B-1 Bob back?
I just got off the phone with former congressman and talk show host Bob Dornan, who is considering. . . a run for President.
“I can’t stand the thought of my party having as its three front-runners three open adulterers, Newt Gingrich, Giuliani, and McCain,” Dornan said.
“I’ve got one mission left in me, to come up to New Hampshire and tell the truth, and tell the Republicans you better find yourself a fresh face and not Rudy Giuliani who took his mistress around with him and then divorces Donnna who learns she was divorced sitting at home watching TV with her children.
“We need a fresh face if the Republican Party is going to appeal to an Orthodox Jewish, Evangelical or practicing Catholic.”
Aside from adultery, Dornan’s other issue is homosexuality, which he called “a cancer in my party.”
He said he’d consider backing the right candidate or even running for President himself.
“Fifteen hundred bucks (to file for President)? It would be worth it if I could stand in front of a huge audience again and say, folks, is the Republican Party the party of values, the party of life?”
Dornan said he’d toyed with the idea of running as the Presidential nominee of the Constitution Party, which holds its New England meeting in Concord on Dec. 1, but is leaning against it after seeing how poorly third parties did in last week’s election.
Somehow, I just don’t foresee B-1 Bob leading the Republican Party back to its glory days on an anti-homosexual, anti-adultery platform. But he sure would make the 2008 primary a lot more fun, especially if his nemesis Newt decides to run. It’d be like Steel vs. Iron Man.

Bob Dornan is a wacko but the Republican party needs a conservative. Dan Quayle is the man.

March to Loserdom: Dornan Joins the Race
The ‘08 Republican Primaries will be enormously entertaining. Especially now that Bob f-ing Dornan has thrown his hat in the ring: “I can’t stand the thought of my party having as its three front-runners three open adulterers, Newt Gi…

I just love to see extremist wackos fight each other–In fact, I can’t get enough of it.
The ENTIRE GOP is corrupt and Satanically Evil—Just to varying degrees depending on the individual.
Fact, not opinion, folks.

So gay people are a “cancer?” Good luck running for office Bob. Maybe there’s a playground some place where you can be elected Bully.

Yeah, Bob Dornan…bringing sanity to the Republican Party…not! Whatever happened to Jack Kemp? He was a smart, moderate, conservative. Notice I didn’t say Republican, because this party’s been taken over by fascist jackboots and extremists — just as the Democratic Party had with the moonbats. It’s time the Republican leadership start recognizing mature, responsible, and above all, intelligent people. Leadership comes from the middle and not the fringes. Both Clinton and Reagan were moderates and we’ve fared much better under them. Ban the crazies.

Does this man have draft age kids?
Does he not realize that this president lied to get us into war?
That he is stripping our FREEDOMS?
What is is with the republican party and homosexuals?
I do not get it.
What about Delay NEY, Abramoff, Scooter libby, etc and all the curruption in congress.
Honestly!!!!!!

B-1 out of mothballs
Ten years ago in Vent #9, I listed Republican alternatives to Bob Dole in order of increasing implausibility level: Pat Buchanan or Benito Mussolini or a three-toed sloth or Bob Dornan. Mussolini is out, being dead and all, the sloth…

Fifteen Hundred Bucks And A Big Bowl Of Crazy
If you love political theater, then you love Bob Dornan. Word is that he is looking for one more race in the sun and it might just be the 2008 Presidential Election. The Republican field is looking pretty weak…

With 11 marriages between “Gingrich, Giuliani, and McCain”, they should be able to give us all a bunch of advice on family values. They sure have had enough of them.

Bob was a classmate of mine in H/S, he was nuts then and getting nuttier all the time.He is such a bad joke, mostly on himself. Go get em Bob! Something to keep you off the streets for awhile+

To quote Clinton: “When I see Bob Dornan it looks like he neede a rabies shot.” When he talks now withouit the beard, he sounds like he needs one. No way I could vote for him, but his presence in the Republican group would show the religious and right wing bigotry and expose McCain, Gingrich and Giuliani. He forgot to mention Rudy’s name ends with a vowel.

Yeah Bobs a little nuts. However, I would like to sit down and share a short case with him for a give and take discussion cuz old Bob speaks for a whole lot of people who are also citizens like us. I don’t like very much of what he says but I very much want to understand it. I guarantee you that given a few hours with the guy I could change his opinion on a few things. Bob is passionate about the things he sees as the “truth” and resists any other viewpoints out of hand. Starting slowly with the first glass of grog I would lead him to some “for him” uncomfortable facts that are no longer in debate. Dico, Ergo, Sum. Basically logic and facts always leads to truth. By glass no. six we would probably be talking about sex, or our grandkids, but by then he would have been forced to admit to the validity of my arguments. Bob is, after all, a reasonable guy. Yuk Yuk
