Write your reply.

assistant: Problem is, they _are_ "out of work military".  We began
reducing the armed forces before Clinton got into office,
and that was understandable -- we no longer needed as
large a military as we had at the time.  But Clinton
(with the cooperation of both major parties in Congress)
has gutted the services to the point that we no longer
have enough people in uniform to ensure our nation's
security on more than one front.  In fact, I'm not certain
we could field another force equal to the one that fought
Desert Storm!
But back to your point: yes, we need to beef up security
along our southern border.  This job belongs to the Border
Patrol, Customs and the Coast Guard, and I'm certain all
three services could find plenty of work for ex-military
personnel -- but I would imagine they are suffering from
the same budget cuts as the Pentagon, and won't be able
to add a lot of people until a more conservative President
takes office.

Speaking of Gore...I was just reading something concerning Ross
Peerot making noises about backing Gore in 2000--that is, until the
Monica thing came out. At first I thought it was almost too weird,
even for him, and must be a joke, but when I got to thinking about
who Gore would probably be running against--George Bush Jr...and then
it started to make sense. That wacko hates the Bush's so much I can
see him backing Gore just for spite. It that nut didn't have all that
money I think someone would have had him committed already. He's way
beyond "excentric" in my book.
Yep, and isn't that just "precious"? They wouldn't recognize loyalty
if it bit them on the behinds.
... Ross Perot is temperamental:  50% temper, 50% mental.

Evidently the Southern Republican Conference likes Bush - he came in

Personally, I don't think much of Bush - too much old establishment
there, just like with his dad.
If I recall the rankings in that straw poll correctly, it was Bush, then
Forbes, then Quayle.  Newt was down below Ashcroft and Alexander.
Forbes at least stands strongly opposed to the RNC's refusal to deny
support to pro-PBA candidates - the other front-runners don't that I've
heard of.
