WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT CLINTON: He dodged the draft, he didn't inhale,
  he might have had an affair (all dug up by our public minded "journalists"),
  as well as we know his positions on health care (payroll tax), taxes (Bush
  will be sure to remind you if you don't remember), he believes in
  the right to a legal abortion, he's inexpereinced in foreign policy. 

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT BUSH: He won't raises taxes...again (he promises),
  it's all Congress' fault, he opposes legal abortion, he might actually
  knows what he's doing on foreign policy, domestic policy is esperanto
  to him, he raised taxes and broke his promise (as Clinton will remind you), 
  and he's not the environmental president.
										
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT PEROT: he's not a politician, he's a good businessman 
  he's not a politician, he probably would do a better job with the economy
  than Bush or Clinton, he's not politician, he'd be even more lost on
  social issues than Bush and, most of all, he's not a politician.
						
His campaign is being run on an, "I'm not a politician" campaign. His
campaign (I don't have time to read his book; why doesn't he publicize
some of its important points?) is a lot more vague than Bush's or CLinton's
(and that's saying something). His contribution to the deficit debate
was, "I could balance the budget without breaking a sweat." Sure, all
he would do is fire Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, ....
					
Perot has shown disdain for civil liberties in past writings and action; 
that much I know (and it's certainly a negative in my book).

As far as I'm concerned, he's even more hypocritical than Bush or Clinton.
First he said he'd run if you put him on the ballot in all 50 states
then he dropped out before you got a chance to finish then when you
did it he might come back in. What the hell is this guy doing? 

He criticizes Bush and Clinton for lacking decisive leadership but first
he might be in, the he acts like he's in but he's really not officially
in, then he drops out although he was never officialy in in the first place
and now he might come back. 

In July, the going got tough; the press was just BEGINNING to ask
Perot the tough questions... you know, the same press that hounded
Bush and Clinton since February (well, Bush for longer than that)...
and what did he do, he quit. I don't want a president who is going
to take a vacation when the tough questions need to be andwered and
tough choices need to be made. Bush and Clinton might not be the best
out there but at least they've shown the mental fortitude of not quitting
when the going got tough. 

Perot is playing games with his supporters minds. He made them feel
important in the first place (which impressed me). He got them all
fired up. "He's our man. He really represents us." I may not have agreed
with the one or two posititions he did state but it impressed me that
someone could get so many people interested in  politics. He made them
feel important. Then he quit. Supporters were crushed; they felt
betrayed. Like the savior of the country had just quit on millions of
people. Now, he's coming back? He expects us to support him after letting
us down (us in the generic sense)? 

I don't think so.
