	This is an interesting point of view.  How in God's name can one
honestly not consider H. Ross Perot a member of the establishment?  Ross Perot
is not in any way a political "outsider" or a man who going to
clean-out-the-barn in Washington.  Any person who believes that Mr. Perot's
campaign was fueled solely by the will of the masses is a moron.  The only
reason Ross Perot is toying with the idea of the presidency is because his ego
dictates it and because he has a personal vendetta against President Bush

	This is curious logic as well.  Using the terms "realistic choice" and
"Perot" in the same sentence is somewhat oxymoronic.  Perot's view of the world
is about as realistic as Dr. Suess's storyland.  Granted, Perot's economic
plan is quite ambitious; however, it is highly naive and implausible.  Who can
honestly purport that the bunch of jokers we have on Capitol Hill will support
Perot's plan?

	The above reference to Slick Willy's plan as being "good" is baffling. 
What is good about it?  The increase in taxation?  The punishment of business
and entrepeneurship?  The call for "Big Government" and intrusion into the lives of
individuals?  Clinton's health care plan alone would decimate most small
business owners.

	I am not one of Bush's zealots, but Clinton is a joker and
Perot is a baby.  There is a saying that goes something like, "Fool me once,
shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."  This epigram is quite fitting when
considering the Perot campaign.  Ross Perot doublecrossed his lackeys once
already.  They would be wise to see this man for what he really is: a bored
billionaire who gets a charge out of pulling peoples' strings and hoodwinking
them.  All those who still consider Perot's rhetoric as being honest and well
intentioned deserve the broken dreams that he will give them.  People who
blindly support Perot in an attempt to spite the status quo in Washington lost
sheep who will soak up any promise of grandeur like a mindless sponge.  Ross
Perot is not a product of the people; he is a master of puppets.
