Former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole says a top GOP leader asked him not to publicly support health care reform. But he's doing so anyway.
The former Kansas senator said Wednesday that health care reform is "one of the most important measures members of Congress will vote on in their lifetimes."
Dole opposes a government-run insurance option, saying it could put private insurers out of business. He expects something to pass by early 2010.
Dole spoke at a health care summit in Kansas City. He said afterward that some Republicans have asked him to stay mum including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The Kentucky senator's spokesman denied the claim. He said McConnell hasn't spoken with Dole recently and agrees that reform is needed.

Bob you listening ???? Go to Hell.
Bob and Jimmy need to check into the Old Politicians Home together.
Dole was always a bit RINO.
However, to be fair, it only says he supports “reform” which could mean anything...
Regardless, who cares about Dole at this point.
Dob Bole speaks and no one cares. He just reinforced why I held my nose to vote for him POS RINO.
Jerks like this are the reason pelosi is emboldened and demanding the public option be put back in.
I call Dole a LIAR
he is old and confused
not supporting Obamacare doesn’t mean not suppporting health care
It is sad when stupid people can’t grasp the difference
someone needs to explain the difference to idiots like Dole
What I am waiting to hear, is for the politicians to say “We need Obamacare, and we’ll join in on it like everyone else”. Then, and only then will I consider the worthiness of this plan on it’s merits.
But when a politican says “I refuse to join in on the same plan that I am forcing on the rest of America”, I refuse to join in too. I will never eat at a resturant where the cooks refuse to eat the food they prepare.
Is Bob going to pay for it?
Dementia has set in.
Wait
I read the article which does NOT support the headline
Dole did NOT support obamacare, in fact he said it would not work.
not sure why he pretended any GOPer asked him to not speak out for health care reform
Bob Dole makes it clear why he is a loser.
The money is flowing...when the RINO’s are out there in full force pushing his agenda you know their pockets are getting lined.
Yep, parlays his war hero status into a RINO and expects everyone to salute “It’s his turn Bob Dole”.
America does not want Oba-Mao’s health care rationing.
That or he’s been listening to his wife too much.
Socialized medicine is necessary. I know it, you know it, and the American people know it.
Clinton was a pussy, Sincerely Dole.
