post and give my hero Dan Quayle some support.  This genious...and political
god if you will, gets nothing but criticism from the mass public and the 
liberally controlled media.  Im here to say that I feel sorry for Dan Quayle,
and dont think that he deserves half of the criticism that he gets.  The man
is the greatest political mind in the White House, what he spells wrong in no
way reflects his political stature.  Until these sharks who harp on spelling
can correctly spell every word in the dictionary I wish to hear no more.  And
god forbid the guy has some oppinions on family values.  SHOOT ME  I too believe
that a two parent household is necessary for a childs welfare.  Lets look at 
Dan's record....He has never lost an election before this one.  This reflects  
my firm belief that he did nothing but help the Bush campaign, And the Bush 
campaign did nothing but hurt him.  I hope we see Dan back in full force in 96'
we need some conservatism guiding this country.

I think that a senator who becomes veep could probably easily return to the
Senate without losing face, since the Senate is regarded as the 'world's
greatest deliberative body.'  However, I just can't see Danoe getting elected
to anything ever again, not because he was veep, but because he's Dan.  After
the revelations of just how stupid Our Boy is, he'll probably do better on the
right-wing lecture circuit.

Not quite a Republican sweep, second place was awarded to both the

Uh, Perry, I don't think that the "vast majority of the population" 
would agree with you.  

However, we probably agree on one point.  I, too, hope that Dan Quayl
is back in 1996.  That would be a dreame come tru.

You are correct of course; my memory was at fault. But my error may

considered the conservative's Conservative, just the application
of the term "conservative" was tantamount to being called an
"extremist" for a great many people.

It is true that the Bush campaign exposed him to national scrutiny, and
