Eliot Abrams is a liar. Newt was not attacking Reagan or Reaganism which he defended in the same interview. He was saying that Bush Sr. shouldn't run on Reaganism as he (Newt) was afraid that he would lose because new, different ideas would capture the imaginations of Americans.

Frankly, considering what people seem to think is important nowadays (i.e., sports, American Idol, the Kardashians, etc.), I think Newt was right.

Bob Dole is a professional sell-out who sold his power and position in the Senate to anyone who would finance him. Being blown up during WWII and surviving is remarkable, but it doesn't make him a moral giant or an honest public servant.

Why do you suppose that so many of those WWII heroes turned out to be political sell-outs? The list is endless. One theory is that they wished to avoid war for their sons and did whatever might not even work in a vain bid to prevent entry into another war. Now they “go to war” at the drop of a hat but don’t mean it. Only the military families pay. Such is the legacy too of the uninformed American voters.

Oddly, I understand that Phyllis Dole like Jackie Gingrich and Carol McCain still supported their ex-es in their political bids. They used to day John Jay was a sell-out with his Jay's Treaty too. Another thing about Dole, the Ford people cut him off in 1976 when he talked about "Democrat wars in this century." Bad move on Bob's part

Big difference between physical courage and political courage and integrity

Dole lacks the last two
