Dole Kemp '96

Not that I ever gave a wit about Bob Dole, but this is HN relevant:<p>Bill Clinton Wants to Put &quot;Big Brother&quot; in Your Computer<p>Bill Clinton believes in bureaucratic micro-management of the information economy.<p>Within his first 100 days as President, Bill Clinton proposed the Clipper Chip -- a secret government-controlled encryption algorithm -- and a companion key escrow system where two government agencies would hold a copy of the keys for every Clipper user. Since then Bill Clinton has released updated versions of encryption proposals which insist that the government hold a key to individual&#x27;s private data communications.<p>The Clinton Administration&#x27;s Internet Task Force has proposed legislation that would reduce the rights of users of copyrighted material if that information is used on the Internet. Their infamous &quot;NII White Paper&quot; ignored important court decisions which balance the rights of information users with those of information creators.<p>Bob Dole Will Protect the Constitutional Liberty of Internet Users...

Whenever I hear about Dole, I think immediately of Kang and Kodos:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=4v7XXSt9XRM" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=4v7XXSt9XRM</a>

Getting a 503.<p>From web.archive.org: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20150403043329&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dolekemp96.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20150403043329&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;dolekemp96...</a>

Not only is this site still up (I&#x27;m assuming parts of it have gone down since it was originally posted), but the web-design firm that built the site still has a functioning front-page, made with the rock-hard kind of HTML design that maintain its appearance and functionality for at least the next decade of browser and standards changes:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.presageinc.com&#x2F;Presage%20Digital%20Stratgies.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.presageinc.com&#x2F;Presage%20Digital%20Stratgies.html</a><p>I think 1996 were the days in which high school age kids could get $30-$50 an hour making webpages of this quality for local businesses. That&#x27;s not bad small town money when you adjust for inflation.

I actually remember watching Dole awkwardly calling out his &quot;homepage&quot; during a debate. For some reason I remember it as www.bobdole.com, which would have been an improvement over the real, mumbled thing:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BrDktE8D_gw&amp;t=88m48s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BrDktE8D_gw&amp;t=88m48s</a><p>...as for that election, the RNC basically just gave it to Clinton, allowing Kodos a chance to pretend to run for president as a reward for his decades of service in running for other elections. As it turns out, they should have gotten a relatively young Donald Trump to run.<p>Dole went on to be a prominent supporter of penis pills.

A relic from the days when people thought that cheesy animated gifs that played continuously constituted good design.
