As referenced recently in Doonesbury, John Eisenhower, son of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, plans to vote for Kerry. I can't share Eisenhower's enthusiasm for the Democratic alternative, but he's certainly right when he says that the Republican party has gone astray during the Bush administration:
Today many people are rightly concerned about our precious individual freedoms, our privacy, the basis of our democracy. Of course we must fight terrorism, but have we irresponsibly gone overboard in doing so? I wonder. In 1960, President Eisenhower told the Republican convention, "If ever we put any other value above (our) liberty, and above principle, we shall lose both." I would appreciate hearing such warnings from the Republican Party of today.
