Did anyone on DU vote for Perot?

[ButterflyBlood]

In 1992 my dad did, I probably would've if they let 9 year olds vote.

1. My kids did.

2. I almost did in 1992 but I voted for Bush instead.

You may spank me now.

[daveskilt]

10. a spanking! a spanking! - yes you must spank us all!

I suppose that can be forgiven then being a dozen years ago and all :)

sorry im in such a python mood tonight, no idea why.

[KAZ]

3. Nope, but half my family did.

Three of them wouldn't have voted anyway, but if they were so inclined, it certainly wouldn't have been 41.

[Kadie]

4. Yep

Hubby and I both did. We had no idea who Clinton was, and we got a kick out of Perot with his charts, pointers, and talking about the big sucking sound of jobs leaving the US. I have to also say that we weren't really that much into politics at the time. No where near like we are today.

5. I wasn't going to vote for him until I saw him and Gabby Hayes in the...

...same photo together to prove that they were not both one in the same person. Never seen one so I voted for Clinton.

15. I think it was Frog Millhouse that was in the same photo with Ross

[sspiderjohn]

6. I confess -- was even a regional campaign manager

7. I didn't. However...

...elsewhere I posted that Anybody But Bush would be acceptable to me in '04. Remember those "giant sucking sounds" that were going to emanate from south of the border? Man, did H. Ross nail that one. In fact, even Mexico is experiencing those sucking sounds now as the jobs sail over the western horizon toward China and even cheaper labor. If H. Ross Perot were the only viable alternative candidate to Bush this election year, I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

8. I did the first time.... he did run a second time, right?

Anyway, I lived in Dallas at the time, and I worked at a private "city club," and waited on him a couple times. He was a HOOT! I thought it should be easier for third party or independent candidates to get into the debates and get funding, and I wasn't really knowledgable about politics... hadn't identified with a party yet, etc. I was young and uninvolved, and just liked that a guy I met was running. Plus, I just looooooooooooved those charts!LOL! I still have my "Ross for Boss" t-shirt!

9. might have -wasnt a citizen then though

and I was also young and stupid and just moving away from my childhood inherited conservative leanings.

Of course I would only have done it to see admiral stockdale as VP -that guy ruled!!

[DaveSZ]

11. Much of Perot's beliefs are quite liberal

I'd be willing to give the guy a shot.

[not systems]

12. Hell no. Clinton...

was the man.

I supported Jerry Brown in the primary.

[TN al]

13. Proudly voted for Clinton..

...twice.

[WillyBrandt]

14. ME ME ME! I played Perot in a 7th grade mock-debate!

I was a Perot acolyte at age 12. I read United We Stand, all that. Pretty funny to look back upon

(Though in the Dem primary I liked Tsongas, and my father liked Brown. I couldn't get my dad to vote Perot however--he voted Reagan in 1980, regrets it till this day, and has voted Democratic since...)

[0007]

16. Tsongas was a class act!

[On the Road]

17. I Might Have in 1992

I actually don't remember. A that point, I was halfway in my pilgrimage from the GOP to the Democratic party.

More importantly, I was extremely concerned about the budget deficit, and I thought it would take a one-issue candidate willing to commit political suicide to balance the budget. I was wrong. Clinton did it.

[w13rd0]

18. I did...

...my first vote in a Presidential election was 1992. Voted for Perot. Did so again in 1996. "Campaigned" for Nader in 2000. Had a friend beat me over the head with the "making sense" stick the day before elections. Dropped a pile of books on my head and asked why someone who was so inclined to call the media corporate stooges and liars was so quick to believe their lies about Gore. Voted for Gore...

[LividLiberal]

19. Nope, I went with Clinton

[President Jesus]

20. Ross Perot campaign contributions 1993-2004

Interesting list. Gave $2k to Bush last July.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

21. I did, my husband did

and my uber-conservative in-laws BOTH did. Along with my sister in law, my Democrat parents, my grandparents, my cousins, and almost everyone I KNEW.

It was weird. We were all on the same page with Perot. He sucked us in with the charts, man. I didn't know a lot about Clinton and just got kinda charmed by Perot. I wasn't as politically active as I am now.

[NMLobo]

22. Why?

When I could vote for Clinton.

Fortunately he took enough votes from Pappu.:toast:

I've been wondering recently why did Ross pull outof the race (for a time).

I suspect he may have found the proverbial "horse's head" in his bed.
