Why did Bob Dole contribute to Charlie Crist’s campaign last week?

Charlie Crist left the Republican Party in April. In August, however, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole — now a health-care lobbyist — cut Crist a $1,000 check to finance his Senate race against Republican nominee Marco Rubio.

Dole is a “progressive” before he is anything else—he has never changed. He wants a Constitution that has EVOLVED. He is mentally deficient.

CALL HIM

[J Edgar]

RINOs love fellow RINOs. What’s so hard to understand.

[Catsrus]

Well, in actuality, Crist is no longer a RINO. He left the Republican party. So, do we call him a indio? Who knows what he is - he changes his mind when the wind changes.

Too much viagra. Went to the brain instead of the d...

[mcshot]

Blood is no longer flowing to his upper head. What an overall disappointment but God Bless him for fighting for his Country.

[Hojczyk]

He is a RINO...he was against Reagan tax cuts..

[Atlas Sneezed]

His brain has fully caught up with his right arm.

A hero then, a zero now.

Remember him at his best, not his addled present.

“Because Bob Dole is 150 years old and Bob Dole doesn’t know he’s senile and Bob Dole is a Rino”

You know it...I know it ... the American people know it.

Maybe Marco ate Bob Dole’s peanut butter without asking.

Because VIAGRA is the only thing keeping him in a upright position. Something always seem to twist in the mind of folks after a certain age, it's like they give up or give out. Perhaps this donation was made without his knowledge or consent. Who knows. At his stage of life, He should be left in peace.

[Verginius Rufus]

Bob Dole was born in the same town as Arlen Specter. Since Arlen was defeated in the primary it wouldn’t do any good to contribute to his campaign. Crist was the next best thing.

Because RINO’S take care of RINO’S ‘cepting Crist is an INDY with DEMONRAT wrote all over him. Thanks for your service Bob.......now go home and go to bed!

[Soul of the South]

Thanks to his RINO carpetbagger wife who ran one of the worst campaigns in history, we now have a far left Democrat Senator in North Carolina.

[kenmcg]
