Bob Dole's Latest Letter Against Steve Forbes
Now Sen. Dole has issued his second letter, hoping really to spell out for us what some of his feelings are. This time he has placed the ad with us instead of the Register (which doesn't make very much sense but it's true; God knows we'd never lie.) Of course we appreciate the $1,000 check and we're very happy to post his views. (Any other candidates wishing to run a rebuttal or perhaps to agree with Sen. Dole are welcome to contact us for our rates. And we have a bluelight special for Steve Forbes, $2,000 for the same amount of space. Why our hostility to Steve Forbes? Because we read Sen. Dole's letter here and the man sounds really bad!) |

PAID ADVERTISEMENT More Reasons I Hate Steve Forbes' Guts This second letter is written because I believe Steve Forbes is despicable and I want the world to know it. As I said in my first letter, Steve Forbes is hellbent on damaging the Republican Party and destroying our eventual nominee. I have been virtually silent on this subject for about a week now, but feel that once again I must speak up. Again, I accept full responsibility for our loss in 1996. But by such acceptance I do not mean to imply that I alone am to blame. In large measure, my defeat was due to one person, Steve Forbes, the perpetrator of tactics that were completely deceptive and full of distortion. Anyone who followed the race closely would agree that he and all his money damaged the process and thoroughly disgusted many voters. Now he's back, and as disgusting as ever. And the voters have a choice to make. The polls suggest that Forbes doesn't stand a chance. So the question could be asked: "Why is he running?" My own opinion is that he is simply a hateful person who wants to continue his perverse reign of terror against the Republican party. He's not the man that Pat Buchanan is, with the guts and decency to bow out and leave when he is no longer wanted. No, Forbes has great resources and knows he can twist the facts, distort his opponents' records, and still claim to be a good Republican. I've said it before, that politics is rough and tumble, and all who enter the arena do so at their own risk. But people expect some level of decency and even some maturity (perhaps call it patriotism), not the kind of thing that Steve Forbes has or knows about. Steve Forbes' corruption is base and pervasive, like a cancer that eats away everything around it and finally consumes itself. While he's not busy spreading gossip and rumors about Gary Bauer's sex life, while he's not trying to undercut George W. Bush with private investigators and old bar photos, while he's not hiring psychiatrists to raise questions about John McCain's deteriorating mental condition, he's still very busy, pulling up campaign signs from people's yards. This is entirely inappropriate, because those yards are private property. This perpetrator of pure perniciousness must be stopped. Believe me, he's as cold as he looks. He's got less charm than Richard Nixon cornered. He makes Mussolini look like Pollyanna. He wipes his nose on the last shred of decency. And he's still "gotta go." Steve Forbes is a terrible, terrible person, like Stalin with a migraine. Watch out for him and his relentless negative and deceptive onslaught against his opposition, and ultimately against the voters and our nation. And then reject him. 1996 was where Steve Forbes started, against me. 2000 must be where Steve Forbes ends! The sage words of John Milton, William Shakespeare, and the Pope still apply: Milton said, "Satan was the first that practised falsehood under saintly show." But we might add, he wasn't the last! And Shakespeare said it best when he wrote, "One may smile and smile and be a villain still." Take a real good look at that icy glare of Steve Forbes, and watch that smile of his. Behind his smile is a deadly threat: "I will destroy you like I destroyed Bob Dole. I will crush the Republican party like I crushed Bob Dole. I will extinguish the last flicker of hope and integrity of America like I extinguished the hope and integrity of Bob Dole in 1996." And finally, it was the Pope who said, "He who tells a lie is not sensible how great a task he undertakes; for he must invent twenty more to maintain that one." Steve Forbes is at that task, not telling twenty lies alone, but with twenty he's just getting warmed up and then he eats breakfast! Voters, I hope you have a great time during this primary season, and may the best candidate prevail because of his record, his proposals and his integrity. And may that never be Steve Forbes.
P.S. Thank you for your support in 1988 & 1996. And thank you, Viagra, for your support in 2000. Paid for by Bob Dole and not authorized by any candidate's committee, including Steve Forbes'. |

Bob Dole, pen in hand, jots down some of his feelings of rage about Steve Forbes

Read Bob Dole's Second Letter Again for the First Time!
Bob Dole is on a tear! If he'd been this energetic in
'96 we'd ALL own Viagra stock now. Anyway, his crusade NOW is against
fellow Republican Steve Forbes. According to Dole, calling Forbes a
Republican is foolishness; Forbes is a wolf in sheep's clothing, with
the very description being an insult to wolves and well-dressed sheep everywhere.
But now that Forbes has overtaken George W. Bush in
every national poll, Dole feels he can no longer be silent. First, he
ran an ad in the Des Moines Register. That was criticized,
however, as being "too mild," "milquetoast," and
even "flaccid." Well, we don't know exactly what happened.
But we saw Sen. Dole step into a phone booth and take SOMETHING. And
he came out basically a new man! Even the pen in his hand was
standing tall and had a little cape and an insignia on its barrel: "SP".
So now there's a second letter from the former
Presidential hopeful. And it's hot! Burning hot, boiling with anger,
blazing with flames, really it's over-the-top with redhot rage and
condemnatory fire. It's seething with volcanic heat! But within its
words perhaps somehow, just perhaps, the country will hear the
voice of calm reason. Is Steve Forbes really as despicable as Sen.
Dole makes him out to be? You be the judge, but make this critical
decision...before it's too late! |

Bob
Dole's letter in The Des Moines Register,
a paid advertisement (Jan. 15, 2000), came just before the Iowa
caucuses. Without mentioning Steve Forbes by name, Sen. Dole hinted
that he still harbors some resentment against Forbes for the 1996 campaign.
