Oh we all knew who who Rubio was. We also knew Crist had been a lousy governor, who stabbed Rudy in the back, who avoided Bush when he flew down to Florida toward the end of his term, who had hugged up to Obama and if we knew it then Cornyn and McCain DAMNED well knew it, too.

You happy with Rubio?  The GOP leader of the Gang of 8 on Amnesty?

Cornyn is solid in Texas.  YOU may not like him, but he'll be reelected handily.

Guess the source (no peeking) (as if you have to).

that airhead Elizabeth Hasselbeck...Michael Steele is...the emptiest suit...Michael Steel couldn't manage a 7-11...he's new. Everybody likes eye candy...Do you even think before you post nonsense like that?...especially her inane groveling...Tom Coburn's a RINO.  That's the equivalent of the Taliban to the unappeaseables...He's my Senator, and I think he's a fool...The man who...knocked everybody else down getting to the door to be seen by powerful GOP figures...This is the same bullshit...Don't be disappointed when you figure out that Cruz is doing all this to pad his resume for 2016...the dreamer who persuades by equating his opposition to Nazi enablers...Ted Cruz apparently believes that opposing his tactics on defunding Obamacare is the equivalent of appeasing the Nazis...with the walk-on-water Ted Cruz.

If I walked into a business meeting with 20 like minded people to discuss ideas and moving forward to help the company, then I presented my choices and thoughts and only had maybe one other person agree with my thinking.....and I know that 85% of the time we are all on the same page.... I might have to rethink my motives for not wanting  the company to succeed, and JUST MIGHT HAVE TO ADMIT I AM WRONG....

JUST SAYIN :shrug: :whistle:

Bob Dole wasn't any different that the man he was running against and the voters figured that out rather quickly!
Your entitled to your opinion but to set the record straight.
Bob Dole has two Purple Hearts, and the Bronze Star. Bill Clinton raped a woman, and molested two others.
Bob Dole helped pass Ronald Reagan's agenda for all 8 years as the Senate Majority/Minority Leader.  Clinton passed gun restrictions, burned children alive in Waco, and blamed Rush Limbaugh for Timothy McVeigh.

I could go on

I am well aware of Bob Dole's war record and thank him for that service but stand by what I said. Politically he was no different than Bill Clinton. As far as helping pass the Reagan agenda you need to take a closer look at that. Bob had to be dragged kicking and screaming to most of that. Reagan got most of it done by going over the head of the Washington establishment directly to the American people!

Dole, McCain, Hagel... too many have ridden that horse into the ground which is unfortunate for the many other heroes who did what they did without asking for pats on the back and ever-ending adulation in return.

On this board someone who rapes, confiscates guns, and burns children alive also gets a pass.

What the hell are you talking about?  You had better be prepared to back up such an accusation.

I think this text is being referenced but think Bigun meant that Dole and Clinton were only alike politically. Clinton has no service record at all but Dole was not a conservative.

With all due respect, I'm not aware of Dole, McCain, or Hagel wearing their service on their sleeves as John Kerry has done.

In fact, Bob Dole and Chuck Hagel never mention it unless asked.

Howard Baker was Majority Leader of the US Senate from 1981-1986, not Bob Dole.  Reagan's problem was not the Senate; it was the US House, led by Jim Wright.

In the case of McCain he has good reason not to mention it! If it hadn't been for his father and grandfather being admirals before him John McCain would never have been in the cockpit of an F-4 over Hanoi!

Sounds like a description of Bill Clinton...Janet Reno.

Are you saying some posters in here gave the Clinton Administration a pass?   :shrug:

Thank you Sinkspur for correcting me on the Majority/Minority Leader

many replies after I see condemnation of Dole for using his war injuries for political points, no condemnation of Clinton.  And so far no one agrees with e that Bob Dole was a far better man than Clinton.  Hence he gets a pass.
