You can't cite any, of course. Your "book" is ****. All it says is that

I haven't read the book. All I have done is look it over in the library.
But it was written not by a political opponent but by someone who was on
his staff for a long time. Besides that, who would write a book called
Senator for Sale if the senator in question had not made much money from
his official connections? Obviously the writer presents evidence that
Dole at least acted unethically in how he gained a lot of money, not
just a few bucks.


So you haven't read the book, and yet you are telling us what it
"obviously" says based solely on the title????????????????
For all you know then, it could be a complete refutation of that
premise.


I have a least seen the book in person, picked it up, looked at it and
read some of it.


"I haven't read the book." -- Hawke-Ptooey

You also wrote, "But it was written...by someone who was on his staff
for a long time." The author of the hatchet job, Stanley Hilton, wrote
that he worked as an aide to Dole "...back in 1979 and 1980." That's
not a long time, and he was not in any position to see how Dole made his
money.

Once again, you reveal your slovenliness and reckless disregard for facts.



You are criticizing the messenger when you don't know anything about the
book.


I don't see where he is making claims on what the book says, but even
if he did, I guess if he has also seen the cover, that would put you
on equal footing.


We are not on equal footing. I've held the book in my hands


What the ****...you can absorb the text through the palms of your hands?
You stupid flabby douchebag.
