What do you make of it? well, for a moment, i m not too concerned about what they say about me. bob dole is a man who left parts of his body in the killing fields of northern italy in world war ii. any united states senator, whether they were republican, liberal or moderate or conservative, will tell you his leadership of news the united states senate was the best we ever had. he is a wonderful ask descent american, and to start trashing bob dole is not appropriate. in fact, bob dole wasn t bob dole s debating skills that harmed it. in his attempt to defeat bill clinton, it was because newt gingrich in his wisdom decided we needed to shut down the government in 1995, and that really did receive very dams to bob dole s chances because bill clinton was emerged vicious,
In terms of the bar, we talked about beating expectations, he did that last night. i think that you had to walk away with a new opinion of romney s debating skills. gingrich s team say they are working on a new ad. they plan to unveil it soon in florida. participant of the ad will feature mike huckabee. let me a play a bit of the old ad that gingrich wants to bring back to life. i m mike huckabee because we have the right to know the truth about mitt romney s dishonest attack and even an american hero, john mccain. romney s record over $700 million in new taxes left office with a deficit, no executions, supported gun control and romney s mandated health plan provided a $50 copay for
