“I hope he runs as a third party candidate. He will only hurt Obama.”

I beg to disagree. My thought is that if he were to run on a third party ticket, he’d be a spoiler for our side just as Perot helped Clinton get elected. Unfortunately, there are quite a few who’d never vote for BHO but would vote for RP. For one thing, his name is linked to the Tea Party in the media and Liberal talking points. (They call him Conservative, plus he ran as Repub last time as well.) So he wouldn’t take any votes away from BHO, but likely would from the Repub candidate. Then, bingo - a second term of BHO because voters who don’t want him will now be split.

Big difference. Perot did not blame America for every problem in the world. He did not demand that under aged girls be allowed to cross state lines in order to get abortions when they are illegal in the state they live. Perot did not want to force the military to accept gays. Perot was not in favor of legalizing drugs.
These are all things the surrender monkey, and most democrats are in favor of. No real Republican could ever vote for someone who thinks killing OBL was bad, but they are things that many liberals who otherwise would vote for the king may like. and instead vote for the anti-American.
