That is what sunk Bush Sr. The economy

If by that you mean the steady drumbeat of lies coming out of the major media (at the time, the only media) regarding a tanking economy when it was in fact growing, you'd be absolutely right.

The economy didn't sink Bush Sr. Slick Willie, his submissive media whores, and H. Ross Perot's psychotic followers sunk Bush Sr.

Sorry, it wasn't the media - it was Bush 1. He hadn't a clue. I very distinctly remember when he lost my vote, it was in one of the debates, and between repeatly looking at his watch, he said "Recession? What recession?"

Duh!!

Right then, millions of votes went to Perot, and Xlinton 'won'.

Bush Senior sunk himself. His "read my lips" fiasco started it, his executive order ban on firearms finished him. Perot was no more than icing on the cake already baked.
