If you're an Ike Republican, then you're left of the left today. The pendulum has shifted so far that left isn't even centrist.
Like you, I think most people are evil. I know I am. Unlike you, I don't believe in God. So, I should assert that I think most people are bad, since evil is tangled in theology. I think that most of us, in certain circumstance, would man a watchtower at Auschwitz, would swing a machete in Rwanda, and would rape a man with a broomstick in one of Saddam's rape rooms. It is our common proclivity for evil that has me supporting your position in this thread. I too want to publicly denigrate Sen. Helms. I would if it weren't for your thin, fine line, which delineates decency.
