What a difference a decade (or two) makes.
Really.
The official Republican party platform from 1956, when Dwight D. Eisenhower was running for his second term as president, included the following elements or planks:
1. Provide federal assistance to low-income communities;
2. Protect Social Security;
3. Provide asylum for refugees;
4. Extend minimum wage;
5. Improve unemployment benefit system so it covers more people;
6. Strengthen labor laws so workers can more easily join a union;
7. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.
