The People are often confused about what Republican politicians actually believe while they are in office. Only after they leave office and being out of the spotlight becomes intolerable or the People's Media decides to support the People's Agenda and these politicians are dragged from their rocking chairs and propped up for interviews; only then does their true ideology become clear.
One recent display has been made by Bob Dole on the People's CBS. Was Bob Dole truly a conservative or just plain conservative or even marginally conservative? Did he respect the constitution and was he willing to fight for it as a matter of principle? Or did Bill Clinton mop the 1996 presidential campaign floor with a wet, sloppy Bob Dole who did not really stand for much of anything except his own path to power and prosperity.
The recent true conservative infiltration into government by constitutionally dogmatic incumbents disconcerts our champions on the left and those in the middle who are willing to happily move in either direction to advance their own well being. These new constitutionalists are disparaged as bullies and obstructionists who are destroying the Republican party and the very U.S. government from whom we derive our sustenance and happiness.
To quote Bob:
"I think they ought to put a sign on the [Republican] national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs ..."
"Reagan wouldn't have made it. Certainly Nixon couldn't have made it, because he had ideas,"
"I'm not a critic of the president, but I think one mistake he's made was not getting together more with Congress earlier on, in his first administration,"
It is clear now why Bob lost to Bill. When the only real difference is age and personality why not choose youth and charisma?
But The People must thank Bob for his years of not standing in the way of The People's agenda. We couldn't have done it without you, Bob.
Bob does have a point. Republicans need to come up with ideas. Becoming energy independent by developing our natural resources, what kind of idea is that? Pouring billions into failed ideas on wind and solar, now that is what we are talking about.
