Zat'z mui.  Stratocaster is the type of guitar I play.

Right now I'm a Perot backer, not necessarily because I like him, but
because I think it's important that we smash the two party system into
tiny little bits.  Perot will do THIS, for sure.  As a person... I dunno.
I wish he had a better civil rights record.

I really don't care to debate with people who... for some reason or
another, pick the wrong side of the argument... and then refuse to
accept that this side has many flaws.  Right now, any vote for the
Status Quo is a vote AGAINST America.  More on this later.

>  I'm an agry voter to be sure.

Good start.  That's how I got started in politics.  It began as an 
incoherant white rage.  Then I learned to focus it... to aim it at
the enemy.  (Pardon.  I just saw The Highlander for the 2413th time
tonight...)  In any case, it is good that you are an angry voter.
In your last message, which I tore to shreds, you sounded like a 
sheep.

You sound like you saw the same political cartoon that I did.  In case
someone reading this net missed it, I'll describe:

Bush, Clinton, Brown are represented as dueling dragons.  Bush is spitting
fire, Brown is blowing smoke, and Clinton has a forked tongue.  As they
fight, a city is being smashed to itty bitty bits beneath their claws.
That's in the background.  In the foreground is a Ross, holding a shield
marked "H. Ross Quixote"..... he's dressed up like a jouster except for
a big cowboy hat.  He's saying "This'll be easier than you think."

[blah blah blah]

*sigh*

This depends on what you think are bad.  1) He's pro choice.  2) He favors
gun control.  3) He wants to continue fighting the War on Some Drugs
(my biggest beef with him).  4)  He seems to put the family unit on such
a high pedestal that he would make hire/fire decisions based on the
employees's (sp) marital status, or who they live with.  E.G. I understand
that he would not allow 2 of his employees to live together unless they
were married.  Really evil shit, you know?

>   How many more bad things are likely to come out?

I understand that he had a close relationship with Nancy Reagan.
(Retch.  Puke.  Vomit.)

>   Can he win once he gets through the media scrambler?

Dude.  He says he'll spend at least $100,000,000 to get elected.  So far,
he hasn't spent more than a few thousand and he's going to be on the 
ballot in at least 49 states.  All he has to do is convince minorities
that he isn't racist, convince Bisexuals and Gays that he respects their
right to exist, and persuade those fighting AGAINST the War on Some
Drugs that he would at least participate in a good debate.

[blah blah blah]

>  ...  He, at least, gives lip-service to fixing
>the "bads" in our government. ...

More lip-service stuff.  Dude.  You have to realize that lip-service
means "to shit from the mouth".  :-)

[blah blah blah]

>Patrick Sugent                       

Yeah.  Mr. "I'll vote for bush because Quayle told me he at least
KNOWS what the problems facing the country are... "
