Obama Ain’t No Eisenhower

[Flanders]

Biden has another lying sack of shit fighting for a thief, while Nixon had the most honorable of men offering to fight for him:

Remember that Eisenhower backed a challenge to JFK’s robbery, but he, Nixon, said no because he did not want the country to look like a banana republic. Try to name one United Nations-loving Democrat today, or ever, that put this country first.

Even after 1960 was consigned to history’s dustbin you would have been hard put finding a publication willing to talk about the JFK - LBJ burglary let alone call it a conspiracy which it was. Indeed, every time the Democrat Party, along with their media co-conspirators, steal an election it is a conspiracy. Too many people are involved in rigging an election to call it anything else.

Parenthetically, some years after the election in 1960 faded away I distinctly remember TV GUIDE publishing a most detailed article about the theft. How is that for irony? The one publication that always protected and defended the Democrat Party’s mouthpiece —— TELEVISION —— turned around and bit JFK on the ass.

Here is great piece offering some interesting coulda-been-shoulda-been possibilities:

While the Left is acting as if it is unthinkable – absolutely inconceivable! – that a presidential election can be stolen, and that to suspect otherwise is to venture deep into tinfoil-hat territory, in reality, this kind of thing has happened before, and it’s high time it all came out and safeguards were implemented. In Stephen King’s novel 11/22/63 (spoiler alert!), the main character, Jake, travels back in time to try to stop Lee Harvey Oswald from shooting John F. Kennedy. Even though King drops Jake off in 1958, giving him five years in the Good Old Days, the great novelist never thinks to offer him the easiest way to ensure that Kennedy survives: rather than stopping Oswald, he could have had Jake stop JFK from stealing the 1960 presidential election from Richard Nixon.

As Rating America’s Presidents notes, the 1960 campaign is famous not for voter fraud, but for the televised debates between Nixon and Kennedy, the first debates between the presidential candidates of each major party. The effect of television may have decided the election. A majority of those who listened to the first debate on the radio thought Nixon had won, but on television, he had unwisely eschewed makeup and sweated profusely under the hot lights, making him look nervous and shifty. Most TV viewers thought Kennedy had won.

Nevertheless, the election itself was extremely close, with Kennedy winning only 112,000 more popular votes than Nixon, out of over 68 million cast; in the Congressional Quarterly’s count, Nixon won the popular vote.

Illinois and Texas decided the contest. Both were quite close themselves: if Nixon had won forty-seven thousand more votes in Texas (the home state of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Lyndon B. Johnson) and ten thousand in Illinois (where Democratic machine boss Richard Daley, the mayor of Chicago, held sway), he would have become president.

There was significant evidence that the Kennedy machine had committed voter fraud in both states. In Illinois, Daley’s Chicago machine made it easy: five days before the election, a Chicago group called the Committee on Honest Elections issued a report documenting its contention that fully ten percent of the people on Chicago voter rolls were listed as living in bars, barbershops, vacant lots and the like. Many had moved; many others were dead. The Committee also found unregistered voters having cast votes, including some who were apparently altogether fictional.

This report didn’t stop the fraud in Chicago. In the election, several Chicago districts recorded many more votes than they had registered voters, and Kennedy won big.

In Texas, meanwhile, Republicans charged that Democratic vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson, whose past recourse to voter fraud was legendary, had been up to his old tricks. In his 1948 Senate race, voters helpfully voted in alphabetical order to put Johnson over the top. Twelve years later, the Republicans contended, Johnson had made sure that tens of thousands of fraudulent votes were cast for Kennedy, while tens of thousands of other ballots, marked for Nixon, were invalidated, generally on the thinnest of pretexts.

Texas and Illinois would have given Nixon 270 electoral votes and the presidency. Despite massive evidence that he had been the victim of a grand theft, however, the Republican candidate declined to contest the election, saying that he did not wish to plunge the country into a crisis with the Cold War raging.

That was a noble sacrifice for Richard Nixon to make in 1960, and belies his post-Watergate reputation as a cynical, self-serving, crooked trickster. However, it is long past time for the victims of voter fraud, particularly in the presidential arena, to stop being noble. The problem with Kennedy’s successful theft of the 1960 election was that it paved the way for what we are seeing today, emboldening those forces who believed that they could carry out this larceny in public view of everyone without suffering any significant consequences.

If it was noble of Nixon to bow out in 1960 and not contest the theft, it is far more noble of President Trump in 2020 to contest this election, to gather all the available evidence and take it to the Supreme Court for judgment. Anything short of that will only embolden and enable the fraudsters all the more, to the degree that it may be impossible in the United States after this to have a free and fair presidential election.

As a result, it is not hyperbole to say that our future as a free republic hangs in the balance. The immense pressure on Trump to concede is only testimony to how deeply he has shaken the political and media elites. If they succeed in destroying him, they will be able to impose their will without fear of serious opposition. It’s time to break their hegemony now.

Voter Fraud in Presidential Elections Has Been Going on for at Least 60 Years. It’s Time to Call a Halt.

To Charoite: Oh my, another snappy retort from a Democrat halfwit.

Try challenging the message instead of attacking the messenger.

The Nixon people said they did not contest because JFKs people were better at cheating than they were. There was nothing noble about Nixon. He is the most like Trump we have ever had. He too believed in the imperial presidency and the president was above the law. It took a few Repubs with values to talk him into resigning. We have no such Repubs now,
Ike hated Nixon and it was well known. Ike was forced to back him by the party. When Ike said Nixon was the most involved and active VPs in history, the press asked him what he did. Ike said " I can't think of anything right now, but if you ask me later I might come up with something."

Flanders' post is not necessarily "fruitcake BS." I'm no historian, but I have heard from other sources that Kennedy benefited from some form of unethical conduct in the 1960 election.

That's in the past. Here in 2020, don't you want to know if there were irregularities?? Not saying there were. Just asking: Do you want Biden to be President if it can be demonstrated that Trump actually won??

[Minister of Truth]

I actually didn't know that Ike supported a challenge to JFK/LBJ cheating. I always assumed he encouraged Nixon to concede.

Anyway, there's only been one president in Ike's league since he left office in 1961.

Agreed? What's up with almost a dozen threads on Obama today? WTF does a has-been politician have to do with our present political issues?

Yes, he is.....and as cranky as a two-year old.

How nice for him.

[Doc Dutch]

Sour grapes? Maybe. Trump thing? Definitely. All of this noise looks like a plan to turn attention away from the fact Trump has FUBAR'd the COVID response and has now given up on it in preference of focusing on overturning the election to crown himself King.

Yes and I received it as an early Yule gift.

ODS (n): 1. An obsession with a former president who was elected twice by a large majority of American citizens; he was the first POTUS of African-American ancestry. 2. An obsession suffered by a lonely Ohio shut-in focusing on a JPP poster named Owl Woman.
