#3"As a 21-year-old platoon leader, Dole was trying to pull a radioman from the line of fire when he was struck in the upper back and right arm...It took three years of treatment and countless setbacks before he was able to recover from the wounds, although he lost the use of his right arm and most of the feeling in his left."
Thank you for your military service Senator. Rest in peace.

#4Like John McCain, Dole’s politics did not agree with mine but he went through some serious sh*t serving our country, so a heartfelt “thank you.”

#5This has been a week of discovering people I'd assumed were dead were still alive (although in this case, not so much anymore). The other one is Henry Kissinger whom I'd assumed had died decades ago but it turns out is still alive and putting his name on books.
Re: Bob Dole has died
#6I always wonder if the Republicans nominated him in 1996 because they thought he could win or just as honorary thing given they probably couldn’t win with anyone.
It felt like one of the most lopsided elections of my lifetime (I was too young to pay attention to politics when Dukakis ran.)

I wouldn't be surprised if the latter. I don't know that the Rs had anyone who could compete with Clinton on charisma which is always dangerous. Hell when Bush Sr ran he didn't realize what he was going up against until it was too late.

So much better and mature than the typical Reddit comment when a conservative dies. Hopefully HN doesn't degenerate too fast, the maturity level is what keeps me here.
