Did anyone realized he was still alive? Based on the photo at the link, I'm not convinced that he is.

I thank him for his brave service in World War II and respectfully ask him to go back to the day room and have his nurse make him a nice hot cocoa and turn the channel to MSNBC.

Honestly, this appears to be what happens to people who spend their entire lives in politics, and in the beltway. They start to believe in the alternative reality that emanates from Washington. In reality the democratic party an extremist party, and the strategy of the right should be to paint them as such - because it’s true.

The current administration has had avowed communists in its inner circle (e.g. Van Jones), has at its helm a guy who adamantly defended partial birth abortion, essentially bought GM and gave it to the unions, refused to prosecute absolute voting place violations by the Black Panthers, is sucking over 750 billion dollars away from medicare, has a law student who things condoms should be free acting as a spokesperson, etc. etc., but Dole thinks Romney should step back from a diverse group of Americans who think that the Boston Tea Party was a good thing and believe that they shouldn’t be taxed more to pay for a government that annually spends more than it has? He is clearly not in touch with reality.

“BOB DOLE: Mitt Romney Needs To Back Away From The Tea Party”

Dole (whom I believe Newt referred to as a “bagman for the welfare state”, or something similar) must be getting concerned that Romney is not leading with his chin like Dole and McCain did. It’s got to be very disconcerting to these establishment party hacks when they see a Republican presidential nominee who doesn’t seem to understand he’s supposed to throw the contest.

Except for unsolicited political advice, probably the biggest decision he makes anymore is whether to have vanilla or chocolate pudding for dessert.

“Well, on the pudding issue, Bob Dole has always stood for vanilla. So that is what Bob Dole will have.”

” - - - showed “flexibility” and a willingness to forge the type of bipartisan deals - - - .”

Duh, that RINO mentality is exactly what has resulted in 16 TRILLION dollars in National Debt.

BTW, didn’t Obama promise that he would be “more flexible with Putin after the November election? Bob Dole must be proud that his ideas live on - - - .

Reason #726 why US Senators make lousy executive leaders.

Mr Dole, a former Kansas Senator defeated by Bill Clinton 16 years ago, said the party should follow his example of "mainstream" Republicanism and become more appealing to ethnic minorities and young people to secure its future.

Here's an idea. Let's take advice from a 107 year-old washed up white-bread loser politician about how to appeal to minorities and young people.

Where exactly does Mr. Dole think the party is too right wing/conservative? Mr. Dole should the party adopt legalized abortion on its’ plank? How about increased taxes or better yet spending?

I love it when these establishment Republicans say the party is too right wing without ever defining what specifically it is at that time to be “right wing”. It’s never defined.

How about Bob Dole keeps these kinds of comments to himself...he never became president using this formula. Rather odd as he came out strongly for Christine O'Donnell after she won her primary even while he was inpatient in the hospital.

Dole has class, and I respect the man...but these kinds of comments don't unite the party as he claims and he should keep them to himself (especially during the midst of a heated election...yeesh - c’mon Bob!). The way to win “minorities” (people) is the same way you win other people - you take your case to them, teach them what you believe and why, and convince them to join you in your fight for freedom and prosperity...not by clouding the difference in the parties. Some will, some won't.

I recall Dole himself being branded and caricatured as a right wing extremist on many occasions...you are going to be attacked like this anyway, Bob - might as well be genuine...that doesn't mean you don't take care in your manner of presentation...but that's different from ideology.

Mr. Dole needs to put a sock in it, toxic sock syndrome.
