I don’t know who the owner of this board is voting for or not voting for. All I know is I pray that God will let me live to see the day that Barack Obama OUT of the Oval Office. I voted for Ross Perot in ‘92 and I helped give the U.S. and the world the Clintons for life. And Obama makes the Clintons look like Saints. Worst political mistake I ever made. I, and millions of others, bit our noses off to spite our faces. I learned that the place where you find people who want to “send a message” is in the “Lost Column”. I’ll never make that mistake again.

That's one way to look at it. On the other hand, HW was full tilt moderate, "Read my lips" was just talk, and I didn't want to vote for him either, but I did. If he'd have won, especially if he'd won with a regular ol' majority vote, it would have been busienss as usual and the Republican party would have stayed squarely left course. Clinton got in and the Republican Revolution happened two years later. Then the next time Clinton got in, he was impeached.

Obama is vulnerable, much more vulnerable than Clinton in the popularity department. He's a skinny fraud.

Your vote for Perot was the right thing to do with regard to taking a righteous chance, and it had positive consequences for conservatism. But I was madder than hell at you at the time.

Ditto my FRiend. In 92 I was too busy with a 24/7 Career and I got hooked on the Perot “outsider” Kool Aid. It is a mistake I will forget.

Living in CA means my Perot Vote didn't change the course of History, but that really doesn't matter. It was personal failure and I live with it every day.

Since I am still living in CA, I could join the FR Anybody but Romney Brigade without fear that my non support would help give us Obama the Commie for another four years.

That is the easy way out and I am not going to give one millimeter to Obama. Newt was my guy and he didn't make it. Now he supports Romney over Obama, just as one of my favorite people Mark Levin does.

As Rumsfeld famously said and was attacked for,
“you go to war with the Military you have”. Well, we are there when only one of the Major Party Candidates will be elected.

This Virgil Goode stuff and the other guy whose name escapes me can only help the Obama camp this time around. None of their supporters would have ever Voted Democrat, so now they will be Voting Democrat by Proxy using the argument that a non Vote does not improve Obama’s chances. Yeah, and I have a bridge to sell you.
