OBAMA’S INALIENABLES

GOV. WALKER: ‘NOT A LOT OF COURAGE’ IN DC TO CUT SPENDING
BILL CLINTON CALLS FOR CORPORATE TAX CUTS
The horny hick has inserted his bulbous schnozz in the news a lot lately. Lets review:
He slithered into office with 43% of the vote thanks to Ross Perot
With majorities in the House and Senate he quickly shoved through the highest tax increases in history
Voters liked that so well,Republicans got a majority in the House for the first time in 40 years in 1994
After vetoing it 3 times,he signed Welfare Reform to get re-elected–then took all the credit for it
Conducted a war from the air in Bosnia because one American death would have shattered his paper-thin support
His “budget surplus” was illusory–we were in the second quarter of a recession until Bush cut taxes
He left office soon after the dotcom bubble burst and things were falling apart
Sold pardons wholesale to fund his library and massage parlor in Little Rock
Tell me again-why is he a liberal icon?

The photo that tops this Grudge Report is magnificent. I don’t think I have ever seen one of fireworks that has such depth of field. Red Skelton and Ray Charles were so uplifting. I needed that today. Thanks!
I enjoyed celebrating today while wearing my Chrissy Original “4th of July” necklace. My husband took a photograph of it, and I had thought I might post it here for all of you to see what beautiful work our talented Chrissy does in the jewelry field, but I never had noticed all the wrinkles in my neck until I saw that photo. How can that be? I see myself everyday, and yet I never noticed! So you will just have to take my word for it because I am not posting that wrinkled old neck on the internet for all the world to see! But you can see Chrissy’s work at: http://www.chrissyoriginals.com

Ross Perot and 1992. Easterbook argues that George H.W. Bush lost because the Texas billionaire “siphoned off conservative votes.” False.
The endurance of this particular myth, regular readers will recognize, is particularly bothersome to me, and I’ve written about it several times. Easterbrook is hardly the only one who’s still pushing it. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone matter-of-factly make this claim in the past few years. Generally, it’s from conservatives who like to pretend that Bill Clinton’s ’92 victory was a fluke, but there are liberals who still fall for it too.
Instead of recounting all of the details of the ’92 race here, I’ll simply refer you to one of my previous posts on the subject. If you want the Cliff’s Notes version it goes like this: (1) Economic anxiety was high, causing Bush’s poll numbers to drop to poisonous levels — by the fall of ’92 he was not an incumbent who, on paper, should have won reelection; (2) Not a single public opinion poll from the middle of July (when Perot dropped out the race) through the end of September (when Perot returned) gave Bush a lead over Clinton — not even in the immediate wake of the August ’92 GOP convention. In fact, Clinton’s average lead in this period was double-digits — and the race was not tightening at the time Perot jumped back in; (3) A comprehensive national exit poll found that Perot voters were divided almost evenly on their second choice and that Clinton — in a two-way race — would still have beaten Bush by 5.8 million votes (his actual margin was 5.3 million in initial ’92 tally). Here’s how the Washington Post summarized the exit poll:
Ross Perot’s presence on the 1992 presidential ballot did not change the outcome of the election, according to an analysis of the second choices of Perot supporters.
The analysis, based on exit polls conducted by Voter Research & Surveys (VRS) for the major news organizations, indicated that in Perot’s absence, only Ohio would have have shifted from the Clinton column to the Bush column. This would still have left Clinton with a healthy 349-to-189 majority in the electoral college.
And even in Ohio, the hypothetical Bush “margin” without Perot in the race was so small that given the normal margin of error in polls, the state still might have stuck with Clinton absent the Texas billionaire.
In most states, the second choices of Perot voters only reinforced the actual outcome. For example, California, New York, Illinois and Oregon went to Clinton by large margins, and Perot voters in those states strongly preferred Clinton to Bush.
Repeat after me: Ross Perot did not “cost” George H.W. Bush the 1992 election. If you see or hear a commentator using this claim as supporting evidence, immediately discount whatever argument that commentator is advancing. The poor economy doomed George H.W. Bush in 1992 — not a short billionaire from Texas.

I think Nader always said it best when he siphoned off a small percentage of the votes one year…..”D’uh, my percentage shouldn’t have made a difference, our Presidents should win by a much larger margin! “
