one of my very earliest memories from my childhood is riding to the polling place in NOV 1952
since I was born FEB 1950, I was two and two thirds years old
IKE took the State of Georgia in this election by a wide[almost landslide] margin
this was the first time that Republicans had been victorious there since the GOP put Grant on the ballot down there!

Eisenhower was either a communist dupe or a conscious agent of the communist conspiracy. John Birch Society founder Robert Welch wrote a book in the '50s called "The Politician," which advanced this theory. It was very popular among the right wing lunatic fringe. Seriously, I'm not making this up. I have a copy of the book. I bought it when I was in high school at a JBS book store. I'll admit it, I bought it for laughs. The strange thing is that people like that are now the base of the Republican Party.
