re: #502 engineer dog

i heard a conservative rank and file guy once say that “the ‘party of lincoln’ was a liberal party!”. i don’t think he was in favor of it…

and i had that remark in mind when i heard bob dole say at his acceptance speech at the republican national convention in 1996 “…and tonight the republican party is the party of lincoln, and if anybody here doesn’t like it, the exits are clearly marked”

i believe i saw some shocked faces in the crowd…

I’m Bob Dole damn it!
