Former presidential candidate Bob Dole tells Loserville host Chris Wallace that the Republican Party is screwing up "big time" and it's probably too late to stop the damage. |
Former Kansas senator and two time presidential failure Bob Dole makes an appearance on Loserville Sunday with Chris Wallace. The former majority leader had some choose words for the current aspects of the Republican Party.
A party that should shut the doors and stay closed for repairs. Come back in the next business days says the 90-year old Dole.
The Republican and his wife Elizabeth Dole were once proud moderate Republicans. Dole retired from the senate in 1996 and left politics. His wife Elizabeth served one term as senator from North Carolina. She was defeated by Kay Hagen.
The president's agenda is too radical. Our jobs as Republicans is to see forth its failure - Minority Leader of The Senate Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) |
"It seems almost unreal that we can't get together on a budget or legislation," he said on "Fox News Sunday." "We weren't perfect, by a long shot, but at least we got our work done."
Dole, who served in the Senate from 1969 to 1996, wasn't fully critical of the president, but said part of the problem is that he "lacks communication with Congress" and should have gotten together with members earlier in his presidency.
Dole joked at first when asked by host Chris Wallace to quickly give his thoughts on President Barack Obama. "He's a great golfer, very articulate," Dole responded.
Still, he acknowledged it's not easy to work with the Senate, where he said "no doubt about it," cloture is being abused. He didn't spare the Republican Party his criticism, saying they need to be "closed for repairs" and come up with more plans and a vision for the future before the end of the year. Wallace asked him whether he'd even fit in with the Republican Party today.
"I doubt it," Dole replied. "Reagan wouldn't have made it, certainly Nixon wouldn't have made it, because he had ideas. We might have made it, but I doubt it."
No more backroom deals! - Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) |
"Howard Baker said running the Senate is like herding cats, and it takes leadership," he said. "Somebody has to stand up and say, 'We're not going to do this.'"
King Hippo, The Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win, Turd Flipper, Chalk E Becker and Palin Da Ass are primarily the reasons to why the Republican Party is so screwed up!
