They got almost 20 million votes - and ZERO electoral college votes. Perot may have/probably did take enough votes away from Bush to let Clinton win. Clinton ended up with 44 million votes vs 39 million for Bush. Since Perot, the highest point reached by the libertarian party was just over 1%. Perot got almost 20%. No way is the Libertarian Party getting a majority of the popular vote. Even Gary Johnson has said that his goal is 5% as that would give the party Fed funds and a spot in the debates next time.<br />Ron Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217389199007968254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-23773433933002586812016-07-07T21:28:42.805-07:002016-07-07T21:28:42.805-07:00Heh.Heh.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-10530229252455238802016-07-07T20:57:31.193-07:002016-07-07T20:57:31.193-07:00Shrillary needs to be offered a blindfold and a ci...Shrillary needs to be offered a blindfold and a cigarette.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-80524847190958653422016-07-07T18:52:55.583-07:002016-07-07T18:52:55.583-07:00Hey Virgil, glad you had a good time, thanks for c...Hey Virgil, glad you had a good time, thanks for checking in.<br /><br />:)OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-23641540663926564682016-07-07T18:52:04.989-07:002016-07-07T18:52:04.989-07:00The Dem-Reps / Rep-Dems have failed.

NEVER saw Lyndon in anything OTHER than a white tee shirt and a pair of Osh Kosh bigosh striped overalls, yet he could match wallets with almost anybody. (I know you know the type, living in rural Texas. His last name was Crumbaugh and the main bank in town was the Crumbaugh Natl Bank--or used to be--so he was no broke down sodbuster, lol) Sent three daughters thru the best sororities at the University of Illinois. Two were twin daughters named Charlotte Sue and Mary Lu-would have thought they were from the Deep South with names like that, lol. When his daughters were in college he once brought three huge turkeys to their sorority house for thanksgiving in his coveralls...they sent him around back thinking he was some sort of delivery man, lol!!virgil xenophonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14577165785872035948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-86504935470503835052016-07-07T14:36:22.654-07:002016-07-07T14:36:22.654-07:00Drove right past LeRoi on my trip to Dayton.

Most of the wifes extended relatives were there, so was the closest thing to the kind of 4th I enjoyed growing up in Illinois when all the clan from my Fathers side all over the State gathered annually at the farm of my one of my Dads sisters outside the little town of LeRoi. Her husband had a <i>highly successful</i> turkey farm (cages off the ground) and sharecropped out about 8,000 acres of soy beans. We kids loved it because we had the run of the place, played softball in the front yard while the adults sat on the front-porch/veranda and drank, and we drove Uncle Lyndons jeep every where. Because of the turkeys he had vast cold rooms to store the packaged parts before shipping, so <i>tons</i> of cases of cold soda and beer for adults and kids alike..<br /><br />PS: Caught a little TV and Comey.

Every 4 years I've found myself in the voting booth picking the one candidate who I feel will do the least amount of damage to this country. This time I don't think I can even do that. <br /><br />I think you already know my feelings about Killery, I've spent many years researching her since her philandering husband was running for president. I'm probably one of the few who has actually read her college thesis and that woman has gone down hill from there.<br /><br />I still can't get a good read on Trump. He's said a lot of things I totally agree with but I still can't tell if the man<br />is truly sincere and at times he acts like a spoiled child. I just can't see myself in good conscience voting for him.<br /><br />Regardless of how the future goes, I don't worry too much about myself. I'm an old fart who's had a good life and I'll always make it by somehow but I've had my sleepless nights thinking about the futures of my grandkids!! I pray to God that I'm wrong about the world I think they're going to have to face. rkinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432551832152096206noreply@blogger.com
