What's the difference? Bob Dole has pledged to veto any increase in income tax rates. Bush waffles on taxes. Dole was the leader in passing the 85 farm bill to save the family farm. Bush had nothing to do with it. Dole is fighting to strengthen President Reagan's INF Treaty so the Russians don't cheat. Bush endorsed the treaty before he even read it. Dole opposed selling arms to Iran. Bush supported the arms for hostages deal. Dole, the difference is leadership. Thanks for watching!

Scope and Contents

In this 1988 political advertisement, Dole, Robert Joseph (Bob), is presented as a strong leader by contrasting his positions on key issues—tax policy, the 1985 Farm Bill, the INF Treaty with the USSR, and opposition to arms sales to Iran—with those of his opponent, Bush, thereby emphasizing Dole’s decisiveness and experience.
