I Confess, I Actually Voted For Ross Perot!

[KittyWampus]

There, got that off my chest and it feels good!

By the way, I live in New York which is a comfortably Democratic State.

1. Whoa!

I know someone who voted for Perot in 92 but he voted for Bush the last two times.

3. Let Me Clarify... This Was As Opposed To Clinton.

And my rationale was, "Why the hell not?"

[GRLMGC]

haha

I was like 7 and I kind of felt sorry for him. I didn't know why, I just did.

5. His Ears Stick Out & He Has A Funny Voice

4. Well, he was right about that 'great whoooshing sound'.

[Maat]

6. Don't feel bad. I did too, right before I became a social worker.

That's when I saw the light (in 1993).

Now, can this be our horrible little secret?

Proud to say that I've voted for the Democrats ever since, and am the biggest progressive around, now.

7. I Was Progressive Back Then & Wanted Harkin Not Clinton To Get The

nomination.

8. I liked Perot back then, he had a message,,,,,,but I vote for "Big Dawg".

why, because he didn't have a snow balls chance.

9. He helped keep Bush 41 on the defensive in '92,

attacking him on the bad economy while Clinton attacked him on the bad economy and everything else.

And he did take votes away from Bush 41. Not enough to sway the election - I believe Clinton would have won anyway - but enough to give Bush 41 the smallest percentage of the vote for an incumbent since Taft.

I never got the sense that Perot hated Clinton - perhaps he wasn't overly fond of the Big Dog, but I don't think he hated him. However, it's well known that he hated Bush 41.

Plus, his bizarre manner and befuddled running mate made the '92 debates among the most entertaining in the history of televised debates.

So, I can't begrudge you your vote. :hi:

13. He did make things interesting ... didn't he?

[plcdude]

10. I confess I actually

voted for McGovern me and 7 other people.

[elperromagico]

11. The question on everybody's lips:

How does it feel to be right? :D

[Bouncy Ball]

12. I did, too! In 1992!!!

That rhymed!
