Nice post.

Let me sum it up this way.

I was a Perot supporter against Bush1. Ross Perot had a history of being a great friend to the military, and I was angry with Bush1 over "no new taxes" and cutbacks in the military that resulted in less flying hours for pilots in training.

Perot supporters are responsible for Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton is responsible for 911.

I have major guilt that I helped elect Bill Clinton.

I will never, EVER again work against the GOP if it means that another stinkin Democrat might run this country.

I hope that is sufficient explanation for my philosophy.

I wish I'd been as smart as you at your dumbest! I voted FOR Clinton. Some conservatives may think the country will benefit from a "house divided" in thge sense that if no one party dominates, we'll have gridlock and threfore government will cease to grow. Even if that was true, it severely handicaps the United States in the most important issue of our time--- the WOT. But it's not true in any event, and never has been.

I have major guilt that I helped elect Bill Clinton.

If you voted for the person you thought best represented your position then you have nothing to feel guilty about. If you feel your vision was clouded then it is a different story.

I will never, EVER again work against the GOP if it means that another stinkin Democrat might run this country.

Please keep in mind that alot of our older generation cast their votes based on what they think the Democrats stand for. I mean to say, that, what the democrats used to stand for is not anything close to what they push as an agenda today and the older folks really do not understand what it is they are actually voting for. If they knew what today's Democrats stood for I highly doubt they cast their votes as they do.

Decades ago, many folks made the same swearing you just did towards the Democrats for their dedication to the working man and against those dirty rich republicans that only seek to steal the profits from labor. Just please be careful that you do not fall into the same trap that they did because that trap almost elected John Kerry.

DITTO.

Though voting in Taipei, I knew which way my State (Wash) was going to go at the time anyway. That is, I knew my vote would not make any difference because of the polls showing such a wide margin.

But I had no knowledge of Perot's meeting with Billdo Klintoon and his hostility toward Bush. I just felt he was strong on the military and NOT PART OF THE DC TRAITOROUS CLIQUE. I felt Bush Sr was less than patriotic and deserved at least a good slap on the hand.

But the resulting placement of Clinton in power shredded all the above considerations.

NEVER AGAIN.

Perot supporters are responsible for Bill Clinton.

I agree with much of what you have said this morning (if not the manner in which you've said it) but quite frankly, H.W. Buch was responsible for Perot supporters BEING Perot supporters
