I don’t agree Perot could have won. And, again, if he could have, he could have won in the GOP primary. It’s the same boxing match, if he couldn’t beat Bush there, he couldn’t beat him in the big arena.

I’ll give you another example from the past of how things change. Lloyd Bentsen (D) beat George Bush (R) in Texas on the slogan “He’s (Bush) is too liberal for Texas.”

I know many places in Texas where a generation ago it was all democrats in local office, Repubs were too liberal. Today, after intelligent dedicated work, those places are very conservative and GOP. They’ve built a strong conservative GOP.

Now, your third party comes along and says: “Join our new party, leave the GOP!”

They say: “Why should we?”

“Because, the GOP is too liberal.”

“No we ain’t.”

“Well, they are in other places.”

“Then tell them to get their sh*t together and do what we did.”

Why should they jump to a new party? Why shouldn’t you do what they did instead?

I think you are wrong on all of your points, and it appears you want to repeat them ad nauseum. Your anecdote about Texas seems contrived and counterintuitive. I think Texas was one of the states where Perot was most popular, even though GHW Bush represented Houston in Congress. You talk like they are hayseeds who couldn't read the paper and decide to vote for someone other than Mitt.

Make you next post, and then, please assume I have disagreed with it, and then you can make another after that. Assume I disagree with that one, too.
