"Tell him to stop lying about my record," Dole snapped. (Ah, memories.)

Yep, Bob Dole is said to have ruined his chances for the Presidency in 1988 by his clench-jawed demand for Bush I to 'stop lying about his record.'

---------------------------

"I think if it hadn't been for his false advertising the last three days, we would have beaten him," Dole said on primary night.

In a tense notional TV interview, an anchorman asked Dole if he had anything to say to Bush, who was also on camera. "Tell him to stop lying about my record," Dole snapped.

2. I'd say senility is starting to kick in..

3. he's also dissed Kerry's medals, saying...

4. Thanks -- I'd forgotten that! What's wrong with Dole, indeed!

5. Some people are done wrong

and they don't want it to happen to someone else so they will do what they can to prevent anyone else from suffering the same way. Some people though are callous and figure that they had to suffer so the 'next guy' can just suffer too, apparently that is Dole's attitude. :-(

6. I just saw

Dole on TV just now and he said something to the effect that Kerry didn't do any time in a hospital for his wounds...

What's a matter Bob...jealous that Kerry will win like you didn't...?

[Tom Kitten]

7. "My suffering was worse than his"

type of thing...Plus he's Republican...

8. An Enterprising DUer Needs To Find The Vanity Fair article

where Barbara Bush called Bob Dole a "one armed bandit"....


The Republicans must have a mean gene or they haven't evolved as much from the primordial ooze as the rest of us.....
