Sen. Elizabeth Dole on John Raese

Dole: "'John Raese's conservative message and growing momentum from today’s primary win will propel him to victory in November,' said Senator Dole. 'John Raese is a proven vote getter in West Virginia, with the background and political experience to win this race. Senator Byrd[s voting record and principles are no longer in touch with mainstream West Virginians, and with a challenger as strong as John Raese, Senator Byrd's liberal record puts him in serious electoral danger."

I wonder if you saw John Raese on the back page of Wednesday, July 26, 2006 Martinsburg, West Virginia's The Journal? There he is wearing a suit toting a rifle over his shoulder! The caption reads, "West Virginia Needs A New Gun In Washington." I don't believe for one minute there is a woman in the country, let alone a US Senator such as yourself who would condone such an image /idea. Please do all you can to get John out of the running. His image may greatly damage the Republican Party. But far more troubling is the idea that a candidate would believe the idea of weapons held by and used by Senators would be useful in running this great country. This man is obvioulsy morally bankrupt! How wonderful we have confirmation of this through his newspaper image! Please don't support him in his run for the Senate

ionolsen21 I just don not have anything to say right now.
