Is the lesser of two evils not evil?

I am not sure what back-room machinations were used to get Bush Sr. the V.P. spot, but am certain that conservatives (real ones) hated GHWB and stopped his drive for the GOP nomination in 1980. Therein lies the reason Clinton was able to win the presidency with 43% of the vote, which is probably close to the percentage received by McGovern, Mondale and other Dem stalwarts.

I believe that we, the ones who worked to get Perot elected, are the ones who can righteously complain about the demons Clinton. Anyone who thinks Perot dropped out because of personal choice, that is, without being coerced, has no conception of what kind of person he was and never talked to the scores of people who worked for the man in the private sector and were ecstatic that a man of his character would choose to run for president.

Jr. has done far too many distasteful things and left far too many distasteful people in power, to ever earn my respect. It is not the "sins of the father", W has enough of his own sins. I will wholeheartedly agree that he is better than Algore, but that still does not make him palatable. Though I will vote for him over any or all of the 9 dwarves (but holding my nose).

Is any politician perfect? Are you searching for your "perfect political world". Ain't gonna happen. It just amazes me when you guys get all in a tizzy about Bush and then basically say you don't care if a demo gets in, when you don't agree with the demo 95% of the time.

Well anyway as I said to Hank, send me a post card when you reach your destination called "perfect political world". Have a feeling I will be waiting by the mailbox a long time.
