Conservatives are stubborn and stupid when it comes to winning. There will be three conservatives to split the vote, and of course, the Leftist wins. No doubt some of these geniuses still think they were smart to vote for Ross Perot, thus giving Bill Clinton the presidency for eight years. We are still reaping the rewards of that debacle as Hillary muddles her way through as Sec. of State.

That Clintonian plurality lead to the Republican Revolution and ultimately got Clinton impeached. And frankly, who would rather have seen in 2008 -- Hillary or Obama? Today the mantra is "Anybody but Obama." Back then, it was "Anybody but Hillary." Well, we got our wish. WATCH OUT WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

I was ticked as hell at the "stupid" folks who voted for Perot. In retrospect, I see that if HW Bush had been re-elected, the GOP would probably be even farther to the left than it is now and the Republican Revolution would never have happened; if Clinton had won with majorities either time (thanks to third party votes, all he got was a plurality both times), it's probable that the Republican Revolution, and certainly his impeachment, would never have happened.

The "win at all cost" Republicans -- I used to be one of them -- are the only ones being stubborn and stupid now.
