Not to be confused with: "Call me Butch...I'm not trying to be Bob Dole. Some of my friends didn't know my name was Robert until this started."
Yeah, but...: "I have been a fan of his for a long time, and not just because of the name," Butch said of Bob. "I thought he did a good job in Congress. I wish he'd done a better job running for president."
Are you sure about that?: "At polling time I hope that everybody will know that Butch Dole is not Bob Dole."
Slogan: NO EXCUSES NO SNIVELING - OMG I have stickers JUST LIKE THOSE at home - did he and I attend the same trade shows back in the 90s?
Where the heck did THIS guy get $3500?: "There are so many things that we need to change and turn around. I'm not rich, and no lobbyists have ever contacted me. I will think for myself, and I know how to make a good decision. Because I'm a small businessman, I'm very frugal. I try not to spend more than I make."
Where the heck did THIS guy get $3500? Part two: Then, Dole had to discuss that $3,500 filing fee with his wife, Jeanie. "There was about 30 minutes of silence," Dole said. "Seemed like it. She finally said, `Go for it.'"
Good for him: Married 31 years
For Which We Thank Him: Website text: "I'm not going to waste your time by putting up fancy buttons and sending you to page after page of look at this and look what else I have here."
I just thought it was funny: "After being laid off in 1990, he launched Multiple Technologies Transport, a delivery service with one customer and a 10-year-old car."
I'm setting my watch by that hairdo, by God
Was this in danger of not happening?: "Would Tiger Woods be great if golfers didn't keep score? Would you even watch an NFL game of they didn't keep score? I think not. So why should we let our own children down by not grading them on their performance in school? Keep the A's and the 99's on the report cards, you'll be surprised what our children can do when they know you want them to compete."
All Politicians Lie: "It's time for change. Your vote for Robert 'Butch' Dole in this election will make that happen." (Actually, he did pretty well - finding something I could call a lie was tough. RUN BUTCH RUN)
Dole on Dole: The former senator said Butch Dole "sounds like a pretty nice guy...but if you don't have any money and any organization, it'll be tough. ... He should watch that Pepsi ad. Maybe some Viagra'll give him a lift." Damn, Dole sure knows where his bread is buttered THESE days, don't he?
Actually, the more I look at him, the more I find him ruggedly handsome. Maybe it's the nickname?
Vote for Butch Dole - the "call me Butch" candidate
LATER: I GOT A THEME GOING HERE, DADDY

Much as I love the idea of the human excrement that is Rob Black going into the penal system (get it, I said PENAL!) I cannot support this kind of crap.
