Dare I say that you let slip that your Dole-hating friend was a "she." Yes, Dole may have had many women supporters. And I know it sounds sexist, but one of the major thorns in my side during the 90's was the female emotional attachment to His Slickness over all those old, paternal fuddyduddies like Bush Sr. and Dole. No rational, informed, political debate at work here, just the "tingle factor." My late Mom was the same way. If you gave her a checklist of the Democratic Platform, she'd nix over 80% of it - BUT, she just never liked (or voted for) Republican "personalities."

Stallone,

"Remember what by nature a democRAT is: a narcissistic, image-oriented sheeple influenced by groupthink, Hollywood, awed by celebrities, etc.). As such, a Socialist will shake and tremble at the thought of public humiliation.

Now, THAT should go on a momument somewhere and also be required reading by every schoolkid in America!

Ridicule is a powerful political tool. The Conservatives/Republicans have yet to fully understand its sway over the populace, particularly the Socialists among us.

We aso fail to understand the impact of music, poetry, and fiction. Time and again, when I've expressed political ideas through lyrics, even the left-wingers I've communicated with have understood and appreciated what I meant.

It'll all be in Willie's upcuming book:

Clintoon's book will be published by Alfred Knopf Publishing.

“Knopf” is 13th Century German for “ incredibly stupid buyer of other peoples’ garbage.” Knopf is a very old publishing house best known for such early best-selling classics as

“How to Enjoy The Inquisition” by Father Torquemada
“You Get My Point?” by Vlad the Impaler
“Guillotine Maintenance and Repair” by Citizen Robespierre

Two of their more recent offerings are “PeeWee Herman’s Movie Guide” and “Gary Condit’s Guide to Picking Up Chicks.”

All available in a dumpster or landfill near you!

Can anyone tell me if Norm MacDonald and Bob Dole are pals. Norm always had him on SNL. Dole was kind of iffy in the senate but he seems to have a good sense of humor. His wife is a piece of work. Gun grabber!!

The worst republican presidential candidate in my lifetime(worst veep candidate too).

He ran such a bad campaign that ole King Squirt rewarded him with a medal for throwing the election.

The jerk accepted the medal, even though Bubba was laughing at him under his breath the whole ef-in' time.

A disgrace of the highest order, who hasn't yet found the time to return to Kansas as he promised to do.

He sure did, and I was one of them. I know Rush kept blaming us soccer moms for electing Clinton, but most of the soccer moms I know despise Clinton. I only know one soccer mom who admits to liking Clinton. We all laugh at her (she's from Arkansas). My Dole-hating, Hillary-loving friend is a single, career woman who is pro every minority there is--except white males.

On the viagra thing and Dole.. I am not a guy, but I think it takes great courage to be able to talk about the problems associated with prostrate cancer. Many health care professionals have been reluctant to discuss impotence with their patients. For someone with the noterity of DOle to take this issue on is commendable. Perhaps you are offended by the over-played commercials that have gone along with the seriousness of the message. If if helps one person overcome somoe of the personal problems associated with cancer then in my opinion it is worthwhile. I think it reflects the heroic qualities of this disabled veteran. One other thing, in addition to Dole's humor not bieg highlighted during his run for the presidency, was his heoric status during WW II. Unlike McCain, DOle wanted to downplay his war esperiences where he suffered incredible scarring and permanent disabilites. He did not write a book about his war time experiences and downplayed his involvement. It was only a few years ago that he was awarded some regignition by ( I think the French government for his heriosm in holding on to a hill small group of allies even though his injuries were remarkable.) I will always believe tha Dole either won the 96 election or he came much closer than we will ever know. THink about the fraud that occurred in 2000 as well as the lack of counting the military ballots. It was in that election, that Landrieu won her senate seat and it was determined that many dead voters in the New Orleans had voted for her. Dole is a funny guy, spontaneously, as well as,intellectually.

Actually OBL is going to live in Portland, Oregon. He will need no pardons and will be welcomed by the mayor and her chief of police!

(Why OBL went to Portland, Oregon instead of Pakistan)

Yeah, I like to keep informed in case Dubya or one of his advisors calls to get my opinion. If I'm not home, I'll forward them to you.
