The feeling is mutual with JFK and Truman. What the party used to be.

A decent likeable guy. An honorable man. Wish there were more pubs like him today.

No tears here. At 98 Robert Joseph Dole had lived a rich, full life and then some. He was a deeply devoted Christian and his rest is well earned. I am sure he will hear, "well done my good and faithful son" when he arrives at Heaven's Gate.

Good man, although disagreed with much of his platform. His party, and country, are totally different than when he left public service! I'll leave it at that!

A very good Republican man. We should be so lucky to live that long.

Not to mock the man's death or anything, but this is pretty funny:

Bob Dole Switches to Democrat Party

I would compare him to John Glenn...a very decent human being. RIP Senator Dole.

Saw a clip earlier today of Dole being interviewed by David Letterman. He really did have a great sense of humour. And a deadpan delivery with perfection timing.

Elizabeth Dole is still alive in her mid 80's. The ultimate power couple, she ran for POTUS in the year 2000.

Yes, he was a Disabled American Veteran. Rest in peace, and thank you for all your service.
I wrote to this friend last night and said, "Hey, I see your old boss died". She told me he wrote her a recommendation for a position four years ago--at the age of 94. Remembered her working for him in the 80s.
