[Conservative Tsunami]

Ever since Ross Perot's 1992 candidacy for the Presidency, I have been amazed that so many people (even ones I respect for their genuine intellect) buy into the idea of a "radical center"-- the idea that pragmatism divorced from ideology could somehow bring about change.

Ummm, Perot was the "conservative" in that race. GW was the Statist, and Klintoon was the Commie.

Sorry, Perot was no conservative. Remember-- he specifically rejected the label.

(But I do agree that Bush the Elder was no conservative either.)
