Since 1992, Republicans have been smarting their loss by claiming that Ross Perot stole enough votes to elect Bill Clinton.
Even as much as the loyal opposition seeks to demystify the winner's victory, the Perot-elected-Clinton lie has only served to force the GOP to adopt pro-immigrant pro-big-gov narratives.
Perot was more liberal than Slick Willie himself. http://www.ontheissues.org/Ross_Perot.htm He was pro-abortion, pro-homo, and for tax hikes on fossil fuel, the driver of American jobs. Bush I's job approvals in 1992 were as low than Jimmy Carter's in 1980

Of course Bush was 1000x better than Surrender Monkey Dhimmi, but the fact is that perception is reality. If Bush had been case as losing "truly fair and square" in 1992, who the heck woulda nominated the cucks Jeb and George in 1994, for anything? Or 2000, none the less?
The Bush family has depressed conservative turnout for 24 years and I am sick of it. Bush lost in 1992 because real conservatives stayed home in 1992, and have not been voting since. Dubya, Mr. Amnesty, Neocon, etc. barely won in '04. The final result was in the margin of error, were it a poll; his winning was pure luck. He did not emulate Reagan, whose principles and values beat Mondale in 98% of the states in America.
Bushism is the home of compassionate conservatism. No, thanks. That’s just liberalism in drag. And, yes, I voted Perot.
Perot was in cahoots with the Clintons. He was a major participant in the development of Hillarycare, and stood to profit from it. Crony capitalism writ large.
definitely. Bush was as pro open-borders as Gore, maybe more. Enron and Exxon were all for cheap labor.
Didn’t EDS profit big time from contracts with welfare departments across the United States? That was one rumour I heard years ago about him.
What did Bush in was “No new taxes. Okay, new taxes.”
no he wasn’t. If you read Pascoe’s article and the poll’s he cites (which are more authoritative than the Bush friends’ narratives), only Clinton’s numbers went down, while Bush stayed in a narrow range.
Perot personally disliking Bush is a red herring. Perot was the only candidate against NAFTA (Not American Free Traitor Abdication).
May 2016.
I doubt Enron and Exxon craved minimum wagers. Blaming business for open borders is a misdirection.
Poppy Bush is evil.
You got a problem with that?
Bush lost because he sucked.
Boosh and Perot, two worthess turds floating in the same sewage treatment pond! Just wished I’d had the benefit of “the Trump enlightenment” back then. This country has been so poorly served by the GOPe I’m amazed things aren’t worse than they are.
1992 was GHWB’s to win or lose. And he did.
His ‘read my lips’ did permanent damage to his future candidacy.
He didn’t mount much of a campaign. Even the newsies were wondering why? After he lost the election, a newsie asked him why he didn’t really start campaigning until just a couple of weeks before the election. He responded that he was the incumbent and thought he would win because of that. The falling poll numbers just before the election forced him to start campaigning.
Perot wanted a place in Bush,s administration and he was ignored................ so he got even. IT COST HIM MILLIONS BUT HE DIDNT CARE.
Bush uttered the words, “ New World Order.” That sent shivers down my spine. He saved a dictatorial monarchy, Kuwaiti, from a pan Arabist dictator. He also saved the Saudis from Sadaam. The world would have been better off had he left both alone. The Bushs are millstones around our necks.
Sign up date explains the weird topic and mixed up priorities of the bizarre post.
Because the Bushes and Clintons (who go way back) made a deal.
There is a book written by one of Klintons guards that said that he took calls form Perot to Clinton and vice versa. Slick willie split the republicans so lets see what hillerat does to them this time.
