Bob Dole Surely Doesn’t Want a Fight About Bob Dole!

I think the Bob Dole / John McCain comparison works pretty well.
But of course, Willard “Mitt” Romney is a complete Phony so I guess its a wash as far as this debate goes.

Romney reminds me of slick willy Clinton: say or do anything to get ahead.
McCain’s a projected winner – when will the Party’s ultra-right wing realize McCain’s better for the country than a legacy Clinton or a well-meaning but far left Obama?
After today, the GOP, Rush included, will need to unify behind McCain.
Kudos to Dole for reminding Rush and his ilk of what duty is.

Reagan had good intentions that the CIA took advantage of with the Iran/Contra debacle.

According the LA which seems to be factual McCain is a far left Liberal even more then the moderate dems!
Moderate Republicans stand behind the be republican and conservative Romney!
Otherwise the dems will win the presidency even if McCain wins since he is a puppet!!

JIM It is not about SUPPORTING us is about REPRESENTING the CITIZENS of the country, not getting elected and seeing how much money you can burn up.
Step one is to close the electoral college.
Step two is called popular vote.
There is a good start. We are letting ourselves be hoodwinked.

So let me get this right Republicans, its a BAD thing that McCain is willing to work with Democrats to get things accomplished instead of allowing partisan politics to deadlock every piece of important legislation (immigration, global warming, etc)?

WHO is the conservative ?

I feel comfortable with McCain and his experience in the U.S. Congress. He will make a good president as we face a war and economic problems. He will also be able to work the disfunctional Democrats in Congress.

Oh my word. That spock fellow is still shillin for the Marvelous Massachusets Liberal himself Willard Romney, aka MITT!
Mitt is what Eddie Haskell turned age 60. Mitt is what Jon Cary looks like on a bad day.
If you want conservative, and if you want someone who kicketh butt and taketh names, vote HUCK.
If you want someone who kisseth butt (MITT!) and taketh naps (McCain), you got other choices.
Nuff said.

Mitt Romney seems like he is alot more about straight talk than McCain. McCain has a canned message. He is always touting how he was a republican for all the years he was in congress and how he stood by and watched everything play out. If he is such a leader why is it, that he constantly uses ‘we’ and I stood with ‘so and so’. The message I take, is that he has never led anything and he likes to point out the obvious, but hide the truth. He was a republican that the republicans could never count on. He loves to reach over the aisle, but never wants to reach out within his own party. He opposes core conservative values and he gets elected by avoiding areas that he is not popular on. Never once has he said that he will not seek to offer amnesty, once the borders are secure. Probably because he has that on the adgenda. McCain is the sneaky slimy one if you ask me. He never answers the questions, but twists them to be some propaganda point for him. People who think that Romney is slick have just bought the Media’s twist on him. No one is as qualified as Romney. If the government were to hire him as consultant he could easily charge millions of dollars to benefit our country. He is offering his experience and understanding for free (he has vowed not to take a salary if president). He has American best interests at heart. Elect greatness

Carol, Romney also believes Native Americans are the Lost Tribes of Israel ! What do you think about that ? Do you agree ?

I would like to know where the “liberal” McCain votes? Not in the U.S. Senate. That is where Sen. John McCain has followed the party line 87% of the time. Rush Limbaugh: The liberal socialist McCain will get in bed with the democrats at a wink of the eye. 87% What

The “I don’t want to pay taxes” retoric
of so called “conservative republicans”
Is the MOST UN-PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT EVER STARTED IN AMERICA. They disrespect
true Heros, like John McCain, Bob Dole
Max Cleland(D), They lie about the service of others like John Kerry and send to the White House the least patriotic, least remarkable president of
the 20th century. Lets see…Rush Limbaugh, DRUG ATTIC WITH A FOLLOWING OF
VERY ANGRY, UN-EMPLOYED, SHEEP. Bill O’Reiley, sex maniac who has said he doesn’t even believe the things he says.
It’s just an ACT. The Republican party controlled the Congress for 12 years and the White House for the last 7 miserable years and what did they accomplish….WAR..GREED AND CORRUPTION. No wonder CHANGE is in the Air…good riddance.

Could anybody actually imagine McCain as a CEO? The first thing he would is start calling people to ask them what the heck to do. If you watch the debates, it’s pretty clear that McCain isn’t much for thinking and solving problems.

McCain asserted, “We never lost a battle in Vietnam, it was American public opinion that caused us to lose that conflict.” Oh, now McCain is blaming the American public for Vietnam? What a jerk. The Vietnam war started just like the Iraq war, on false statements used by warmongers, like himself and Bush. After billions of dollars spent, you mean to tell me that we can’t find “Osama bin Laden” after 5 years? Give me a break.

It is clear to those who have studied personality theory that Hillary and McCain are the candidates motivated by power. Romney and Obama operate from a different motivation, that of intimacy and connectedness. They are both driven people and achievers, but power is not the goal.
Romney’s type will take charge if there is no one capable to take charge, but his personality does not have to be “right” even when he is wrong. The power driven types are always “right” and will seldom admit to having made an mistake. Those of Romney’s type don’t overlook critical details, like “inconsequential” state primaries, and are very, very loyal. You’ll note how he married his high-school sweetheart and has remained true to her despite her MS.
McCain’s just turned his wife in for another model. His type has to “look good” and his first wife bacame disabled in an accident. Romney’s type wants to “be good.”
McCain’s type can be leaders, but they can also be dictators.

