Bob Dole says the issue of Ford's pardon of Nixon isn't any more relevant than past wars, for which he blames the Democrats.

  • Actually it was fought with greatest intensity by LBJ who was a Democrat. LBJ was the one who milked the draft policy as much as a president legally could. People were burning there draft cards in protest of LBJ not Nixon. Nice UN-originality by the way with your repetition of how we don't need "divisive comments" in this country. First of all that opinion was worthless the first time it was spouted. It certainly wasn't necessary for you to mention it again for the seventh time.

  • Dole was playing the role of a hatchet man in this debate. Agree or disagree, he's hilarious. You almost expect him to start in. . ." Bob Dole wouldn't start a war! Bob Dole knows about sacrifice. Jimmy Carter's a coward, you know it, I know it, the American people know it!

    I miss his humor.

  • If these were all democrat wars...how is it that the military industrial complex(republicans) made all the money? Also why do other countries like Japan equate American flag waving, aggression and imperialism with the Republican Party. Pres. Dwight Eisenhour(sp) warned us about the military industrial complex way back in the 1950's. Hmmmnnnnn.....It finally came to pass?

  • @gchuggins I think it's a little bit more complex than that. Germany's economic troubles in the 1930s are as much to blame for the rise of Hitler as the supposedly harsh treaty of Versailles.

  • @Lab356: Democrat Woodrow Wilson's intervention in WWI a "war to end all wars" needlessly sacrificed over 100,000 American lives in a purely European, and wholly unnecessary war, that created the conditions which led to the communist revolution in Russia, the birth of the Nazi Party in Germany and the rise of Adolph Hitler. WWII was a continuation of WWI. If the US had not intervened in WWI, there would have been no WWII. We can Thank the Democrats for both WWI and WWII.

  • Talk about changing the subject!

  • @lawford83 Mondale gives his response: "I think Senator Dole has richly earned his reputation as a hatchet man tonight, by implying and stating that World War II and the Korean War were Democratic wars. Does he really mean to suggest to the American people that there was a partisan difference over our involvement in the war to fight Nazi Germany? I don't think any reasonable American would accept that." Apparently Dole had used the line more successfully in stump speeches!

  • The first American troops ("advisors") who went to Vietnam were sent by Eisenhower.

  • Let's go back into the past and not get involved in WWII and Korea!

    You're a great American, Mr. Dole!

  • Bob Dole says Bob Dole.

  • Oh btw thanks to the Democrats who made it possible for the USA to help Britain rid the world of a rather nasty fascist dictatorship
