2. The reality of Ross Perot
Part of the reality of Ross Perot is he knows economics. The other part of the reality is that some Republicans backed him in order to get rid of George HW Bush. Clinton offered a better deal. Some believe Bush stepped aside. He mixed too much social liberalism into the agenda for the conservative movement's tastes. Gore was the "golden boy" for 1992. Instead, suddenly, we got the governor from Arkansas.

They did not like kinder, gentler. They wanted meaner, nastier. Which they finally got with George W Bush although once again his agenda has not been theirs. The Republicans who supported Perot are now beginning to realize what they got with Clinton as well as with George W Bush. What you think you saw is not what you got. Reality is harsh. But reality. Clinton served the agenda well. As will Hillary. They probably prefer Guiliani. But Hillary will do. As Bill did.

And with Clinton a new party arrived on the scene. The Republicrat Party. Serving neither party. Serving only the few who believe that oligarchy is the ideal form of government.

The Republicans were fools. Apparently some Democrats were as well.

Unfortunately the oligarchy isn't what it was planned to be. What may save us all, in the end, is not the November 2008 election but the collapse of the economy. A reality that will force the American people to finally come back together after 27 years of being divided. We were divided and conquered. Unfortunately, the house divided falls. And our house, really, is built on the economy. And the foundation has now cracked and the pillars are giving way.
