The ethically challenged Bowles
Washington Times ^ | 9/25/02 | David N. Bossie

Erskine Bowles campaigns for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina as a populist, a man with a "personal discomfort with politics." Even as he squares off against Elizabeth Dole this fall, Mr. Bowles maintains he "is not a politician," and only runs for office due to a philanthropic impulse he realized after September 11. The record, however, reveals Bill Clinton's former chief of staff as an entrenched and experienced politician with a penchant for Clintonite ethics.

Please, North Carolina, don't send this dirtbag clintonite to the Senate. Send him to prison instead.

I wondered what happened to David Bossie, whom I thought was a fine investigator! Good for him in getting this article published!

Bowels is definately a POS from the Clinton regime...but Liddy Dole is no better:

Sounding more like Hillary Clinton than a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Elizabeth Dole continued to actively promote a number of gun control proposals. Last week, during a candidate forum in New Hampshire, Dole made comments indicating that she supports bans on semi-automatic firearms, restrictions on ammunition, and government mandated trigger locks. This week, she went even further by attacking Right To Carry laws.

In remarks prepared for a womens forum in D.C., on Tuesday, Dole stated "I think it's wrong to let people carry concealed weapons." She continued saying, "I believe Americans want their presidents to be inspiring, effective and confident...and determined to ensure the safety of our kids on the streets and in their schools -- even if it means having the guts to stand up to the gun lobby."

Please contact the Dole campaign to express your opposition to her misguided support for more Clinton-style gun control laws and to urge her to stop vilifying the NRA. You can reach the Dole campaign at:

Elizabeth Dole for President Exploratory Committee
1925 North Lynn Street, Suite 400
Arlington, VA 22209
source

I notice at her official web page her environmental stances are straight out of Clinton's playbook, while her "protecting family" positions are straight out of a conservative's playbook.

What is a NC voter to do? Which Liddy Dole will they get if they elect her, the conservative who wants to Permanently Repeal the Death Tax and stop penalizing marriage by Permanently Banning the Marriage Penalty Tax, or the socialist envirowhacko that wants to ban concealed carry, semi-autos and generally doesn't understand the Second Amendment?

I'm reminded of the choice conservatives have in MD between Connie Morona (Morella), a Socialist Republican, and the slate of Democrats. All from Monkey County who can't stop trying to out-do each other by seeing how far left they can move. There ain't much of a choice for those voters in Monkey County...and there ain't much choice for the NC voters...

I would hold my nose and vote for Mrs. Tax Collector for the Welfare State. The Clinton criminal Bowles belongs in jail, despite his self-created pious image.

It will be with utmost pleasure to witness his defeat to Dole. We WILL do our best to contribute to retaking the Senate with a large enough majority to embarass the Democratic Party and sideline any aspirations of another Jeffords defection.

You make a sure bet that the vote of Darth Sideous will be countered 5 times over by my family alone. Bowles should be cast into the fifth ring of the "bowels" of Hades.

At least with Dole having an "R" behind her name, even if not in her character, those of us who have an "R" in our heart stand a far better chance of persuading her to consider those issues important to us if she listens....
