I'm starting to see a proliferation of the following signs:
	A Vote for Perot is a Vote for Bush

I see.  It seems that the argument offered by Clinton supporters is not that
their candidate is any good, but rather that he is not Bush.  There's no doubt
that Bush should not be re-elected.  But what is Clinton offering as an
alternate?  His vice president is Mr. Tipper (`sure, I like rock-and-roll
music, I even bought some Pat Boone albums') Gore.  He's the governor of a
state whose constitution forbids non-believers in `god' from public office,
from serving on a jury, and from testifying in court (even in one's own
defense), and has refused to answer repeated requests to state his position on
that.  He's demonstrated evasiveness and lack of frankness.

The only real winner of this election will be the real reactionaries, the Pat
Robertson and Pat Buchanan camp.  The Pats have been trying to torpedo the
amiable wishy-washy Nelson Rockefeller branch of Republicanism (Bush is the
latest manefestation) for decades.  They don't care how bad a Clinton
adminstration would be; in fact, the worse, the better from their perspective.

Perot at least offers another choice.  He's the only one who has a credible
agenda for what needs to be done.  If you think President Perot is a scarey
thought, consider President Robertson sometime...
