Although I am not a political person, I really and truly believe that Bob Dole was a good man. I just get that feeling from watching him in this video. My prayers goes out to his family.

Bob and Elizabeth Dole: one of the greatest power couples of Washington.

[@grantdole]

I have so much more respect for the Doles after watching this. Great people. Bob will be missed.

Bob was always a good sport for being teased about the pen in his hand.

[@michaelvickers89]

Rest In Peace American hero. 😢🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@patr70]

He is one *Strong* man to be able to fully bounce back from his injuries. He also could have easily ended up drinking or becoming addicted to drugs. He was very good looking when he was young.

[@ericdreizen1463]

Oh, he was a pill-popper alright. Around the Hill, they called him "BOB 'OXYCODIN' DOLE!" UH HUH!!

[@jessetorres8738]

Here's something interesting to consider: Any World War 2 veteran still alive today has to be at least 94 years old if they turned 18 in 1945.

God Bless You Bob Dole

Morely Safer is a legend. One of the first journalists who reported the truth from Vietnam.

[@suzanne296]

A man of great character and integrity. Will miss him.

The last of the Great Generation.

[@pamelafolger8449]

Beautiful Couple! 😊💖🙏🌻🇺🇸👍

[@urbegumela1107]

The Doles are an extraordinary people setting good example for Americans. Polite, modest, candid, straightforward and bipartisan. Would have been one of the best couples at Whitehouse.

[@Terr3fic-1]

What a lovely comradeship they had.

[@kc0lif]

great man with a great wife.

[@bluetree9476]

I love the man and women ! American male is gentleman! we respect the man and the wife，how a nice and prttey woman !

[@ericdreizen1463]

Bob wanted Reagan to put his wife Elizabeth on the Supreme Ct: "Bob Dole wants his wife to be a Justice!" he exclaimed! Reagan retorted, "THAT BEACH?? SHE COULDN'T BE A DOG CATCHER!!!" UH HUH!!

[@edwardjnarrojr3135]

Incredible patriot, both of them. Washington Power couple

60Minutes continues its unbroken record of violating equal access civil rights obligations under US federal law by not providing accurate, synchronized captions - and Google-KZbin continues to be complicit and criminally negligent. Why? 12-6-2021

[@TedCohen1]

One of the few maimed in war lucky enough to come home - and then even become a government-sponsored, big-spending millionaire on the taxpayer dime.

[@williamkelly8026]

Morley destroyed his voice from decades and decades of heavy cigarette smoking. This was recorded before viewers could hear thick heavy mucous rattling and shortness of breath. Rather noticeable to regular viewers

[@iamAwesomo1994]

maybe we SHOULD have dealt with the deficit in 84'....

[@007thematrix007]

bob dole an institution .....

[@luzalgarin9518]

Jehovah God, the Almighty Creator, according to Isaiah 25:8, will eliminate death from earth: "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it." And Revelation 21:4: "And He (Jehovah) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

[@FormerHumanX]

Remember when Republicans cared about the deficit? Remember when Republican Senators would stand up to a Republican president? Those honorable men are long gone.

[@jl3322]

He was a Trump supporter-in the end he lost all credibility as a statesman and war hero.

[@jjpp5604]

Only to the un-American.

[@tdtvegas]

Elizabeth Dole. Big government RINO! She can go to the opposite place her late husband went to.. America First🇺🇸

[@robertyates9500]

What a stupid and hateful thing to say from a typical far-right ignoramus.

[@kaptrucking]

RINO
