The Federal Reserve's Money Orgy
SP...were u trying to think of Wilbur Mills? ================= No, Took me a while to find the guy, it was a guy named Wayne Hays, and his squeeze was Elizabeth Ray. . http://www.point.ru/static/galleries/0018/0018819… .— May 1, 2011 6:22 p.m.

My guess is that since he only gt slightly less than 20% of the vote, the balance of people who once supported him thought he was a flake and either voted for someone else or just didn't bother to vote at all. Personally, I had planned to voted for him, but after he pulled his Brett Favre, I didn't think he had the chops to cut it as president ================= That is eaxactly what happened, people were so excited about Perot, and he had such a commanding lead in CA, he was destroying Clinton and had alreayd killed Bush. Perot could have won the election in 92, no doubt about it. But he deserted his supporters, and I still voted for him. Perot receiving 20% of the popular vote in 92 after he dropped out and as an independant was shocking. The most votes any prior Independant candidate received was around 10% with Anderson, I think that was 1980. But Perot did pull far more republican votes than democrat votes, I don't know the spread, I was guessing 3-1 based on memory, may have been less.— May 1, 2011 12:58 p.m.

Also, sex addiction is common among politicians; =============== LOL...hard to not comment on this one. Can you say Bob "Sexual Harrassment" Packwood? JFK?? Larry "Airport Bathroom Sex" Craig??? Mark "Intern Lover " Foley??? "Gary "Dirty Old Man" Condit???? Elliot "$4K Per Act" Spitzer???? LOL...these never get old! Or the one that was really awesome was in the late 70's, forgot who the pol was, but he had his hooker/mistress on his staff payroll and it was a sham, she never actually worked in the office, it was sex money.....man, who remembers that one, the names???— May 1, 2011 12:45 p.m.

check out the 4th comment by a Mr Sandrin following the Taibbi article ... allegations from an eyewitness stating that he saw Mack and others engage in large cocaine use and lewd acts with prostitutes ... we are talking the former CEO of Morgan Stanley .... Clinton was almost removed from office for less ... http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/... ============== Great article, found the comment by Alan Jeffrey Sandrin comment-wild!— April 30, 2011 9:14 p.m.

I don't remember Perot dropping out ================ Yeah, Perot dropped out halfway thru because he claimed some of the republicans were up to "dirty tricks". Perot sat on the sidelines for several months then TRIED, repeat tried, to get back in- but it was too late, people were tired of his bellyaching, cry baby mentality, he proved he didn't have what it takes to run a presidential campaign-and that is thick skin. Trump is the same way, he doesn't have the skin to hang in a presidential race. He is doing OK now, when he is not runnng and is throwing flames everyday, when he is not a target. If Trump declared (he won't) he would fold faster than the local laundry. BTW-before Perot flaked out Perot was leading California, the biggest state in the union, 45 points to Clintons 30 to Bush's 20. I don't think I have ever seen such a commanding lead in CA, or anywhere else really. And yes, Perot handed Clinton the WH. Probably 75% of the votes Perot took nationwide were from Republicans. I was a Democrat back then and I did not vote for Clinton but instead went for Perot. Same in 96. I vote my conscience.— April 30, 2011 6:17 p.m.

Hookers and coke, part of the party when you're hanging at Goldman Sachs or one of the other 3 major Investment Banks.— April 30, 2011 6:09 p.m.

I'm talking about his newly-revealed info that he was in a long-term relationship with another gay male at the time, which means he had EVERY REASON to rule against Prop 8 =============== LOL...so you though he was gay, but didn't think he had a BF?? !! Please Rail, you're killing me.— April 30, 2011 4:08 p.m.

Don't forget Perot's warning about That Giant Sucking Sound! ============== Iwas against NAFTA, and Ross and me were correct, it has turned out to be a HUGE drain on our jobs. I was in sync with Perot on every major issue, but the guy did turn out to be koo-koo, very egotistical. Trump reminds me a lot of Perot, but Perot was more polished than Trump. Oh, and there is no doubt in my mind, none, that Perot would have beat Clinton in 92 if he did not drop out. Glad Clinton won even though I voted for Perot.— April 30, 2011 4:07 p.m.
