\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Bob Dole says that the Republican Party should be “closed for repairs” because it\u2019s so out of whack. Here, we have two sound bites. This is Bob Dole. He was on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, who said, “What do you think of your party, of the Republicans today, Senator Dole?”<\/p>\n

DOLE: I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says, “Closed for repairs” until New Year\u2019s Day next year, and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: So Chris Wallace then said, “Now, you described the GOP of your generation as Eisenhower Republicans, moderate Republicans. Could people like Bob Dole — or even Ronaldus Magnus — could you make it, Senator Dole, in today\u2019s Republican Party?” <\/p>\n

DOLE: I doubt it. Not… Reagan couldn\u2019t have made it. Certainly Nixon couldn\u2019t have made it, \u2019cause he had ideas, and, uhh. We mighta made it, but I doubt it.<\/p>\n
