What do we know about Bill Clinton? That he eats junk food, digs the saxophone, doesn’t inhale and feels your pain. And Bob Dole? He’s a quick-witted legislative leader with the TV personality of overcooked asparagus, a decorated World War II veteran who, despite his 73 years, is as healthy as a (73-year-old) horse.
Interesting details, perhaps, but not necessarily the makings of good presidents. What do we know about Clinton or Dole as decision-makers? As an antidote to the preponderance of ink devoted to personality politics and party maneuverings in this election year, we offer a brief look at what the candidates’ actual records show.
Dole used to tell biting jokes about Reagan era supply-siders. Now that he’s introduced a supply-sidesque economic plan for the future, do those jokes still apply? Is Clinton really tough on crime? You decide by checking out where the candidates stand–and where they’ve stood–on issues that really matter.
