The Tea Party should listen to an old veteran:

How many times has the media shown Bob Dole defending a Republican position lately?



Try never.



As for "making it in his own party", how about JFK?

The Tea Party should ignore bygones.

The Tea Party would be very foolish to ignore the wisdom a WWll hero and a member of the Unites States Congress for 35 years!

A very popular, retired senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe, chimes in:

"Snowe said both Republicans and Democrats bear responsibility but that the GOP must reevaluate its outlook if it wants to become a majority party again."

Aside from the effects of continuing voter fraud, there's a very good chance that the incompetence of the Obama adminstration will resolve Americans to reach out to the "Party of Adults".

If you've heard Bob Dole recently, he sounds 200 years old. Quoting him in his later years doesn't make for "genius".

Dole is a war hero and still of sound mind! You just don't like his message. I suppose you're going to say that Olympia Snowe has lost it as well. All politics is local, and Snowe would have easily won reelection if she chose to run again. She just got fed up with the logjam in the Senate created by the Tea Party. Reid should get on with it and change the rules.

A war hero Presidential-candidate loses to an lawyer-slimeball who hated America and delivered his message from Moscow!

I'd like to read where she said exactly that.

Changing the rules is always better than breaking them:

"On Dec. 8, 2006, Senator Reid made a very public pledge: "As majority leader," he said, "I intend to run the Senate with respect for the rules and for the minority rights the rules protect.

The Senate was not established to be efficient … The Senate was established to make sure that minorities are protected ... I am going to do everything I can to preserve the traditions and rules of this institution that I love."

Well said Kitty Cat. I await the response.
