One of the things I liked about Perot is that he never made any expicit
promises so he wouldn't have to break any later on.

Charged, tried, and convicted, all in one paragraph.  And without due process.
I dislike Bush for many reasons, but not for any that aren't substantiated...

Reagan was sworn in on Jan. 20th, not the 28th.  But you are using circumstanatial
evidence to support your claim.  I will believe it if it is proven.  Otherwise,
I give the man the benefit of the doubt.  I can use circumstantial evidence, just
as compelling as yours, to prove you wrong.  Why weren't the hostages released
on Nov. 8, the day after Reagan won the election?  There is NO reason that I
can see if Reagan/Bush manipulated the election as you claim.  Why would Reagan
want the hostages to be held for 3 months longer than necessary?  CLue me in :)

Carter threatened to bomb Tehran?  He also offered arms for hostages, as well
as release of frozen Iranian assets.  He did it on Prime Time TV from the
oval office...

Change it back to '92 already.  We need a party to replace the democratic
party failure.
