Apparently you are locked into the past.

Gun control as an issue is gone. Ended. Finished. It is an issue on which urban Democrats have accepted that they are outvoted by the rest of the country.

Abortion ? A quarter of the electorate is NARAL all the way. Another quarter is Right to Life all the way. In the middle, flux. Stasis. A lot of hypocrisy, too. That is because, as I taught you, people talk right-to-life but when their own kid gets pregnant they want that socioeconomic escape hatch of abortion.

In 1992 Perot didn't get the hard core Right to Life vote. But he was still the frontrunner in early spring. Bush lost because he was reduced to the Right to Life vote. So there is plenty of room for another Perot party. After all, they won in 92 because most of Perot's supporters broke for them after Perot dropped out of the race. When Perot dropped out Clinton moved from third of three to first of two.

Huh? Perot didn't join the race until late Spring 92 and then dropped out, when he said that clinton was gaining momentum, and then Bush came back into the lead, and all of the sudden perot got back in and was on CNN saying "Larry"(this is before FR, Fox News, and the internet blogs, BTW).

But that doesn't really matter, since that is all water under the bridge, and the country has a person who you despise in office, GW Bush.

Dude I think you all in hillary's basement are misinformed and delusional if you all think you can bring back a second coming of perot like candidate, especially with the gift of the invention Al Gore gave us all, the internet.
