Perot/Reform wasn't a conservative challenge to the two major political parties. It was a neo-Populist challenge.
Like someone else wrote, do you even read your posts? If you want to see arrogant, do a proof read before you click on "Post."
Furthermore, do not put out that Strawman, "Pat Buchanan." He has nothing to do with the Miers nomination. That's a lame power play on your part, an attempt to shut me down. It might work if I *was* a Buchananite, but I am not.
It's people like you who:
1) Have no clue how to win, but think you do, and;
2) Seem to get in power and high places in the GOP! WTF??? How does that happen? Wish I knew!
Like I said before, go to the back of the bus. We put a conservative on the ballot for the Republicans. You pull the Elephant lever. That's all you're good for. NOT leading.
Uh, you are going to have to learn to put a quote from the post you are referencing in the present post so that, if you are expecting an answer, I can understand the context.
Amen.
"I think you've got it, conservative MUST abandon conservative principle and morph into Bill Clinton new Democrats in order for the GOP to remain in power. Are you looking for your cocoon suit yet? LOL, I guess I'll just have to get used to being a 2 percenter dinosaur."
Same here, amigo. If my elected representatives have to smooch liberals' hineys and pork barrel in order to be elected, they won't be MY representatives at all.
If Ross Perot had been the Republican contender, we would have had a Republican President...You chose the Party...We chose the Republic...We both lost...
I don't apologize for a second...From now on, it's the Republic for me...
He short-circuited a recession that was getting started in Clinton's 1st quarter of his last year...I believe.
By cutting taxes small business, the backbone of this nation, expanded and jobs were created.
Not having the Democrats be able to mention the economy was worth a vote for him in 2004.
He has not broken any promises.
Hearts yes...promises no....MeCain-Feingold be damned.
So I go back to Eishenhower as a boy. George Bush is doing what Ronald Reagan would be doing...and he was the best.
Reagan dropped one down Ghaddafi's chimney and we all see the result in Lybia's outlook today.
President Bush liberated two nations by stamping out Islamofacists and a dangerous man who had used WMD on his own people...who was publicly paying $25K to the families of homicide bombers.
If you think Ross Perot would have been capable...or Al Gore would have the balls...or John Kerry the brains...well you're nuts! ;^)
Bottom line, he hasn't screwed up on any of his judges yet so who are we to tell him differently on the nominee?
Sorry for rambling.
