Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2597 (ROSS PEROT)
I was raised in San Francisco, a strong Democratic Party community and do not think I even met a Republican until I was in College. EVERYONE I knew was a Democrat (obviously I didn't know alot of people). The possibility of voting Republican was and still is for me.... unthinkable! I have never voted for a Republican and doubt I ever will. However, after Bobby Kennedy, I haven't found a Democrat I would be eager to vote for. This time around, I voted for Tonsgas, but come the Fall.... Perot is looking pretty good. One thing about Bush that bothered me four years ago was that I did not know what he really beleived in (like some say about Perot). I couldn't tell if he was honest, a puppet for Regan and the Conservative Right Wing, or if he was his own man. Today, I still don't know if he is a puppet for the Conservative Right, an insecure man trying to fight off a wimp image by staging wars, or a person I would want to trust to led this nation in Justice, Equal Rights, Privacy, and Economic Reform. The way it appears to me today, I trust Perot more than Bush or Clinton. I know that Perot is a person who puts his principals and his pocketbook where his mouth is; he appears honest and sincere and he acts with integrity. +Rick+ Oh, and the though of Danny-Boy being a heart-beat away from the Presidency scares me.
