ELDER STATESMEN
When I talk about the Republicans who were great statesmen and who truly worked for bi-partisan solutions, I often forget to give examples.
Here is one:
A Long Time Ago in a Party Far Away
I fought against Bob Dole's campaign as hard as I could but I respected him.
I respected his sacrifices for his country. I respected his ability to speak with America in mind no matter what the subject was. I never doubted his patriotism. I do not think he had a cynical bone in his body.
Today, Dole is proving that by his work in Kansas as a not-so-regular citizen.
Bob Dole.
Where are they today?
Actually, George Bush is working on being one. Surprise. Not his henchmen who are feeding the Mitt Campaign.
In the Mitter's outfit, it is all cynical mendacity.
Interesting enough, that is not working.
Last week, Willard proved his incapacity for foreign affairs.
A performance that earned him very low marks in the Pew research question today.
Guys like Dole went there. Dole actually fought there. They knew that governing was serious business. Not business business.
Bob Dole.
