Reply #36: For me it was kind of a protest vote..(not liking either of the others)

and as a business person, I did like the fact that the guy knew money.. and the "giant sucking sound" of NAFTA sold me .. I knew even then that setting up US companies across the border would not help US all that much..

Truthfully, I did not pay all that much attention to politics until the '00 debacle.. I voted and I watched the debates, but after the elections, I just said.. "Okay..that's that"..and got on with my life..

I tend to be cynical and don't trust politicians to start with, since I know that they have to please many masters, and you cannot be all things to all people, so somebody's always gonna get the stale heel at the bottom of the bread sack..and I do know who usually gets that..if they get anything....but we DO have to have someone sitting behind that desk, so I always tried to vote for the one who seemed the least political..the least cloying..the least pandering.


the really odd thing is this.. my oldest son actually works for one of his companies, and is treated magnificently..whodathunkit:)
