Can you say "Ross Perot"???

I have another object lesson. I have a nephew who is a little slow. He is a hard worker but has trouble keeping a job. He was working for a fast-food restaurant. He needed more money so he asked for more hours. When he wasn't scheduled to work more than he was. He quit. He didn't understand that he should have found another job which would allow him more hours rather than quit the job he had. Now he had no income at all. Get the point???

I guess the point you're making is about your nephew's intelligence, so I'll refrain from commenting. Your broader point seem to be that you cannot identify a reason to vote republican other than to say they're not democrats. That is a fine reason that many will buy, however, for the loooooooong-term best interests of the country, that reason is insufficient.

As for Ross Perot, wasn't he the cause of the republicans taking control of the house in '94? At the time, we all thought that was a good thing. An analysis of '92 & '94 would indicate that by '92 the pubbies had lost their conservative way leading to a loss of power. By '94, there was leadership in place that mouthed conservative talk and was swept into power. That they failed to deliver over the following 12 years is shame on them. Thus it is time for a replay of the '92 lesson and kick them out in the hope that leaders will emerge that tilt the pubbies back to a small government philosophy.
