Actually, I think the mistake is that people thought that voting for Perot would make a difference. Actually it didin't, but it made them feel good.
That vote for Perot, brought the Clinton tax increase, two liberal Justices on Scotus, the very close implementation of Hillary care, and other liberal boilerplate issues.
But what the hey some are inclined to believe the Carvillian lie, worst economy in 50 years, when the Carter economy was actually the worst in the last 50 years.
But you go ahead get yourself into a tizzy, while ignoring all the facts and machinations of modern American politics.