Whether you like McCain or not he is much more electable than Romney…Romney is just not likeable…he’s a Republican Bill Clinton…Romney has spent tens of millions of his his own dollars for a job that pays much much less…and he wants that job desperately…that really scares me…seriously, how does a multi-millionaire relate to the common man?…AND do we really want Hillary or Obama in the White House with OUR troops on the battlefield? and one last thing on Romney…being a Mormon he sincerely believes that after Christ was killed on the cross he came to America and preached to the American Indians…I think this speaks volumes about the man…character matters doesn’t it? whereas McCain spent 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton making sure others went home first before he did…think about it

Republican’s need to stop fighting each other. Voters see grid lock. Romney needs to stop annoying people and criticizing McCain. If you can’t say anything nice don’t say it at all.

I have read Dole’s letter, Romney’s reponse and McCain’s response.
Dole did not endorse McCain, Romney did not attack Bob Dole, and as usual McCain LIED about the letter’s intent. You have to give credit to McCain for being able to lie so blatantly and get away with it.

Ken: If we’re going to sit here and pick apart religions, we’re starting down a very dangerous and silly path.
So Romney believes Jesus came to America… who cares? Christians and Jews believe God talked to Moses via a flaming shrub.
All religions are weird and wacky. Mormonism is no more strange than any other when you get down to it.

Any Republican who supported President Bush the past eight years is not fit to be President. Ron Paul is the only choice. If Ron Paul is not nominated we vote Democrat.

McCain is a spoiler… just ask Republicans and George W. Bush. You’d think the fact that McCain and Huckabee are absolutely in bed with each other would bother their wives, but hey, it’s really no great loss.
Sure McCain has a lot of politician’s doing his talking for him. That’s how corruption works. You get the other guy’s to provide your talking points so that you can pretend to be above it all. The problem is that McCain has shown his true colors too often. No one who knows him is falling for it.
McCain, the liberal, is a sure loser against the Democrats in 2008.

Lets do away with the term limits for president in the constitution, and corronate Bush KING!! He and his neo conservative sock monkeys have done such a bang up job

McCain will need to pull as many independent voters in the Presidential election (Hilliary-haters & the politically naive) as conservatives he repulses.
Too old & cantankerous, not to be mention dim-witted. (I’ve seen him on CSPAN talking technology issues with industry leaders – he just doesn’t get the dynamics involved much less the technical aspects)
Respect his service to the country not his bid for President.
His service in Congress is HO HUM.

You gotta love Owl, bless her heart.
Nobody here has hate in their hearts for the Climatology and the Biology. I mean have you ever spent a summer in a RED state? Sure we have some characters out there such as our Phony Phred and the Willard Romney supporters. But most folks would be down right happy with a Huckabee/ McCain ticket or maybe even the other way around. However the former is definitely better than the Latter!
Sounds like her emoting may be the product of a failed PUBLIC school system. Now if VOUCHERs were around back in her day, we might could have a debate about issues. Once she calms down, I am sure Owl will be more reasonable.

What has McCain done in the last 20 years that makes him worthy to be the president? NOTHING!! People scream for change, what from his past tells you that he is going to change anything?? All he talks about is how he was a POW in the war. Great, and he is going to lead our country and change our economy, how?? McCain said out of his own mouth that the economy is not his strength, he is mostly a military man. Does that worry anyone else??? He wines and dines with the democrats. He opposed the Bush tax cuts! He wants amnesty for all the illegals!! He is a democrat who calls himself a republican! He will do no good for our country!
Look at Romney’s credentials and what he has done, he is all about change and fixing things. He has been very successful, he instills values that seem to no longer exist in some parts of America, and he will bring change! He is an honest, hard worker. Oh and in response to Ken, it is absolutely ridiculous to bring Romney’s religion into his presidential election. You probably believe in something that we think is absolutely ridiculous! When I see a man who has good values, lives by them, and instills them in his family and business, then who cares what religion he is!! What religion is Bill Clinton? Did that matter when he had an affair in the white house????
Go ahead, vote for Liberal McCain, but realize he has 0% chance of winning against the democrats!

As a conservative I refuse to “hold my nose and vote for McCain”. I’m voting for Mitt Romney!

Ken,
That was very nice of McCain to stay at the Hanoi Hilton, but his circumstances there were privileged. He gained special treatment for cooperating.
I’m not blaming him for doing what he needed to survive, but he wasn’t exactly honorable either. And it certainly shouldn’t make him president.

Just look how Bob Dole’s career has progressed since Bob Dole lost the election in 1996: from Bob Dole serving as campaign cheerleader for his wife in her Senate race, to Bob Dole acting as spokesperson for erectile dysfunction drugs, to Bob Dole being an apologist for Sen. McCain. Obviously, Bob Dole needs something better for Bob Dole to do.
