Klintoon got into office by default. Sorry. If there hadn't been a third option, he'd have never gotten there. And if the Republican dirty tricks division hadn't gotten to Perot, An independant would have been president instead of the eight years of Nero that we had. Having been on the recieving end of the foulness that Pubs can dish out, I believe Perot now. Back then I couldn't because I didn't believe Pubs could be that foul. Now, I've seen it first hand and believe it was probably worse than he let on. So, IMO, if the pubs had shut their yap and played on the up and up, they might have sat through two terms of Perot instead of 8 years of Nero.
Clinton didn't keep the sheep fat and happy, he kept them pretty perpetually po'd and disgusted. My memory ain't that short.
Really? Got any names there.
BTW, nice little tidbit with the "Republican dirty tricks" remark.
JMO, you're a democrat, longing for the days of the MSM not being challenged.
Yeah and I suppose Larry King and CNN really did want, then didn't want and then did want again, Ross Perot as president instead of Bill Clinton.
What a circus act.
LOL!
No, he got in my getting the most votes. Sorry.
If there hadn't been a third option, he'd have never gotten there.
And if the queen had balls, she'd be king. There are at least 3 options EVERY year. If there hadn't been a 3rd option in 00, Gore would have won. So what?

Your memory may not be short, but it's wrong. How about some DATA? Slickster had a higher rating at the end of his term then RR.
