This article from The Washington Post (registration required) features another Kerry supporter, Kevin Phillips, a former Republican strategist who longs to go back the Republican party of Dwight Eisenhower. According to the article, Eisenhower "was a politician who embraced a top marginal tax rate of 90 percent, who warned of the abuses of the military-industrial complex and who -- in Phillips's telling -- had little use for the country club Republican set." Phillips is the author of one of the many popular books that are critical of Bush: American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush.
