Yeah, THAT ol saying : )

Ole Bob Dole loved telling his story about signing up as a Republican, because the line was shorter.......

"Who doesn't admire former Republican Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole?"

Bob Dole? Wasn't he the Tax Collector for the Welfare State?

Bob Dole mainstreamed the euphemism “E.D.” in those Viagra ads. Of course, since his wife is Elizabeth Dole, he has E.D. all the time (whatever pills he takes).

[Art.] Second, Republicans have done a poor job of arguing their positions.

Bad rap. The conservatives especially have been getting resolutely, vigorously, even viciously "jammed" by expert propaganda scumbags working for the other side.

Don't believe me? Google up the New York magazine (not New Yorker) article on David Brock from 2011. Read it closely, and for comprehension. Fill in from your own memory the parts of the story the New York author -- screedist, really -- doesn't want to tell, but you know about, about how Brock wound up working for the Prince of Darkness.

No, Republicans are not tongue-tied. They're getting the crap beaten out of them with baseball bats by ruthless intellectual goons who've no more compassion or patriotism than Nicolo Machiavelli or the Borgias he admired. And they've got near-monopoly on communication in the country.

He enjoyed being the Essential Man, the Guy Who Had to Be in the Room.

If Bob didn't get consulted enough, he'd take your Reagan tax cuts and DEFRA and TEFRA them into nothingness .... thus proving that you could accomplish nothing .... without "Bob Dole in the Room".

Tax cut? What tax cut? Did you run that by Bob?

That's what he was. A Member of the Club, one of the Rotarian Wing of the GOP.
