When all is said and done, bad campaigning, media complicity in the lies of the Clintons, the ignorance of the American people, the REAL fault lies with those who knew Perot couldn't win, who knew Clinton was debauched, and voted in anger AGAINST GHW Bush to make their political point.

How else will voters make their points?

Angry voters will vote elsewhere. This isn't going to change.

Voters get angry when they feel politicians are disloyal to their own promises, or to shared values. Appeals to loyalty won't move them when they believe that their trust has already been broken by a politician.

This is fundamental, real-world politics. You don't have to like it, but to ignore it is to ignore gravity.

Perhaps voters 'making their point' is not the highest goal, Saber.

Perhaps the highest goal is what is best for America.

The 'real world politic' is filled with a whole lot of things that are wrong. But that doesn't mean I have to bow to the pressure, and stop speaking for what is right.

It is my firm belief that it was NOT right for Christians to vote for Perot, knowing that Clinton was debauched, and knowingly risk what actually happened.......the election of the worst man to ever become President.

I will always believe that......and history backs me up.
