  1. America would be a different and better place if Dole had beat Perv Boy back in ‘96, or Bush in ‘88
    Ave atque vale.

      1. “Why is it that we always have to choose between the lesser of the two evils?”
        you mean that thing l tell people now elections are oftentimes a contest between a bully and an idiot?
        USA: trump vs biden
        Canaduh: harper vs TURDeau

  2. I recall the name but I really have no recollection of the man or his politics. It’s before I started paying attention to that sort of thing, especially stateside.

    1. Yup, me, too.
      I pine for the days when this shit didn’t even matter.
      When Dole was some pineapple fruit in a can, and a war was just on tv in Viet Nam.
      When politicians like Nixon and Blixon were there,
      But nobody even really fucking cared.

      And all through the land, they did what they did,
      But the media was low tech, and hid what they hid,
      While the revolutionaries were just trying to score a lid.

      And now all through the house, we all have a say,
      That is the fake social media way.

      We type and we type, and think we are right
      While the ruling class laughs and says a hearty good night.

      My poem will not end on that downbeat note.
      I will not rule out a wee shadowy hope.

      That one day we may waken, and throw off the veil.
      And see that we humans may just yet prevail.

      But I write off the cuff here, and why would I dare.
      Get your shit right together, if you still dare to care.

      Etc.

  3. Think about it people. Reagan. “They” hated him. Followed by Bush, ick, then they ran Dole, Bush ickier, McCain, Romney (all Rino pos’s) and then Trump blew up the party of cucks. BTW…..Trump is not conservative but he is a nationalist and loves this country and does not want the Schwab et all new world order (Bush ick…dead, thank god) to turn planet earth into a one world totalitarian shit hole.
    SO
    I’m glad this piece of shit is dead

    1. Clearly you know nothing about Bob Dole. Might have been better to keep the flytrap shut, rather than show your ignorance.

  4. Norm Macdonald impersonated Dole to a tee back in his SNL days but it was never in a mean or malicious way like what we see from the likes of Baldwin and others impersonating Trump.
    Dole took a lot of ribbing for his Viagra commercials after he retired but I’ll bet he was laughing all the way to the bank.

    1. “Norm Macdonald impersonated Dole to a tee back in his SNL days ”

      Yeah, I can’t even hear Dole’s name without picturing Norm.

    2. As I saw recently

      “Viagra – won’t make you James Bond but will make you Roger Moore”

    From Bob Dole’s farewell letter: “I’m a bit curious to learn if I am correct in thinking that Heaven will look a lot like Kansas.

    …And to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago.”

    Absolute legend

  6. ya live to 98 ya garner a huge collection of criticism and lots of it accurate.
    the thing l *always* remember about Dole, came out when he took a run at repub candidacy, end of the war, he’s seriously wounded coming home on the train, wondering what the future holds.
    well the blessed SONOFABITCH DIDNT CAVE. he worked at it, regained his mobility, the rest is history.
    NEVER GIVE UP NEVER YIELD ONE MILLIMETER OF JUSTIFIED GAINS. NEVER LET THE EVEN CORRECT CRITICISM GET TO YOU WE ARE *ALL* FAILED HUMAHNS SCREW IT SCREW IT. NEVER EVER EVER EVER GIVE IN TO THE OPPONENTS.
    AND IF YOUR GONNA LOSE ANYWAY, WELL…..

    TAKE             AS         MANY          OF          THEM          WITH          YOU          AS          YOU          CAN.

    RIP Bob Dole, you earned it.
