"Well, I'd like to see Gen. Petraeus warm up,” [former senator Bob] Dole said. “I don't know anything about his politics, whether he has an interest. It's kind of a time for another Eisenhower, in my view."Ha ha! I love the invocation of "another Eisnehower". Do they really want to elect a candidate who will lament the power of the Military/Industrial Complex? What kind of massive public works program will this "Eisenhower" work for? High speed rail, or maybe just fixing the current interstate system? Eisenhower himself sure as hell wouldnt have been promoting an interstate (privately run) toll system, which is what Republicans tend to shill for these days.
This isn't the first time the popular general's name has been floated as a possible GOP savior — and it won't be the last. Petraeus has political impulses but hasn't revealed if they are conservative ones, and he might not even be a Republican."

Also, the last former military "savior" they wanted was Colen Powell, whom most of them now regard as a traitorous Democrat wannabe. Wouldn't it be nice if after they went to all the trouble of promoting Petraeus, he turned out the same way?
It would, indeed.
Doesn't Bobby Dole have the beginnings of dementia?
Hmmmm, dunno. Doesnt dementia usually involve sharp memories of the past, as well as loopy ideas about the present? Maybe he's just got a case of Teh Stoopids. I hear it's going around.
No, he has always had teh stoopids.
Dementia in it's early form mirrors what ole Bobby has had to say lately. ;p
