Tough old bird, considering how badly he was wounded in WWII. Not to mention that the 10th Mountain were some tough dudes too.

RIP Mr Dole.
He did a lot to serve the USA.
I drove through his home town on a hunting trip several days ago and saw the sign honoring him.

For sure. A real man rather than a lying, plagerizing, groping, traitorus, pedophile POS.

No wonder the Ds hated him. The pukes were jealous and couldnt relate. They knew what they were and they knew what he was.
Posted By: Mannlicher Re: bob dole - 12/05/21
Dole was always a RINO. in a recent article, it was mentioned that Dole said there's no question that Trump lost his reelection race – narrowly but fair and square.
On the current political environment, he says, "I do believe we've lost something."
Dole described Biden as "a great, kind, upstanding, decent person."

The vanilla RINO from Kansas lost three bids for the Presidency. For a reason.

Still have my Dole Kemp sign in one of my sheds

I went to a rally here in town. Some college [bleep] in granny dresses were doing a little 15 person protest in the middle of 10,000 people. Secret service slithered in yanked their signs and posters,after that, my bud sloshed 1/2 of big gulp cup of mtn dew on the libbie twáts.

Bob Dole served his country in the military for sure, but he did not serve the United States well in Congress. He was a liberal POS and a Rino in the image of John McCain. Bug food now!

Posted By: Dillonbuck Re: bob dole - 12/05/21
I have great respect for the vast majority of our service
members. Former and current.

However. It is NOT undying.

It is a snapshot in time. One that is never discarded, but can be
overcome by other actions. Dole, like Bush, doesn't deserve to be
lionized only on WWII.

There were many men whose service wasn't
so high profile. Soldiers doing their job. Maybe with a gun, maybe
a spoon, wrench or steering wheel. Many of those guys got out,
moved on and quietly worked at things that improved America for
all Americans.

Dole and Bush were not on the level of those men.
They were self serving breaucrats.

I can never forget nor forgive watching him vote with the democrats on gun control just to break a tie. He, like McCain and Romney were shoved at us because “ it was their turn” to loose.
Posted By: hasbeen1945 Re: bob dole - 12/05/21
I voted for the man. Like many he was not perfect. Looking at today’s politicians we could use a few like Dole.
He was probably considered middle of the road in Kansas. Far right in the N/E. A RINO in the south.

I did not agree with some of his positions but respected his right to his.

A RINO politically but I think he was sincere and honorable in his beliefs. He got more right than wrong especially in his private life.

Being in the military is admirable but sometimes the pukes know that. And even though I doubt that was Bob Dole's plan, he wiped out any respect I had for that by being a rino liberal big government piece of schit.

It is possible to burn thru all my Goodwill and he and mcstain managed to do it.

Amusing to see those here who have never served their country dishonor Senator Dole because he voted his conscience, not the party line. Go serve your country and earn the right to disrespect him before banging away on your keyboard.

You do know that Senator Dole fought for the United States against the nazis(for our freedom), right?
Posted By: montrose91 Re: bob dole - 12/06/21
Huge amount of respect to him for his war service. Very similar to George HW Bush in that regard. Sad to see that generation dwindle down to so few but that's just the nature of things. Hopefully people will take this moment to think about the WWII vets who are still with us.

No real opinions on him as a politician. I was a kid when he ran for president - my conservative dad never trusted him, just like GHW Bush.
Posted By: mjbgalt Re: bob dole - 12/06/21

A stepping stone to a political career.

There are those who put it all into their service.
And those who do it for what they can take.


Never served.

But I've known some from both categories.
Even some draftees that freely admit they did what they were forced to do.

People get a little hung up on military service.
They are a cross section of America.

I'm not saying that his military service gives him a pass from anything that happened after, but being an infantry officer in the 10th mountain in Italy was a little different than many of the examples "stepping stone" military service you can find out there.
