Where is Ross Perot when we need him?

Re: Where is Ross Perot when we need him?

Given the level of political sophistication that you display in your post, I'd suggest that you vote for Ross Perot.

We need a PhD to post on message boards now? I guess that will leave many of you lefties out...

Vote for anyone but Bush ;-)

Perot had some good ideas, and he certainly added some color to the election cycle. I still recall the SNL parody--was it Dana Carvey? Very funny.

And he was right, to an extent, on NAFTA. What an unmitigated disaster for US workers. But those of us with jobs can buy cheap electronic crap at WalMart. Such a deal...

Cheap electronic crap mostly comes from Malaysia and China these days. Those Mexican jobs are being exported too.

I've always had a hard time understanding the type of mentality that can be hateful of nations simply because their poverty makes their wages more competitive.

<not talkin' 'bout you roger, I saw that it might look that way>

Vete a la chingada Cabron! (I suggest you vote for Vincente Fox).

Oh so I see...JOEFROMCHICAGO...says that I have no political sophistication. Does that mean my vote doesn't count?
Does one have to have political intellect to conform to your standards?
How self righteous of you....just like a politician
Thanks for your advice...I'll take it with a grain of salt.

Nafta has been a failure, for everybody but the USA.
The jobs leaving the US are going everywhere but mexico. American companies have put less money into the mexican economy annually than immegrant mexican workers have sent home. The situation in mexico is worse 10 years after NAFTA than is was before. Mexican and canadian farmers cannot compete against american subsidies and the contiuous US led court battles against them.
I'd check your facts before you throw around filthy bigotted statements.

I'd opt for a write-in vote for Pat Buchanan if I were you.

lost,

You are calling joe "Self-Righteous"!?!?! Listen to yourself.

When you label Mexico a "filthy vacuum bag", you display the kind of narrow-minded ignorance that Americans are (often unfairly) accused of.

There are Mexicans that I know who are much more deserving of jobs than you. They work harder. They know math better. They don't have an arrogant racist chip on their shoulders.

And they work hard to earn the jobs that they can get, rather than whine because they don't get the job they somehow feel is due them because of where they were born.

As an American I am ashamed of people with attitudes like yours.

I resent the reference to Mexico, lost. It prevents me from seriously considering your position and wanting to join in the thread.

Regrettably, no. Your vote counts just as much as mine. That's why I encourage you to throw away your vote on Perot or some comparably unelectable midget billionaire.


Yes.
