CA: It's time to flush Dornan's potty politics

The first time I saw Bob Dornan in person was in Iowa in 1995 when he was running for the GOP presidential nomination. Assorted activists were invited to a small-group gathering at a downtown Des Moines hotel to hear this renowned conservative firebrand.

That Sean Hannity show this week left me with a bad opinion of Bob Dornan.

[motzman]

Really bad opinion. I always thought of him as well-meaning but over the top sometimes, but he really sounded like a jerk.

[Torie]

Dornan is at once pugilistic, ego-maniacal, and ineffective.

[cyborg]

Not only that, but I felt he made Sean Hannity VERY uncomfortable and even embarassed him that day.

[NormsRevenge]

Yeah! and he uses hair coloring too. (What is with all these imported politicos anyway?)

[motzman]

painful to listen to, embarrasing, and classless.

[cyborg]

Rohrbacher came out looking like a gentleman and I don't blame him for not wanting to speak to Dornan.

[Owens08]

On Hannity's radio show, Dana sounded like a crybaby.

YES, DORNAN may be crazy, and he may be doing this for all sorts of wrong reasons...

BUT, that doesn't mean his main attack (THAT DANA HAS GONE SOFT) is untrue.

Dana has this seat because in the primary, he was the strongest PRO-LIFE candidate. He has co-sponsored NO pro-life legislation or co-authored any resolutions.

He has endorsed a more and more moderate group of candidates in recent years.

Just this year, he voted AGAINST free trade and FOR the Medicare Bill...

Just because Dornan is crazy, doesn't mean he's wrong...

Plus, any guy who publicly claims GAY is an acronym for "Got Aids Yet?" is my kinda guy!!!

Ditto. I don't normally listen to Hannity 'cause Medved is on during his time slot here in liberal Seattle hell. I turned on Hannity and heard B1 Bob on Friday and listened to the bit between the three. Sickening it was. Hannity was definitely caught with his pants down when Dornan started on Rohrabacher.

[cyborg]

I think Sean Hannity is going to try to get them to make peace. He was genuinely surprised that he was running against him.

He's a white Republican version of a Cynthia McKinney or Maxine Waters.

Good for laughs. Even good for throwing bombs as a member of the minority party... but he is not well suited for the responsibilities of being a part of a governing majority party.

[Servant of the 9]

He has co-sponsored NO pro-life legislation or co-authored any resolutions.

Funny, but I never noticed Ronald Reagan proposing any either.
Rational people don't waste time proposing crap that can't pass and will be found unconstitutional if it does.

Dornan has the right politics, but the man himself is an embarrassment. Always has been.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Over the years, I have come to find Bob's antics tiresome. He is not only over the top, everything in the world is always about him.

When we lived in Orange County and in his district, I once called to office to see to a matter involving a family member, a WWII vet, buried in Belgium. Though the matter could have been handled easily, neither he or his staff ever responded to repeated requests for assistance. We finally go help by going to another O.C. congressman.

If someone would call into a radio show with him as a host, they would normally mention their hometown. b would take that as a cue to go into twenty minute discourse on the history of the town, the closest air force base, the unit headquartered there, the planes at the base, their range and capabilities. When he was finished with this, he finally got aroung to the caller's question and it was time for a commercial.

I finally concluded that the guy may be a conservative, but he sure is a pompous windbag.

[beckysueb]

I agree. It did me ,too. I thought he was acting like a child.

[Missouri]

I wonder if Bob know anything about this.
