Those of us who watched the Ross Perot folly and saw its horrible impact understood that there was no third party alternative possible until the Democrat Party was destroyed.
That has not happened.
... of Clinton elected on a 43% plurality with 57% of the popular vote rejecting him, where his lack of popular mandate was so concrete that he got his ass creamed in the mid-terms with the Republican Revolution, a revolution that would likely never have happened if he'd been elected with a majority or if HWB had been re-elected?
Is that the horrible impact you're talking about?
Incidentally, I was as angry with Perot voters at the time as you are now. In 36 years of voting in every election, I have NEVER declined a Repblican on any ballot, ever, even including Schwarzenegger; 2012 will be the first time if it's O v R. Some of us move on and learn from our mistakes. How about you?
