Okay, you changed my mind.

I’m voting for Scott.

I must have missed the part where Perot actually got elected, can you link me to his record?

I try to forget the Clinton years, along with the Carter years and the Obama years.

Do you think that is why so many folks think I have Alzheimer’s Disease?

I didn’t ask if you were one of Florida’s many seasoned citizens, just if you had Perot’s record as an elected official.

For the record I voted for him twice and I am not ashamed to admit it, every man should admit to being wrong twice in his lifetime.

Don’t mean to be any trouble, but Jacquerie seems to be looking at non-favored candidates in Florida. Perhaps he would be interested in your guy.

While we are confessing to errors, I voted for Nixon twice (in general elections), similarly I voted for Dole in 96 and Marrou (I think), in 1992. I thought I mentioned I have forgotten the Clinton years, so don’t remember if Perot ever got in. I take it that he didn’t.

I am voting for Scott too and here’s why, not every company accused of wrong doing is guilty, some instead of going through years of costly legal wrangling just pay the fines so that they can continue to operate.

BP comes immediately to mind and they didn’t even wait for charges to be brought against them.

But was it the right move?

It saved the jobs of thousands of nurses and surgeons, it kept hospitals open, it provided health insurance to millions and it was a tough decision to make,

McCollum on the other hand has never had to make that decision he has always been the one to force that decision on others, be fined or go bankrupt defending against the legal apparatus of our government.

No, had I voted for slick willy I would have voted for slick willy, each time I voted for Perot I voted against either party knowing Perot could not possibly win, it was a matter of voting against what I did not want knowing I had no choice in the what I was going to get.

Scott made the same mistake as Bill Gates.

The way to avoid the Clinton Justice Dept was to donate big $.

At the table or on the menu.

so let me see if I got this right...

If Scott had bribed McCollum none of that would have ever happened????

No.

Big donors to the Clinton machine were rewarded.

You’d prefer that he stay true to his first position?

Or maybe, just maybe listening to the polls is a way to listen to his constituents?

Giving him crap because he decided to do the right thing is so....so...so REPUBLICAN of you.

Clinton governed by poll watching too. It suits those without core beliefs.

So you would prefer than McCollum did nothing and held true to his original position?

That makes a lot of sense. Not.

Not a thing wrong with an elected representative listening to the voice of the electorate.
