Perot’s Third Party gave us Bill Clinton

[GoldStandard]

Bush Sr. gave us Clinton. People voted for Perot in part because he was such a crappy candidate.

Why can't the people who blame Perot for Clinton or Nader for Bush take a long, hard look at the candidate themselves instead of desperately looking for a scapegoat?

“Perot’s Third Party gave us Bill Clinton”

No, G H W Bush’s caving to the spenders by violating his “Read my lips, no new taxes” pledge gave us Clinton. Perot simply capitalized on Bush’s betrayal of Reaganism to get him dumped.

The Republican party is going the way of the Whigs, and conservatives will have to look elsewhere for succor.
