SENATOR FOR SALE
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
I am fortunate where I live to have a public access radio
|
|
station, WEFT, offering me news and points of view not normally
|
|
heard via the corporate media monopoly. Broadcast on WEFT this
|
|
August 17th was an interview of one Stanley Hilton(sp?), author
|
|
of an apparently current book on Bob Dole entitled *Senator For
|
|
Sale*.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, my tape recorder crapped out and though I thought
|
|
I had a recording of Mr. Hilton's remarks which I could lean on,
|
|
I now find I must rely on brief notes and on my memory of what
|
|
was said.
|
|
|
|
This past week we have been "treated" to massive broadcast
|
|
coverage of the Republican Convention in San Diego. Even though
|
|
it was already in the bag that Dole would be the nominee and Jack
|
|
Kemp his running mate, nonetheless the whole boring affair was
|
|
dragged out night after night as the "suspense" grew: Gosh, who
|
|
were the Publicans going to pick?
|
|
|
|
Who were these people that hogged every channel? One source said
|
|
that one in eight of the delegates were millionaires. Syndicated
|
|
columnist Mike Royko is supposed to have stated in his newspaper
|
|
column that *one* *in* *four* were millionaires. So we had GOP
|
|
Hogfest, night after night, with the whole boring bunch of them
|
|
-- Colin Powell, Nancy Reagan, Son-of-Bush.... No wonder people
|
|
are depressed.
|
|
|
|
And the Thing was on every channel! It seemed you couldn't
|
|
escape It! It was as if It was required viewing, as if the
|
|
citizens were being *forced* to watch! What's next? Will we be
|
|
forced to vote?
|
|
|
|
After the Publican infomercial had been brow-beaten into the
|
|
minds of Mr. and Mrs. Couch Potato, polls supposedly showed that
|
|
Dole had narrowed the gap between himself and William J. But
|
|
wouldn't you think people would be angry at the Publicans for
|
|
making them miss their sitcoms? (This editor didn't bother to
|
|
watch. He read a book instead.)
|
|
|
|
Some of the dirt I gleaned from listening to Mr. Hilton on WEFT
|
|
is that "Beltway Bob" Dole voted *for* the World Trade
|
|
Organization (WTO). That he has consistently voted *for* tax
|
|
increases. Hilton, who formerly worked for Beltway Bob in a
|
|
high-level capacity, described how those seeking legislation
|
|
gained access to the Kansas senator: First requirement was how
|
|
much money they could hand over; then, if the bucks were enough,
|
|
Senator Dole, according to Hilton, would help provide special
|
|
legislation for them.
|
|
|
|
Yes, Beltway Bob has been saying how he's going to bust up the
|
|
State's mind control army, a.k.a. "the teacher's union" -- but
|
|
do you believe him? William J. made big promises about a $32
|
|
billion economic stimulus package, meant to boost jobs, before he
|
|
suckered people into voting for him. Then, before he had even
|
|
been inaugurated, he revised it to a $16 billion package.
|
|
Finally, to my recollection, he made a half-hearted attempt for a
|
|
$800,000 jobs stimulus package, and I'm not even sure he
|
|
delivered on even that! Instead, Billy Boy just said (after he'd
|
|
grabbed the votes he needed), "Hey. 'conomy good."
|
|
|
|
So look at Bob Dole and ask yourself: Do you trust his promises?
|
|
Would you buy a used car from him?
