Bob Dole, the former Senate Republican leader, wrote an insistent letter to Rush Limbaugh on Monday and suggested that for the good of the party, the conservative talk-show host should stop his strafing of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

On Monday's show, Limbaugh asserted that McCain has "lied about his reason for opposing the Bush tax cuts," and added: "I think McCain has an animus toward the Republican Party. I think ever since South Carolina 2000 he's had it in for the Republican Party, and one of his objectives is to destroy it and change it."

McCain, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, has always had a shaky relationship with the party’s conservative base.

In a letter released Monday evening by McCain's campaign, Dole strongly defended the senator’s conservative credentials, noting that his voting record is opposed to abortion and supportive of gun-owner rights.

if he can't weaken McCain by taking away the base than NO ONE CAN

You're the individual who asked why Ted Kennedy had never run for President, yes?

As we want them to fight with each other.
I believe you knew the answer, but wanted to bring up an old thread that made you upset.

Mon Feb-04-08 09:49 PM is an old thread as compared to this one.

Didn't upset me so much as make me lose all hope. Okay, it upset me. Educate yourself, please.

:evilgrin:

through this whole ordeal and now the cheerleaders want to throw McCain under the bus? No love lost here for McCain, but these people are just idiots.
Bush's tax cuts for the rich were fiscally irresponsible and these repub idiots are championing a record deficit to slam McCain? They need to pay for this mess they've made, big time!

The Bush crime family values loyalty above all else, and I think in the reptilian brains of Bush's dwindling band of cheerleaders, McCain showed disloyalty by running against the capo in 2000.

More republican in-fighting!!! Less Democratic in-fighting.

I'll vote for yours if you vote for mine (in the GE, of course).

Let's take back the White House and Congress and get down to the business of cleaning up this mess.

thinks he's a "kingmaker". What a schmo.
