projectiles laying about. Chimnea's are god awful heavy but I don't want it flying into my living room so it has been moved (again.) Scrunched up the carpeting we had to rip out because of Katrina so the wife can get her car in the garage. Got just about all the large fallen trees off the property. Bathtub full just in case we lose power and need toilet water. We have plenty of drinking water and a case of beer to boot. I'm doing fine but the wife has helped some coworkers who live south of here clean up their property and she is taking their losses pretty bad. They lost a helluva lot more than us. Amazing what 20 miles of geography will do. Ya'll take care Shipmate, I appreciate your post.
