Is John McCain the New Bob Dole?

[Leo 9]

The GOP "reflex" of constantly attempting to paint Obama as a liberal, however, will "turn McCain into Bob Dole." Murphy insists

Remember when they had Dole out there calling Clinton "President Bozo"?

It will be like that.

1. I think he's the new Bob Newhart. nt

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

2. I think it's a perfectly valid comparison

Both are older military veterans running against populist Democrats. McCain may be leading in the polls right now, but I doubt it will last for long after the conventions.

Although I still have a small amount of respect for Bob Dole. I don't have an ounce of respect for McCain.

3. "Bob Dole is the new Bob Dole.

Bob Dole is the only Bob Dole. Bob Dole approves this message." -- Bob Dole

6. "Brought to you by the people who really wanted Bob Dole for president"

all 3 of them

9. LOL! Of course, that would be Libby, some wacko, and Bob Dole.

Listening to Bob Dole speak always reminded me of watching the "Smurfs." "He smurfed up his chance at the smurf because he nothing but a raging smurf!" :)

11. I'd forgotten about Bob Dole

Until your brilliant press release :evilgrin:

14. Thanks!

Turning McCain into Bob Dole should be no trouble at all.

18. You'll forget John McCain just as quickly.

24. "Bob Dole doesn't need this."

4. Does McCain have to resort to Viagra to get him some lobbyist nookie? n/t

[Clear Blue Sky]

5. Bob Dole

Bob Dole has a good sense of humor. McCain always seems like he's about to go postal.

7. I said that the day he won enough delegates to omit Huck!

John, like Bob, is a reasonably likeable guy, but BOTH OF THEM are just TOO DAMN OLD! They couldn't motivate the Pubs to vote for Bob, and they sure aren't going to get them to vote for John either!

And before someone beats me for picking on OLD PEOPLE, I'm almost 65 and I've seen how peoplereact to different public figures. I watch McCain and all I see is a tired old man.

8. Funny you should mention this

because that's exactly how we refer to McCain here in my office -- Bob Dole II. My boss even has a sign on his door that reads "Bob Dole for President", but with Dole's name replaced with John McCain.

10. Is McCain doing Viagra commercials?

[bulloney]

12. Depends

[tekisui]

13. I think he is the Old Bob Dole.

[triguy46]

15. Mccain is irrelevant. Bush III.

[L. Coyote]

17. McBush

16. Did he fall off the stage already?

[Leo 9]

23. Could be. I've already heard he's off his rocker.

19. Dole for Pineapple.

20. Although there wasn't much chance of him winning, I never felt a great fear of Bob Dole

being in the White House. Defiantly didn't want him there but there wasn't the "batshit crazy" worries.

21. Will John McCain fall off the platform after giving a stump speech?

Will John McCain refer to himself in the third person?

[johnfunk]

22. John McSame is the new Bush...

... only meaner, more foul-mouthed, and mentally unhinged from the torture to which the Vietcong subjected him...
