There is a pattern to American politics that has prevailed, almost unblemished, since the Second World War: One party controls the Presidency for eight years, then the other party does. It was the Democrats’ turn in 1992 and 1996, the Republicans’ turn in 2000 and 2004, and—well, you see what that means for ’08.B.S. it was Nixon for 8 and would have been another Republican in 1976 if it weren't for Watergate.
In 1980 and 1984 it was Reagan, and 1988 it was Bush Sr. It would have been Bush Sr in 1992 if it weren't for Ross Perot.
This guy is an idiot wih no sense of history.

Why don't you tack "if it hadn't been for Iraq" on there as well? Because his history is apparently quite solid. You seem to think that those pesky historical events are getting in the way, but that's kinda how history works.

"It would have been Bush Sr in 1992 if it weren't for Ross Perot." Actually it would have been Bush Sr in 1992 if he hadn't played along with the Democrats and raised taxes. The GOP base was incensed. Perot didn't help matters, but Bush Sr did it to himself.

Not Ross Perot really... It was GHWB.
The "Read My Lips" tax increase and his executive order banning "non-sporting firearms" from import earning him a NRA No Endorsement was what got Perot 20% of the vote.
Rudy is about to do the same thing losing the second amendment and right to life votes.
