The Libertarians won't crack double digits.
In the end it will hinge on turnout of the GOP voters, who cannot sit home and let the Democrat get elected.
Amen!
LOL!
Well, if he was one of Sarvis’ pals, he might have thought it was juth marvelouth.
whoa - didn’t know that
Clinton didn’t start the decline. The decline started long ago. LBJ cemented the republic’s failure with Great Society socialism.
Straight talk...love it!!
The franchise needs to be limited to tax payers and those who don’t receive welfare, food stamps, etc.
Just like felons lose their voting rights
Plenty of smart taxpaying women not on welfare
Ross Perot on Abortion;
Pro-choice activist
Perot has not only taken a pro-abortion stand, his is the first presidential candidate ever to have conceived close personal and institutional ties to the abortion industry. The Perots are activists with an interest in the most radical fringe of the pro-abortion movement.
He funded an entire gynecological wing of the Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, which has provided first and second trimester abortions as well as amniocentesis research. He has also been a vocal supporter of Planned Parenthood.

Here are some excerpts from a 1992 Christian Science article, enough for you to start searching if you want more info on the gun issues.
“”The Constitution protects citizens against warrant less searches and confiscation of firearms; it requires “equal protection of the laws,” regardless of race. During a crime wave in Dallas in 1986, Perot set up round-table meetings between police officers and people in the news media. In those meetings, according to Todd Mason, former Dallas bureau chief for Business Week, in his 1990 biography of the businessman: “Perot espoused cordoning off minority neighborhoods and searching door-to-door for weapons and narcotics.”
On NBC’s “Today Show” on Oct. 25, 1989, Perot called for suspending constitutional rights and declaring martial law to combat the drug trade: “You can declare civil war and the drug dealer is the enemy. There ain’t no bail ... [drug dealers] go to POW camp. You can start dealing with the problem in straight military terms.”
* On people who dare to defend themselves and their families with firearms. (Perot told the National Press Club that he favors gun controls “much tighter” than the Brady Bill.)
"I’ve been emailing Sarvis’ campaign, urging him to do the right thing and drop out. All I get in response are requests to volunteer and to donate."
Worth a try, but I doubt Sarvis really cares. Only somebody who truly believes in the free-market and liberty would drop out if he felt he had no chance of winning, and that he was hurting an opponent who does believe in those things. Sarvis, OTOH, is a fake and doesn't deeply support either of those ideas.
In the end, if Sarvis somehow does better than expected, I think it's going to damage the Libertarian party more than help them, ironically: the typical low-information voter is going to see the Libertarian party as the party that supports taking away people's privacy rights (and supports tax hikes) by installing black boxes in cars and taxing drivers by the mile. I doubt doing a few points better in a state race is really something worth selling your soul for...
