There’s an old saying: “There are lies, and there are damn lies”.
Well, I suggest there are Republicans, (Old School), and there are damn Republicans (Model 2.0).
WWII Disabled veteran and former Senator, Bob Dole, is from the Old School. Sadly, his kind are rapidly disappearing, and being replaced by the (cold and stingy) Mod 2.0 version.
As The Grey Lady notes:
“ . . . after Mr. Dole’s wife, Elizabeth, rolled him off the floor, Republicans quietly voted down the treaty that the ailing Mr. Dole, recently released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, so longed to see passed.”
And:
“A majority of Republicans who voted against the treaty, which was modeled on the Americans With Disabilities Act, said they feared that it would infringe on American sovereignty.”
They have no shame.
