1. errr won't he take votes from us?
one of the things that may give the Democrats the victory in 2004 is the R wingers who hate Bush, putting Perot in is just gonna give him those votes, and may end up making the Democratic candidate come under. Just my thought - I could be wrong.

7. I think you're right. Perot appeals to the angry voters,
Edited on Thu Oct-16-03 08:52 PM by BillyBunter
and this time, the angry voters were likely to go with us. If Perot runs, he gives them an option I would rather they didn't have.

2. Another Repuke
Perot is just a Repuke in populist clothing.
We don't need him to take focus from getting Chimpy & his cronies like Tom 'The Bugman' Delay out of power.

5. No, no. For all the above reasons,
and those guys should pull that poll if they mistakenly thought it would help the Democrats.

9. i couldn't do it
i went to the site with the thought that he will divide the republicans as much as the bull moose party did in 1912 or like he himself did in 1992 or like in the peasant revolt of 1381 or like in 1066 :-) .. oh, perhaps not that far back... ;-)

Just my skin started crawling as i looked in his eyes... and i had to get off that website before i blew chunks. Sure, it was better than shrub by about 2 degrees... but vibe-wise... not much more... i can't even fake supporting that... sorry.

Either we win in a fair fight, or we don't deserve to win. I know it sounds soppy, but c'est la vie.

10. thankyou
you beat me to it, I was about to say the same thing, in addition to my other point. The only way the left is gonna be superior is if it stays morally superior. We can't drag ourselves down to freeper level.

Thankyou, sweetheart. It's people like you who remind me that the ledt is the right side to be on :)

11. Ross Perot is a nut
and there is no way I would support him to run for anything even if it did mean splitting the repub vote--which it wouldn't.
