Mediaite
(an entertainment blog) is carrying this headline, today:
In
New Documentary, A Usually Reticent George H.W. Bush Has Harsh Words For Ross
Perot
Understand
that the big lie as relates to Bush 41 and his loss to Bill Clinton is this:
his "read my lips" statement cost him the election.
Absolutely
not true. Ross Perot took 19% of the conservative vote from Bush, in that
election. Bush, in turn, lost to Bill Clinton.
Understand that Clinton won with only 43% of the national vote.
Perot took 19% of the vote and was NEVER going to win this election.
George H Bush scored 37% of the popular vote, losing to Clinton by
just 6%.
In
Clinton's second election, Dole lost to Bubba by 8.3% with Perot (yes,
this moron ran twice) taking 8.4% of the vote. Clinton scored a
victory with 49.2% of the vote, the only president in modern history to
win two presidential elections without a majority vote in either .
. . . . . . so much for his "popularity."
