I voted for Perot because none of the others appealed to my standards.

The Problem with voters. They are too easily hearded like sheep. If they can be convinced their first choice may lose, they are always willing to settle for 2nd or 3rd choice. And for that compromise we get the crappy leadership. It isn’t because others vote based on principal. It’s the voters who give up principal who elect the crappy leaders.

I see weakness in people who are afraid to take a stand against the same leadership they dispise and keep re-electing more of the same. Thats the biggest problem in America. people are afraid to make a stand. Settle for less. Get less. You get what you vote for.

"I voted for Perot because none of the others appealed to my standards."

I voted for Perot along with 19% of Americans.

Wasn't the result of that vote a fun ride?

Go ahead, take your ball and go home.

It is not easy maintaining a decent Republic when the best players refuse to participate in the process.

I voted for Perot too. Let me tell you I have been regreting it ever since. We wouldn’t be having to listen to speeches by Hilary if I hadn’t voted for Perot.
