Dole/Kemp ’96

[ 45 ] December 1, 2012 | Erik Loomis

Just in case anyone wanted to play around on the official Dole/Kemp website, which miraculously still exists. I know I look forward to following along on the victory marathon.

    Now that’s conservatism.

      It’s amazing how much more entertaining the Dole/Kemp site is just because it has its own URL, unlike the rest of the 4president sites.

      Lovely material at the site. I particularly like here where they have captured Dole’s “OFFICIAL WORLD WIDE WEB INTERNET SITE,” presumably from the primary, featuring separate entry links for “Netscape users” versus “Other users.”

    Did that guy who had the Dole/Kemp tattoo on his face ever get it removed?

    Surely someone has started building campaign sites for pre-internet elections.

    Bare ruined choirs where late the wingnuts sang.

    Bob Dole is a strong believer in America’s public education system. He, his wife and his daughter were educated in public schools. But today, too many public schools have been taken over by an education monopoly that fails to give our children the skills they need to compete in our global economy.

    Makes you wonder who was running the public schools when Bob and Elizabeth attended.

      Just throwing money at the problem is not the answer. In the past 30 years, per-pupil spending on education has doubled, yet average SAT scores have dropped over 50 points.

      Obviously spending less money is the answer.

      This is a reference to charter schools, I guess? Since this was before relentless teachers-union bashing was fashionable. Of course Dems have mostly given in or co-opted on charter schools, without any significant measurable benefits to education. But at least we now have a “centrist” education policy. Pay no attention to whether or not it’s good policy. If the union bashing continues I’m sure we can expect more of the same.

    “Bill Clinton Wants to Put “Big Brother” in Your Computer”

    Finally, the Republicans are taking a principled stand against government monitoring of the internet.

    “The Story of American Heros”??? I think they mistook “H” for “Z”.

    I dunno I was pretty agnostic about that election. Dole was one of the last of a dying breed (sane Republican), and Clinton was, of course, our most charming Republican. Especially after DOMA-I get that DADT was a compromise, but DOMA? NAFTA-predated him but he signed it. And he had already appointed my woman RBG anyway.

      Funny to think that Dole was one of the few Republican Presidential candidates that finished his political career as a respected figure both in and out of his party. Think about that roll call for a minute: Nixon (unindicted co-conspirator), Ford (corporate board sitter, golfer), Reagan (Living Saint– we were spared his post-presidential musings by virtue of his Alzheimer), Bush pere (pals around with Clinton, raised taxes. I’m sure he is airbrushed out of more photographs than he is in), Bush fils (President for eight years, presently a non-person) McCain (the cranky old man of the Senate), and now Mittens. Of them all McCain is the only one likely to be invited to the next Republican National Convention.

    He wasn’t all that sane.

      You’re absolutely right and I admit that I overstated it a bit. I should just take ownership of the fact that I was disaffected with the Clinton Administration and while Dole was hardly a great candidate, and especially compared to the Republican field we had this year, he doesn’t seem all that bad.

    Bill Clinton’s administration prosecuted only 18 individuals under the Violence Against Women Act since it was passed in 1994.

    how quaint. almost makes the republicans look sane, by comparison to the current inmates of the GOP asylum. what’s funny though, is the railing against the then current public school system, as opposed to the one that dole, his wife and daughter were educated in, which republicans campaigned against, for the very same reasons.

    republicans have been trying to off the public school system, since the modern republican party began, shortly after the civil war. an educated public is a dangerous thing to the republican party, since an educated populace would never vote for a republican candidate. they’ve known this since forever, thus their hatred for any education of the non-wealthy masses.

    The Dole/Kemp crossword puzzle link is down.

    I’m guessing it wasn’t the CLINTON WINS puzzle from the NYT.

    I know that this is a little different, but has anybody used the Wayback Machine to see Barack Obama’s faculty webpage at University of Chicago?

      Did he have one? I think he was just an adjunct, which often means just a page with a name and an email address (and maybe a link to his page at the state senate).

    I like that the “immigration” page is really just the anti-illegal immigration page. Just wall-to-wall attacks on Clinton for being soft on illegal immigrants.
