Elizabeth Dole

Elizabeth Dole is the embodiment of what a marriage team is about in America. She is a role model for “Love is not jealous.” So, too, is Bob Dole. She could be president of any job she set her mind to go after, but she is a student of the Reagan philosophy that says, “We can accomplish anything if we are willing to let others get the credit.”

We will have two confident, trustworthy, honest, self-assured leaders for our country with the Doles in the White House.

* When Elizabeth Dole spoke to the Republican convention in support of her husband and his beliefs, she was complimented and cheered by the delegates. When Hillary Clinton talks and travels on behalf of her husband and the causes in which they both believe, she is castigated and condemned as being pushy, ambitious and aggressive.

I thought equal rights and respect were due all women, not just Republican women!

* Elizabeth Dole dazzled America the way Jackie Kennedy overpowered the French years ago.

* I am a handicapped man of 75 years who contracted polio at age 5. I was shocked to see Elizabeth Dole talking to the Republican convention and the nation about her husband’s loss of his right arm during combat in World War II. Then I heard Kemp say he will be Dole’s right hand. While saying this he appeared to shed tears. These statements appear to a handicapped person that they are trying to get sympathy votes for the candidate because of his disability. Ask any handicapped person and they will tell you, they do not want sympathy, just to be treated with dignity.

We had a president, Franklin Roosevelt, who had polio and large braces on his legs and could not walk except with aid. He gave instructions to the press that they were never to show or refer to his handicap.

* Now that Kemp has flipped and Dole has flopped, will they continue to accuse Bill Clinton of flip-flops? Will the similarities between Elizabeth Dole and Hillary Clinton continue to be presented as differences? Well, at least it’s nice to know who the GOP has chosen for its double standard-bearers.
