On the recordMay 16, 1996
Bob Dole can run but he cannot hide. For the last year and a half, Bob Dole has led this Congress to cut Medicare, cut education, destroy the environment, attack a woman's right to choose, and pander to the gun lobby. Why is Bob Dole leaving the scene of the crime? Because he is getting caught in the crossfire, minimum wage, health care, Medicare. He knows what he should do but he cannot. The Republican right will not let him. Senator Dole is caught in the right wing's claws, and the reach of the right is long, and their hold is tight. Make no mistake about it. Leaving Washington will not break the Gingrich grip, Bob Dole. Bob Dole can run but he cannot hide.
