Asking Bob Dole how to win a Presidential election is like asking the Cleveland Browns how to win a Super Bowl.

“The last, desperate days of the Whigs... “

Yes to that! No more Doles, McLames, Bushes. No more old flatulent RINOs who could not govern if their life depended on it.

The GOP establishment have never stood up to liberals, they mingle well at all the ‘hot’ parties in Sodom and Gomorrah on the Potomac. Their sewer is about to get flushed.

Going viral to expose this attempted execution of the Gingrich campaign in order to save Socialist Romney in Florida, may backfire right on time for Tuesday. IF we go to work.

We need to peck away on the ground, everyone of us, to defend and protect the only candidate with a voice against the Establishment. We must get outside our choir and speak for Newt.

Bob “Where’s the Outrage?” Dole came out against Newt? Well, that settles it...

—The last, desperate days of the Whigs...—

That is pretty much how I’ve been seeing this as well. Either the R’s are going to go back to their roots or they are going to collapse as a party.

If you want a real laugh look at what Romney was doing and saying at the same time.

Openly supporting the democrat.

Declaring that he is a “moderate with progressive attitudes”

etc..

The liberals in the repub. party are truly, truly desperate....!

Bob Dole sold out the conservaties yrs. ago and his wife was just as big a failure in office as he was....!

Is this what Mitt and his allies have fallen to..? Falling back on “old”, “worn-out”, “socialist” republicans...lol

Many of the criticisms I’ve seen from the establishment types are that Newt fights too hard, that he takes the fight to the Democrats, that he doesn’t like to reach across the aisle and give the Democrats our credit cards.

Newt was never more accurate than when he described this RINO LOSER as the “Tax collector for the welfare state.”.

What’s next. Will Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller rise from their graves to tag-team Newt?

Bob Dole-—good grief. They must be desperate to dredge him up. That gives me MORE reason to vote for Newt!

Dole has a grudge against Newt. From their Reagan days.

I wonder if Newt will snark back, “Stop Lying About My Record!” :)

I do remember this.

The so-called “government shutdown” was a beautiful piece of political theater. Because they agreed to fund those parts of the government we couldn’t get by without, and only shut down the parts that weren’t critical... and that was making our argument for limited government better than a thousand speeches.

Because, shutting down those parts we could live without, life went on. Aside from the people who worked in those agencies, no one missed them.

It was just starting to dawn on Dems that they were being had when the Repubs themselves went weak in the knees and they came to a compromise. This actually happened several times and each time it was Repubs who went weak right when they had the chance of the century to school the American people about limited government.

Dole is a great example of exactly what is wrong with the GOP. In a healthier country, he would be a mainstream Democrat.

Bob Dole= Lancelot

There was an old knight named `Lancelot’
Looked on by conservatives askance a lot;
..Don’t ask me, hellifIknow
..Why, but on sight of a RINO
The front of his pants would advance a lot.

Holy Crap - I figure the GOP ‘establishment’ was for Romeny- but until now I had no idea how far they would go to promote THEIR AGENDA and their guy

This is as bad as the democraps.

I like Newt even more now, and WE NEED A TEA PARTY MARCH ON GOP HEADQUARTERS
